Many acres remain blanketed in tall sugar cane, swaying in the ever-present trade winds, but the change in world sugar prices since the Nineties forced landowners to diversify.</p> <p><strong>LIFESTYLE DESTINATION WITH PROPERTY FOR SALE</strong></p> <p>The Espitalier-Noël family owns substantial land in the quiet south. When they were forced to halt sugar production in 1998 Hector stood outside his factory and reassured his weeping staff that he would create a lifestyle destination there. He now oversees the Heritage Le Telfair and Awali luxury beachfront hotels and a championship <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20161119111917/http://www.homesandproperty.co.uk/topic/golf">golf</a> course on the 9,500-acre estate.</p> <p>Mauritius’s reputation as a five-star holiday destination is matched by a growing status among golfers, and the Heritage course has twice been named the Indian Ocean’s best.</p> <p>In 2002 the Mauritian government first allowed foreigners to buy freehold property on approved resorts and benefit from residency and a low-tax regime if spending over £402,000.</p> <p>Villas Valriche is a carefully landscaped villas-only golf resort on Hector’s land where 150 homes are built and sold. The detached two- to six-bedroom homes are half a mile from the sea with pools, terraces and private gardens and ocean, golf or mountain views. Villas are built to order with a fixed masterplan allowing for 288 in all.</p> <div class="relatedlinkslist inline-block-related-list inline-block-right"> <h2 class="box-title">Read more</h2> <div class="relatedlinkslist-content"> <ul class="related"><li><a data-author="Cathy Hawker..." data-nid="105821" data-publish_date="07-11-2016" href="/web/20161119111917/http://www.homesandproperty.co.uk/luxury/property/inside-432-park-avenue-the-tallest-residential-tower-in-the-western-hemisphere-soars-96-floors-and-a105821.html">Inside 432 Park Avenue - the tallest homes in the western hemisphere</a></li> <li><a data-author="Cathy Hawker..." data-nid="105321" data-publish_date="17-10-2016" href="/web/20161119111917/http://www.homesandproperty.co.uk/property-news/buying/holiday-homes/newbuild-ski-homes-in-the-french-alps-improved-connections-and-low-mortgage-rates-make-flats-in-m-a105321.html">New-build ski homes attract London buyers to the French Alps</a></li> <li><a data-author="Cathy Hawker..." data-nid="105171" data-publish_date="06-10-2016" href="/web/20161119111917/http://www.homesandproperty.co.uk/property-news/buying/holiday-homes/holiday-homes-in-majorca-from-160k-where-to-find-unspoilt-villages-whitewashed-townhouses-and-a105171.html">Where to find holiday homes in Majorca from £160k</a></li> </ul></div> </div> <p>Owners have full use of the extensive facilities of the nearby two Heritage hotels including gym, spa, tennis courts, 11 restaurants and two beach clubs.
