Malls in Mauritius fall into two groups. The ones on the central plateau, Bagatelle, Phoenix, La City Trianon, So'flo and Kendra, are where Mauritians shop, and they are the largest, the busiest at weekends and the best for everyday prices. The coastal ones, Caudan Waterfront in Port Louis, Grand Baie La Croisette, Mont Choisy Le Mall and Mahogany Promenade at Tamarin, are built around visitors and have more restaurants, duty-free jewellery and beach-adjacent convenience than bargains. Two things are worth knowing. Duty-free purchases require your passport and a boarding pass, and buying at a licensed duty-free shop in a mall means collecting the goods at the airport rather than carrying them out. Separately, a VAT refund scheme operates for tourists at the airport on qualifying purchases above a minimum value, so keep the receipts. Most malls open late morning and trade until about eight, with reduced hours on Sundays and public holidays. See also cities in Mauritius, cafes in Mauritius and museums in Mauritius.

Bagatelle Mall of Mauritius at Moka, on the motorway between Port Louis and the south, is the largest and has the widest range of international brands, plus a cinema and a large food court. Phoenix Mall and La City Trianon are the other big plateau centres.
Caudan Waterfront in Port Louis for crafts, the Blue Penny Museum and harbour restaurants, and Grand Baie La Croisette or Mont Choisy Le Mall in the north for convenience near the beach hotels. These carry more duty-free and dining and fewer everyday shops.
Licensed duty-free shops require your passport and flight details at purchase, and larger items are usually delivered to the airport for collection at departure rather than handed over in store. Jewellery, watches and spirits are the common categories.
A refund scheme operates at the airport for visitors on qualifying purchases above a set minimum from participating retailers. Ask for the correct paperwork at the point of sale, keep the original receipts, and allow extra time before your flight to process it.
Most malls open around nine or ten in the morning and close by eight in the evening, with restaurants and cinemas running later. Sunday hours are shorter, often closing early afternoon, and public holidays vary. Saturday afternoon is the busiest time of the week.
Textiles are, since the island has a long garment-manufacturing history and factory outlets around Floreal and Curepipe sell knitwear well below European prices. Imported electronics and international brands are not cheaper than at home. Rum, vanilla and local crafts are the usual buys.
