Surinam, Mauritius
Follows Mauritius Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
Tucked away in the Savanne District of Mauritius, Surinam is a small village with a population of just 10,507 according to the 2011 census. Nightingale College, founded in 1964, spent years bouncing around various locations before settling on Royal Road in 1970, where it remained until the Ministry of Education took over. While the quiet, rural setting may appeal to some, the persistent bureaucratic headaches of relocating an institution like Nightingale College suggest that Surinam is better suited for those seeking a sleepy, uneventful retirement than ambitious expats looking to start a new chapter.
