2 Best Shopping in Mauritius

With its South African–inspired architecture and more than 50,000 square meters of retail space, the La Croisette mall houses dozens of stores and an open air plaza. A wide range of restaurants, from fast-food to upscale, give diners plenty of options, and children can play in the completely refurbished playing area before the family heads to the multi-screened cinema. Although the prices tend to be on the high side, this one-stop shopping mall offers internationally branded products as well as Mauritian crafted souvenirs.

This complex nestled at the foot of the Black River Mountain is one of the island’s best kept secrets. It's a perfect mix of traditional and contemporary style and provides visitors with a wide range of high-quality goods, from wine to branded clothes, jewelry and works of art. Retail prices here tend to be on the high side, but the restaurants, which include the Medium Rare Steakhouse, are quite affordable and popular among the local ex-pat community
