Botanic Bay: The 19% Footprint, Fully Reserved, And Nearing Handover

Botanic Bay in Grand Baie is now fully reserved, with construction on schedule for delivery at end of 2026. Built on just 19% of the plot, the project offers a rare green setting in the heart of Grand Baie, with 81% of the land dedicated to landscaping, palm trees and open garden spaces. Its fifteen three-bedroom en-suite apartments, priced from EUR 490,000, sold out ahead of handover.

Botanic Bay is the G+2 development that has been on site in Grand Baie since late 2025. Eighteen months into the active construction phase, the project has reached an interesting moment in its lifecycle. The 19% footprint that defined the brief from the very first feasibility study is now visible on the ground. Construction is on schedule for delivery at the end of 2026.

Here is where the project stands today, and what each of those numbers actually means.

The 19% Footprint: The Decision That Shaped Everything

The developer's brief was clear from the start. On a parcel of this size in the centre of Grand Baie, the conventional approach would have been to build on thirty-five to forty per cent of the plot. More square metres of residence, more units to sell.

The developer chose differently. The built footprint stays at nineteen per cent of the land. The remaining eighty-one per cent is dedicated to landscaping: palm trees, lush tropical plantings, and open garden spaces designed to frame the buildings rather than the other way around.

The result is a residence held inside a green setting rather than a green setting held inside a residence. The landscape is the first thing buyers see when they arrive on site, and the daily backdrop to life once they move in. It is the defining feature of Botanic Bay.

Fully Reserved: What Sold

Botanic Bay is now fully reserved — every apartment is spoken for ahead of handover. Here is what buyers chose and what each unit type involves.

Apartments

Two apartment configurations were offered, both designed around the same layout principle: three bedrooms, each en suite. The interior surfaces are 140m² for Type 1 and 143m² for Type 2, and the apartments were priced from 490,000 euros.

The three bedrooms en suite layout has been a deliberate choice from the design phase. It suits families with two or three children where each child has their own room and bathroom, but it also works for couples who want generous guest accommodation when family or friends visit.

A Few Months From Handover

Botanic Bay is a few months away from being a delivered building rather than a project on plan. With every apartment now reserved, the focus shifts to interior choices and the practical setup of moving in, ahead of delivery at the end of 2026.
