• Le Caudan Waterfront - Start your 7-8 hour shopping adventure with a visit to the capital city, beginning with a convenient hotel pick-up from any location in Mauritius. You’ll be warmly welcomed by our certified guide, and after settling into your comfortable vehicle, you’ll embark on your first destination.

Your journey begins at Le Caudan Waterfront, the first major shopping development on the island of Mauritius. It continues to stay trendy and charming as a modern waterfront mall. Enjoy a leisurely stroll, capture stunning photos of the umbrella alley, and take in the panoramic views of the Port Louis harbor.

• Le Craft Market - Next, proceed to the craft market. Everyone loves to take home a piece of Mauritius, and it’s easy to see why! The Craft Market, located at Caudan, is the perfect place to find your unique souvenir.

Housed in a two-story building within the Caudan Waterfront complex, The Craft Market is renowned for its distinctive craft collection. With 36 stalls, visitors can explore a wide array of products, from exquisite woodwork to intricate baskets, and beautiful glass souvenirs.

Discover items made from seashells, boxes of ground spices, embroidered linen, handmade jewelry, and the famous African rag doll dressed in a traditional sega outfit.

Many of the crafts are created by the stall owners, their families, or sourced from their villages, offering you the chance to meet the artists behind the paintings or even watch your name being engraved on a wooden keychain.

The Craft Market’s location is undoubtedly one of the best.

• Central Market - Afterwards, continue to the local market. While the beaches are captivating, a visit to the Central Market in Port Louis is a must for anyone visiting Mauritius. At the bustling Central Market, you’ll find shops catering to all your needs, including ready-made garments, spices, jewelry, watches, shoes, and crafts.

We highly recommend trying the dhal puri, made with split chickpea and flour, and the famous alouda, a delightful drink similar to a milkshake with basil seeds, grated jelly, and sometimes a scoop of ice. If you’re interested in sampling local snacks, there’s a wide selection of samosas, bajas (chickpea flour fritters), or gato piment (yellow split pea and chili fritters).

The Central Market remains lively as it is a primary shopping destination for locals and attracts people from across the island. It’s definitely worth a visit to learn more about local life and experience the vibrant Mauritian atmosphere.

Be sure to pack your camera, as panoramic photos are a must at this spot! This piece of historical architecture is sure to impress.

• Aapravasi Ghat - Next, visit The Aapravasi Ghat, a World Heritage Site located on the Bay of Trou Fanfaron in Port Louis. This historical site served as an immigration depot by the colonial British government in 1849. It played a crucial role in Mauritian history, marking the beginning of the island’s diverse population.

It was here that indentured laborers transited before starting a new life on the island or departing for other distant lands. Between 1834 and 1920, approximately half a million immigrants, mainly from India, and some from China, Madagascar, or Africa, began working on the island’s various sugar plantations.

• Notre-Dame Auxiliatrice de Cap Malheureux - Later, head to Cap-Malheureux, a charming village in the island’s far north, to visit the picturesque red-roofed Church, offering a splendid view over Gunner’s Quoin and the northern islands. The beach behind allows you to bask in the sun and enjoy the view, while children can play in the white sand and explore aquatic life in the rock pools. Fishermen frequently dock here with fresh catches.

• China Town - Mauritius is renowned for its stunning beaches and diverse flora and fauna, but did you know it also boasts the oldest racecourse in the Southern Hemisphere? The Champs de Mars, located in the capital, Port Louis, is a must-see. If you visit during weekdays, you can enjoy the tranquility and appreciate the infrastructure, with a view of the race track from the outside.

Next, pass through China Town to experience the fascinating Sino-Mauritian culture, with its unique shops, wall art, and decorations that are distinct to Mauritius.
