Shopping

You can buy an amazingly wide range of items in Mauritius. The country has an enviable reputation for textiles production, particularly pull-overs and knitwear. Shirts, trousers, suits, dresses, suits for women, shorts, swimwear, basketwork, embroidery, pottery, cut stones and recycled glass are all very much in demand. Those who love cooking will be able to take back fruit jellies, chillies, and other types of spices and pickles. And don't forget to buy some vanilla tea or rum.

Cuisine

Night-life

Discos and bars are in plentiful supply in Mauritius. Most are found in Grand Bay, the main towns and coastal resorts.
