Following the success of Listing Jozi and Listing Cape Town, BBC Studios’ lifestyle channel in Africa, BBC Lifestyle, brings you a brand-new series – Listing Mauritius. The 10-part series starts on Wednesday 16th October at 20:00, exclusively on BBC Lifestyle, DStv Channel 174. Episodes will be repeated Thursdays at 17:00 and available on DStv catch-up. Mauritius is known for its breathtaking beaches, luxury resorts, amazing tropical weather and diverse culture, but over the past few years, the island has fast become a haven for foreign property investors from all over the world, including South Africa.
“We have been mesmerised by the beauty and splendour that Mauritius offers; in its people and in the diversity of luxury properties that we got to see. We can’t wait for BBC Lifestyle audiences to watch this series” says Nico Nel & Trevor Kaplan, producers of Listing Mauritius.
Listing Mauritius will allow DStv audiences to step inside the luxury properties on offer on the vibrant volcanic island off the south-eastern coast of Africa, from 12-sleeper boutique hotel villas to beachfront penthouses. The 10-part series will follow a brand-new set of real estate agents as they do all it takes to sell the multi-million Mauritian homes.
“BBC Lifestyle offers a feast of feel-good, inspirational shows, from enticing cooking and celebrity chefs, home improvement tips to our quality line-up of local programming. I am so pleased to expand our local offering with this new production, this time showcasing the luxury homes in Mauritius, and give viewers more of what they love with new seasons of Listing Cape Town and Come Dine With Me South Africa coming next year,” Pierre Cloete, the Commercial Director at BBC Studios in Africa.
