Bagatelle Mall Goes Big on Fun: Flip Out, Food Court & Play Zone
To mark its 15th anniversary, Bagatelle Mall is transforming 6,000 m² into a leisure and dining hub, with Flip Out opening in November 2026.

Shopping, watching a film, and picking up new clothes may no longer be enough to keep Mauritians coming back to the mall. Across the island, shopping centres are increasingly betting on food, entertainment, and family activities to pull in visitors — and Bagatelle Mall, located in the central-west region of Mauritius near Moka, is making its biggest move yet in that direction.
To celebrate its 15th anniversary, Bagatelle is set to transform approximately 6,000 square metres of space around its former cinema into a new leisure and dining destination.
**Flip Out Is Coming to Mauritius**
The centrepiece of the project is Flip Out, a European indoor activity brand known for trampoline parks and action-based entertainment. Its Bagatelle location is scheduled to open in November 2026 and is expected to include a Ninja Park, laser tag, and a trampoline park — the kind of offering that has proved popular with families and teenagers across Europe and beyond.
Alongside Flip Out, the revamped zone will also feature a children's play area and a covered food court, designed to give families a full day out under one roof rather than just a quick shopping trip.
**A Refreshed Food Court Already Open**
Bagatelle hasn't waited for November to start upgrading its dining offer. The mall has already renovated its existing food court, adding more seating, greenery, and a new dedicated play area for younger children — reportedly aimed at those aged around three and above. The redesign appears focused on making the space feel more welcoming and relaxed, encouraging visitors to linger rather than eat and leave.
**What This Means**
The shift at Bagatelle reflects a broader trend in Mauritian retail: shopping centres are repositioning themselves as lifestyle destinations. With e-commerce growing and consumer habits changing, malls that only offer shops risk losing foot traffic. By adding indoor adventure activities, improved dining spaces, and child-friendly zones, Bagatelle is competing not just with other malls but with leisure outings generally.
For families in and around Port Louis, Moka, and the central plateau — all within easy reach of Bagatelle — this could mean a genuinely new leisure option once Flip Out opens. For the mall itself, it's a significant investment in staying relevant as Mauritius's retail and entertainment landscape evolves.
No total investment figure has been disclosed, and further details about the food court's tenant lineup are yet to be confirmed.
