The south-east of the island embodies the gentler way of life of yesteryear. That’s where you’ll find Pointe d’Esny Le Village, an avant-garde project rooted in respect for nature and human well-being.
Crystal-clear lagoons, white sandy beaches, green expanses dotted with natural ponds that reflect the immensity of the sky... Welcome to Pointe d’Esny Le Village.
This development encapsulates the soul of a vibrant region, designed in the image of its timeless Mahébourg, but also capturing the smiles and human warmth that are the region’s signature. This authenticity is a value Pointe d’Esny Le Village is determined to preserve at all costs the territory and its charms.
Is it really possible to develop a village while protecting its unique natural heritage? It’s part of Pointe d’Esny Le Village’s vision. Adopting an environmental and sustainable approach in real estate projects is possible and necessary – this is where the future of real estate in Mauritius lies. “Development can - and should – be carried out with an ecological and sustainable vision. This is where the future of real estate in Mauritius lies”, says Caroline Raffray, Head of Development - Property at Compagnie de Beau Vallon Ltée.
Launched in 2022, the village will extend over 70 hectares while preserving the wetlands at its heart, which are essential to its ecosystems.
“We are embarking on a long-term programme to preserve and restore more than 12 hectares of wetlands,” continues Caroline Raffray. One of the project’s first initiatives involves the planting of 400 native and endemic trees, the first of 7,000 planned for the project overall, to encourage biodiversity by promoting the return of the dwindling local fauna, and to create ecological corridors between various locations vital to the south of the island.
“Above all, we want to be agents of change to stop climate change,” adds Caroline Raffray. The installation of Triton rainwater management technology illustrates this engagement: installed in March 2022, this system,
developed from soya-based polymers, uses a network of basins to retain and filter the water collected, which is then slowly channelled towards the wetlands and then the lagoon. A first for Mauritius – and also in the Indian Ocean!
Who says development and environmental protection can’t go hand in hand?
