How much does it cost to build a house in Mauritius? (2026)
Mauritius is a relatively low-cost construction market, at about 42% of United States build costs. Construction here typically runs about $55–$101 per ft² ($588–$1,092 per m²) for a standard-specification home — so the total depends mostly on floor area and finish level.
