Villa Vie

With over four decades of trusted service, Villa Vie has become one of Mauritius’s most respected names in luxury real estate. Founded in 1982 by Françoise Maujean in the tranquil coastal village of Pereybere, what began as a small operation helping friends rent holiday homes has grown into a multi-faceted real estate agency known for its integrity, personalised care, and deep-rooted local expertise.

The agency’s evolution has mirrored Mauritius’s own transformation—from quiet island escape to vibrant international destination. As the tourism and property markets developed, Villa Vie remained agile, adapting its services while staying true to its boutique ethos. Under the leadership of Sophie Hardy, daughter of the founder, the company expanded into long-term rentals, residential sales, and international investment support, offering flawless guidance to both local and foreign clients.

Villa Vie is particularly acclaimed for its hands-on, empathetic approach. Whether working with a first-time homebuyer or an experienced investor, the team offers a tailored experience that prioritises understanding each client’s unique needs and lifestyle goals. Testimonials frequently highlight the team’s warmth, responsiveness, and professionalism, naming standout agents like Mary Ann, Camille, Cristel, and Sophie for their exemplary service.

In 2025, Villa Vie was awarded the revered Luxury Lifestyle Awards for Best Luxury Independent Real Estate Agency in Mauritius—an honour that affirms its passion for client satisfaction. This recognition also highlights the agency’s position in the competitive high-end market, where foreign investment and residency-linked property schemes continue to play a major role.

Villa Vie’s independence is one of its greatest strengths. Unbound by rigid corporate frameworks, the agency remains flexible, authentic, and truly Mauritian at heart. Strategic partnerships, like its collaboration with SmartTraveller, allow clients not only to purchase property, but to transition smoothly into island life, supported by expert guidance in legal, administrative, and lifestyle matters.

As Villa Vie continues to grow, its mission remains to deliver real estate services that are thoughtful, trustworthy, and people-focused. Whether you’re looking to invest, relocate, or simply find your perfect island retreat, Villa Vie offers a gateway to the Mauritian dream.
