All owners have access to a wide range of facilities on the estate.<\/p>\n<p>By purchasing a residence at Heritage Villas Valriche owners automatically enjoy a number of benefits including privileged access to: the Heritage C Beach Club, Heritage Le Telfair Golf &amp; Wellness Resort, Heritage Awali Golf &amp; Spa Resort, Heritage Golf Club, Heritage Nature Reserve, and Heritage Villas Valriche Sports Centre \u2013 fitted with state-of-the-art equipment, as well as access to in-villa hotel services such as a private chef,\u201d said Haller.<\/p>\n<p>As the first golf course was over-subscribed, a second golf course designed by Peter Matkovich and Louis Oosthuizen is currently under construction and due for completion in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, a quarter of the estate\u2019s owners are already reaping the rewards of revenue generation via a rental pool. \u201cThe villas are rented out under the successful \u2018Heritage The Villas\u2019 brand, which continues to be awarded top ratings by TripAdvisor.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, to aid ease of ownership, a well-established Homeowners\u2019 Association and centralised external villa maintenance is controlled by the homeowners,\u201d said Haller.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit, added Haller, is that as an Integrated Resort Scheme (IRS), foreign homeowners, their spouse and children under the age of 24 are entitled to Permanent Residency status in Mauritius.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, under their permit, homeowners with permanent residency can now even bring their parents with them \u2013 thereby enabling three generations to reside in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Anton de Waal, CEO of Heritage Villas Valriche, said: \u201cA low-density development which forms part of the registered Bel Ombre UNESCO Man and Biosphere, this is arguably the most sustainable development on the island with breath-taking panoramic views and lush, landscaped green spaces in addition to the greenery of the golf course.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOwners enjoy preferential membership of our world-class PGA championship \u2018Le Chateau\u2019 golf course that hosts the Afrasia Bank Mauritius Open championship on the European, Asian and Sunshine tours, as well as our second \u2018La Reserve\u2019 course under construction.<\/p>\n<p>Owners also benefit from guaranteed subscription to the hotels and beach club for the next 50 years. \u201d Haller said: \u201cWith Mauritius Airport only a 40-minute drive, Heritage Villas Valriche is ideal for those who prefer a more private, tranquil environment, but still have easy access to nearby Tamarin or Grand Baie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mauritius\">Mauritius<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
