Not just a hotel, Zilwa Attitude is more of an experience, embracing the life of the islanders. With a relaxed village feel, it is packed with authentic Mauritian experiences so you’ll truly feel like one of the natives after a week or two here. In a beautiful location, overlooking endless stretches of sandy beach and with stunning views of no less than five islands, it is a slice of heaven. Just a few minutes away by boat, or a short paddle, is Grand Zil where you can while away a few hours on a lounger and perhaps tuck in to a barbecue lunch — or enjoy a rejuvenating massage on the smaller Ti Zil. Rooms are inspired from traditional seaside bungalows and are contemporary in design but rustic too with rough white-washed walls and brushed cement floors. Embracing bright colours, there's a choice of room types, as well as family rooms, apartments and suites by the sea. Book a treatment at the world-class spa and take some time to chill on a day bed in the relaxation garden whilst listening to the twitter of birdsong. As you kick back, the little ones will be kept happy at the kids' club, with a fun garden, a games room and a large boat to explore and escape the sun ! There are seven restaurants at Zilwa, offering cuisines from European to Creole, Indian and Asian, and the All Inclusive dine-around experience means you can discover wonderful varied meals each day of your stay.

After spending a week here, we have enjoyed minute. The highlights of which were great food options, amenities, cleanliness, all of which were of an exceptional standard. The biggest shout out goes to the staff, who are so friendly and accommodating, you couldn’t ask for anything more. The rooms and hotel grounds have an amazing attention to detail and we would highly recommend this hotel if you like good service, beautiful food and great staff! The trip to Gran Zil (private island) is a must and we would highly recommend trips for local experiences with Big John who works alongside the hotel.

Review at Zilwa attitude
Oct 21, 2025nusrah N
Had a fantastic weekend at Zilwa Attitude! From the receptionist to the manager, the level of customer service was outstanding. The food selection was excellent, the room was spotless—no complaints at all. A special thank you to Mr. Amrish for making sure everything I needed was taken care of. I’ll definitely be returning to Zilwa again!
Idyllic

We had a wonderful, relaxing holiday at the Zilwa Attitude. It was easy to find sunbeds and to book into the a la carte restaurants (all of which we enjoyed). A special mention to Ashley at the Lor Disab (he also makes the best G&Ts!). The Spa was welcoming and serene. Also the young man running the Water Gym was amazing - a really fun session…

A special mention to Ashley at the Lor Disab (he also makes the best G&Ts!). The Spa was welcoming and serene. Also the young man running the Water Gym was amazing - a really fun session each morning.
All the staff were polite and helpful plus the hotel is kept very clean. Would recommend taking the short boat ride over to the Island for a gentle explore and a lovely BBQ.

We were running late with our lunch for our departure taxi and the waiter packed our pizza into a box and bought it to the taxi for us big thank you to him unfortunately I don’t know his name but he was so thoughtful.
All the staff are an asset to this hotel
Keep up the good work.
