Mauritius Shopping: 4 Best Local Souvenir Shops in Mauritius

Nowadays, Mauritius is highly Westernized. Malls include worldwide famous shops that are slightly more expensive than in Europe. With very few factories remaining, Mauritius does not offer many competitive textile goods. Most handcrafted items are available at the main Port-Louis market, Caudan mall, and in shops near touristic areas.
Locals usually shop in malls and in cities located in the center, such as Rose-Hill, Quatre Bornes, or Curepipe. If you visit small city shops, always bargain and carry cash (credit cards not accepted.)

The Heart of our Capital City

Port Louis Central Market

Being the main city in Mauritius, Port Louis is the home of the largest market, where you can find fresh food items, local dishes, and various handcrafted goods that are useful to locals and serve as souvenirs for tourists. It is always crowded, even during weekdays, as many locals working in Port Louis stop by for a cheap snack.

Grand Baie's Western Corner

La Croisette Mall

La Croisette is the most faithful representation of the Western World available in Mauritius. It is a wide, modern and well-maintained mall with many luxury shops, fine dining restaurants, and sophisticated public areas. Although it sure pleases, it is quite expensive for locals and is rather empty even on weekends.
