What souvenirs should you bring back from Mauritius?
Your holiday is coming to an end, your suitcases are almost packed… but one final mission remains: finding the perfect souvenir from Mauritius!
More than just an object, a souvenir tells a story. It brings back memories of a journey, a special encounter, a fragrance or a flavour you wish to experience again once you are back home. In Mauritius, the most meaningful souvenirs are rooted in the island’s sugarcane heritage, local craftsmanship and know-how passed down from generation to generation.
Here are some ideas to bring home a true piece of Mauritius!
Unrefined sugars: Mauritius’ gourmet treasure
For more than three centuries, sugarcane has shaped Mauritius’ landscapes, economy and history. Mauritian unrefined sugars reveal an incredible range of flavours: honey, caramel, vanilla, liquorice or molasses… Each variety has its own unique character and can enhance everything from coffee and desserts to cocktails and marinades.
At the Village Boutik of L’Aventure du Sucre, discover 12 varieties awarded a Geographical Indication (GI), guaranteeing their origin and authenticity. Presented in elegant, travel-friendly packaging, they are among the most popular souvenirs for visitors.
For a truly original gift, discover the beautifully illustrated gift boxes created by Mauritian artists, inspired by the dodo, tropical flora and the vibrant colours of the island.

Mauritian rum: an invitation to travel
Another legacy of sugarcane, rum is an essential part of Mauritius’ identity. At the Village Boutik, the experience begins even before your purchase thanks to the tasting bar, where rum lovers can compare up to 17 New Grove 5* rums. You will also find renowned brands such as New Grove, Mauricia and Lazy Dodo, as well as L’Aventure rum, an exclusive creation specially developed for L’Aventure du Sucre.

The flavours of Mauritius to enjoy at home
A vanilla tea, tropical honey, homemade jam or a few pieces of fruit jelly can instantly bring back holiday memories. The Village Boutik offers a carefully selected range of local products created with Mauritian producers, ensuring everyone can find something they love.
Mauritian crafts: souvenirs that tell a story
The most memorable souvenirs are often those you cannot find anywhere else. Mugs decorated with Mauritian flora, raffia boxes, rabane baskets, vacoa pouches, embroidered textiles and bamboo creations showcase the talent of local artisans while preserving traditional craftsmanship.
The Letan Lontan collection (“long ago” in Creole) reimagines traditional Mauritian objects: jute bags, bamboo baskets, vacoa pouches and creations inspired by the world of historic sugar plantations. Each piece tells a fragment of Mauritius’ story.
Where to buy authentic souvenirs in Mauritius?
Choosing locally made souvenirs also means supporting Mauritian producers, artisans and artists. As the first cultural and creative site certified Made in Moris, L’Aventure du Sucre showcases more than 300 local products and is committed to responsible tourism through the Blue Oasis label.
After visiting the museum or enjoying lunch at the Le Fangourin restaurant, take the time to explore the Village Boutik. Each product takes on a deeper meaning, as it is closely connected to the history of sugarcane, Mauritian heritage and local craftsmanship.
Whether you leave with caramel-flavoured sugar, a gourmet gift box, a bottle of rum, a rabane creation or a mug illustrated by a Mauritian artist, you will not simply be taking home a souvenir.
You will be taking home a little piece of the soul of Mauritius.
