MJ Développement Groupe

Michaël Ruel and Jean Etchepareborde, real estate developers have known how

to forge deep links within Mauritius. With more than 20 years of experience in the business of real estate and hotel operation, they like to be at the heart of the action, and lead a strong policy of sponsorship in culture, sports and charity in France as well as in Mauritius.

MJ Développement was created in 2007 by these two friends and includes among its

shareholders a strong French industrial: Jean-Louis Desjoyaux (CEO of Group Piscines Desjoyaux, world leader in the construction of swimming pools).

Following many leisure trips to Mauritius, the first project was launched in Rivière Noire in 2014: Marguery Exclusive Villas. It was an instant success. In 2017, MJ Développement started a new project to the north: Mythic Grand Gaube. It, too, was a success, fuelled by the efficiency of our French and Mauritian partners.

"Our goal is to do our job differently. The business is evolving, the market has widely

changed over the past years, and today’s customers are more and more demanding.

We succeed because we handle all our real estate projects from A to Z."

Remazeilles Design

Sophie and Jean-Michel Remazeilles create environments that blend beautiful spaces, brightness, a sense of travel, and cozy furniture to invite relaxation and serenity.

"Houses built at the very top of a hill, like eagle's nests hidden within generous nature. The view of the sea is so deep, so intense in its blue, that one can get lost in admiring it for hours. The constructions respect the landscape and are barely noticeable... Space, height, wood, raw concrete, large glass windows, long promontory terraces, infinity pools: chic with a touch of charm. Legend Hill opens up to nature and seems as if it has always been there... Like balconies over the ocean.

Here, you feel like you're always on vacation. A house so beautiful, so spacious, so comfortable to live in that you never, ever want to leave..."
