Remote worker looking for some advice - good internet + socializing

rushikay

Hey there folks,

I must say that discovering this forum has been a real help in me learning so much about the island paradise known as Mauritius  :)

I've gathered most of the info I need to know what I can expect when living here, but I have a few questions that the forum hasn't answered yet.

So hopefully somebody can help me answer these. Let's get started:

1) (I know mauritius internet isn't the best in the world, but...) For someone like me, I am looking for a place that offers a few things: a decent size of °µÍø½ûÇøs who I can socialize with, an area that has decent international internet speeds of 2/4 MBs (or more if I'm lucky), access to most local amenities (hospital, bank, cool beach, supermarket and maybe even a co-working space).

Based on my criteria, which area on the island would be best suited for this?

I know it's a tough question to ask, but I'm sure most of the °µÍø½ûÇøs are living near each other (possibly like Chiang Mai in Thailand), so you guys probably already know where to live and which area has the best internet for remote-workers like myself.

I think that is the only question I really have  :D

You guys have already answered everything else for me on this forum.

I look forward to your responses.

Thanks,

(and if any of you would like to meet when I come visit in a few weeks, it would be great to sit down for coffee and learn about your experiences - so PM me if interested).

Hi, I have only lived in 2 parts of Mauritius which are Grand Bay in the north and La Gaulette, Black river, down south.. Grand Bay is a very touristic place so it's guaranteed that you'll meet a lot of other °µÍø½ûÇøs. In Black River especially in Tamarin you will find a lot of °µÍø½ûÇøs and all other facilities just as in Grand Bay. For internet speed I must say both place relatively have same speed and it's fast. I hope this will help.

I know this topic has been inactive for a while, but in case anyone stumbles here looking for coworking options then here's a directory of spaces in Mauritius that I've put together: cowork.mu. A few spaces have opened in the past year which is really exciting—hopefully coworking will really take off here :)

Thanks for posting this, Joe. It's nice to see the growth of co-working spaces there.
