🇲🇺Mauritius

Mauritius pairs Indian Ocean beaches with a stable economy, a free remote-work visa, and a genuinely multicultural, English- and French-speaking society. Life centers on the warm west and north coasts, where lagoons, hiking, and a relaxed pace replace big-city intensity. Internet is decent in towns, the food is superb, and a low income bar makes it one of the region's most accessible island bases.
