Acquisition Information: Secure, Transparent & High-Value Investments in Nosy Be

1. A Secure Legal and Fiscal Framework

Madagascar’s Investment Law 2023-002 provides foreign investors with a reliable foundation for long-term projects in Nosy Be. Key benefits include:

  • Full repatriation rights for profits and capital.
  • Protection from expropriation without fair compensation.
  • Targeted tax exemptions for qualifying projects (tourism, export, green technologies, etc.).
  • Customs relief on imported equipment and materials.

This framework ensures clarity, predictability, and investor confidence.

2. A Lifestyle Destination for Global Citizens

Nosy Be combines natural beauty with infrastructure designed for international living:

  • Tropical climate all year round.
  • Reliable fiber-optic internet in both residential and tourist areas.
  • Premium services including private healthcare, concierge, domestic staff, and security.
  • Favorable tax regime and simplified visa options for investors, professionals, and retirees.

The island offers a balance of comfort, opportunity, and ease of relocation.

3. A Legally Secure Structure, Fully Controlled Acquisition

The AHUVI Golf & Spa Resort project is designed to international standards, providing investors with:

  • Transparent contracts supervised in both Mauritius and Madagascar.
  • Full ownership through a family-run Société Civile Immobilière (SCI), aligning developers’ and landowners’ interests.
  • Dual notarial supervision ensuring legality and enforceability in both jurisdictions.
  • 99-year emphyteutic lease, renewable to guarantee uninterrupted rights of occupancy.

Investors gain traceability, peace of mind, and long-term stability.

4. Secure Reservation Process & Escrow Protection

From the very first step, investors benefit from a safeguarded reservation process:

  • Reservation deposits are held in a Mauritian escrow account under strict notarial control.
  • Funds are only released under predefined conditions, ensuring accountability and transparency.
  • Simultaneously, a construction contract is signed in Mauritius with the master developer, under a VEFA-like structure (Sale in Future State of Completion).
  • This contract requires an initial 10% down payment.

This mechanism protects investors against financial or contractual risks during the pre-construction stage.

5. Success Threshold Before Launch

Construction officially begins only when 50% of the units have been reserved across all categories:

  • SeaFair Villas (Phase 1 & 2)
  • Signature Lodges (Phase 1 & 2)
  • Sky Villas (Single Phase)

This strategic safeguard ensures the project’s commercial viability before full-scale execution.

6. Lease Signature & Controlled Disbursement Schedule

Once the reservation threshold is reached:

  • The 99-year lease is formally signed, and land is acquired at its official value, certified by Madagascar’s Domaines Authority.
  • A complementary 20% payment is made to trigger construction.
  • Subsequent payments are released progressively by the Mauritian notary, aligned with verified construction milestones, each independently audited by:
    • EGIS – international engineering consultancy.
    • SOCOTEC – global leader in technical compliance and safety certification.

This staged disbursement protects capital and ensures accountability at every step.

7. 10-Year Structural Insurance Guarantee

To secure long-term confidence, each property benefits from a 10-year structural warranty:

  • Provided by Sanlam (Allianz Group), one of Africa’s leading insurers.
  • Covers major construction defects and structural risks for an entire decade after delivery.
  • Provides peace of mind and long-term protection of your asset’s value.

A world-class safeguard, ensuring your investment is covered well beyond completion.

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Full protection from reservation to delivery, with notarial escrow and milestone-based disbursements.
  • Commercial success guaranteed by a 50% reservation threshold before construction starts.
  • Independent international verification of every construction stage.
  • Long-term risk coverage with a 10-year insurance warranty.
  • Lifestyle and fiscal benefits that make Nosy Be a premium global destination.

Conclusion

The AHUVI Golf & Spa Resort is built on a foundation of security, transparency, and international best practices. From the reservation stage to delivery — and throughout ownership — every measure is in place to protect investors, guarantee accountability, and deliver both lifestyle and financial value.

With dual notarial supervision, escrow protection, a reservation success threshold, milestone-based disbursements, and a 10-year warranty, AHUVI sets a new benchmark for secure real estate investment in the Indian Ocean.
