In the south-east of the island, a new way of life is taking shape. Nestled between lush valleys, bordered by a turquoise lagoon and steeped in the region’ s authentic character, FERNEY Tropical Agrihood embodies a new philosophy. Designed by Ferney Ltd and Ciel Properties, this ambitious 20-year project aims to reinvent the relationship between nature, those who cultivate it, those who explore it and those who call it home.
This vision is anchored in clear principles, translated into action across three core pillars: respect for life through soil regeneration and the enhancement of the estate’ s natural heritage— illustrated by its extensive network of nature walks and outdoor experiences; the development of a hub for sustainable agriculture, supporting local agricultural entrepreneurs and encouraging shorter supply chains; and sustainable living, exemplified by the Farm Living project, which combines bioclimatic architecture with agricultural integration. Whether through its careful approach to estate planning( only 6 % of the 3,000-hectare site will be built on), or its commitment to environmentally conscious construction, FERNEY Tropical Agrihood aims to be meaningful. A groundbreaking first in Mauritius.
Now, imagine a place where valleys, forests and hamlets blend in natural balance … Centuries-old trees stand guard over the land, and vegetable gardens sit alongside ornamental ones. Footpaths and shared spaces encourage a vibrant community life built on mutual support, kindness and connection. In this setting, the seasons guide the harvest and inspire everyday culinary pleasures.
FERNEY Tropical Agrihood is not just another project. It is the promise of a revitalized region where nature takes centre stage. A place where people cultivate the land and flourish with it, nourished by its bounty. While it’ s already possible to visit this eco-tourism destination, stay at the lodge, and enjoy activities immersed in nature, living there will soon become a reality.
