Question 1

What shopping is available in Mauritius?

Accepted Answer

Mauritius has a mix of modern shopping malls, local markets, and specialist boutiques. Bagatelle Mall and Cascavelle in the west, Trianon and Floreal Square on the plateau, and Caudan Waterfront in Port Louis are the main mall destinations. Markets in Curepipe, Port Louis and Mahébourg are the best places for craft goods, local produce and souvenirs.

Accepted Answer

Yes — duty-free shopping is available at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport for departing passengers. The Caudan Waterfront in Port Louis also has duty-free retail for tourists. Popular duty-free purchases include locally produced rum, vanilla, spices and textiles. Hold onto your boarding pass and passport when shopping at airport duty-free.

Question 3

Can I buy locally made products in Mauritius?

Accepted Answer

Mauritius has a strong tradition of craft industries. Hand-built wooden model ships are a famous export. Locally blended spices, Bois Cheri tea, vanilla pods, batik fabric, embroidered linens and basket-weaving are also widely available. The craft markets in Curepipe and Mahébourg are the best places to find authentic locally made goods at prices well below hotel boutiques.
