Those torn between ‘contemporary chic’ and ‘utterly authentic’ needn’t choose – after a radical revamp, Tropical Attitude promises both. All bold geometric design and luxe natural touches, this adults-only retreat gives grownups that boutique hotel feel and a genuine Mauritian experience. It starts with its location – facing a turquoise lagoon, just a free shuttle ride from the beautiful beaches at Ile aux Cerfs, it’s near the traditional fishing village of Trou d’Eau Douce. And it continues with its attitude – with real Mauritius found everywhere from its spa treatments to its experiences, including cookery lessons, a weekly ‘Made in Mauritius’ market, and home-cooked dinners at local families’ homes. Dining at Tropical Attitude is equally authentic, whether you’re at its intimate Kot Nou restaurant (which seats just 20 guests), tucking into Mauritian street food from TABA-j, or taking one of its picnic baskets over to Ile aux Cerfs. Book into one of the newer villas to enjoy a private pool all to yourselves, perfect for a special occasion.

We had a wonderful 2-night stay at Tropical Attitude. From the moment we arrived, we were met with smiling faces and an incredibly accommodating reception team.
The service was top-notch across the board—the restaurant managers and servers were so attentive, and the bartenders mixed some of the best cocktails we’ve had! Our Deluxe Seafront Room was excellent and kept spotless by the kind cleaning staff. We ended our trip with a couple’s massage at the spa, which was absolutely fabulous.
Delicious food, great vibes, and a truly kind team. We can't wait to go back!

Myself and my wife spent 10 glorious nights at the Tropical Attitude in February and i can not say enough good things about it. We can't work out why it is only a 3star hotel when it is a five star all day long.
From the moment you check in till the moment you check out they can not do enough for you. The staff every single one of them from reception to waiting men and women,to the chefs to the groundstaff, bulkshop to bar staff and not foegetting custermer services look after you and all with a smile on their faces.
We upgraded to the villa and again our cleaner was excellent as are all of them.
We have travelled quite a lot in our time but we never stay in the same hotel twice till now that was our second visit to Tropical and hopefully the third is not far off, we have found our go to holiday and hotel.
Hotel - excellent
Staff - fantastic
Food - brilliant
Holiday - just what the doctor ordered.
Thankyou Tropical see you soon

I had an amazing day out at Tropical Attitude in Mauritius. From the moment we arrived, Selven at the reception made us feel incredibly welcome with his warm and friendly service. The hotel has such a relaxed, authentic Mauritian charm that instantly puts you in holiday mode.
The setting overlooking the lagoon is absolutely beautiful — calm, peaceful, and perfect for switching off. The pool area was spotless and comfortable, with plenty of space to relax and soak in the stunning ocean views. The atmosphere is adults-only, which made the experience even more tranquil.
Lunch was delicious, with a great variety of fresh local dishes, and at the bar..Visham and Adarsh were the perfect guys you need for an excellent service. Also the cocktails were refreshing and perfectly prepared. Everything felt well organized and thoughtfully arranged for day guests.
Overall, it felt like a mini escape in paradise. I would highly recommend Tropical Attitude for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable day experience in Mauritius. I’ll definitely be back!

Dear Karen and the entire team!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for organizing such a truly magical wedding for us here in Tropical Atitude.
Everything was absolutely perfect, and we felt so cared for every single moment.
Karen, your dedication, warmth, and attention to every detail made our special day beyond anything we could have ever imagined.
You created memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
A special thank you to our photographer, Krishna, who was truly amazing—so professional, talented, and able to capture every beautiful moment perfectly.
We would also like to warmly thank our wonderful room cleaner, Nazimah, who surprised us every day with unique and creative towel decorations. Those thoughtful details made our stay even more special and unforgettable.
We are incredibly grateful to the whole team for their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. This experience was unforgettable, and we will carry it with us forever.
We wholeheartedly recommend everyone to come here—whether for a wedding or at least for a honeymoon. It is truly a place where dreams come true.
Thank you once again for everything. We will never forget our stay, even when we will be 70 years old, we will still remember you.
