Our story
Trace the history of our real estate agencies in Mauritius.
2006 - BlueBay Properties in Mahébourg
The beginnings...
It all started in 2006 in a tiny office in Mahebourg under the name of Blue Bay Properties and with a team of two people. And this says something about us, since those two are still working in our real estate agencies.

As we've always worked with passion, organization and autonomy, Blue Bay Properties has grown and developed. We changed our name to ILOA as business grew in the Grand Bay area, a natural evolution in the real estate industry.
