Bagatelle Mall: 15 years and more to come
For 15 years, Bagatelle Mall has been one of the leading shopping and lifestyle destinations in Mauritius. Since opening its doors, it has grown alongside the island, adapting to new brands, new habits and new expectations in the way people shop, eat, meet and spend their free time.
Celebrating this milestone is not only about looking back. It is about understanding how Bagatelle Mall has evolved, the role it plays in the Mauritian economy today, and where it goes from here.
Bagatelle Mall in numbers
Today, Bagatelle Mall represents more than 63,000 m² of Gross Lettable Area and brings together over 200 brands, including 50 food and beverage outlets. It welcomes approximately 8.6 million visitors every year and generates around Rs 8.4 billion in annual tenant turnover.
Its economic footprint extends beyond the mall itself. Suppliers, contractors, maintenance companies, security providers, logistics partners and other service operators are part of the ecosystem that keeps the destination running every day. Bagatelle Mall currently provides 87 jobs through its service providers.
More reasons to visit Bagatelle Mall
The story of the past 15 years cannot be told through numbers alone.
Bagatelle Mall has steadily expanded the reasons people have to visit. Shopping remains central, but food, services, events, culture, sport and entertainment have become part of the experience.
The Bagatelle Foodies Festival is one example. What began as a food-led activation has become an annual rendez-vous, with more than 30 food and beverage stands taking part in the 2026 edition. The Bagatelle Urban Trail brings a completely different experience, turning the mall into the starting and finishing point of a sporting event.
42 Market Street: five years of local entrepreneurship
42 Market Street has followed its own journey. Five years after its creation, it is now home to nearly 30 businesses, many of them local entrepreneurs, and regularly hosts food festivals, live music, sporting experiences and other activations.
What’s next for Bagatelle Mall?
Bagatelle Mall is still evolving. Around 6,000 m² of the former cinema and surrounding area are being transformed into a new entertainment and social destination. At its heart will be Flip Out, an indoor adventure park operator making its debut in Mauritius, alongside a covered food court, a children’s playground and new dining concepts.
