Why Choose Mauritius for Your Next Film Production

Film production in Mauritius is supported by a well-established incentive program offering a cash rebate of up to 40% for qualifying expenses. The island’s government welcomes foreign productions and provides structured support through the Mauritius Film Development Corporation (MFDC).

Mauritius offers cultural diversity, stable weather, and geographic variety, all within short travel distances. Filmmakers can move quickly between colonial towns, rainforest interiors, secluded beaches, and volcanic peaks. English and French are widely spoken, and the island maintains a solid legal and financial infrastructure.
