The hotel

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 stayed at the Tropical Attitude hotel in October 2025. The hotel was lovely, in a great location with beautiful views of the Indian Ocean. The highlight for us was not only being in Mauritius on an amazing holiday, but the wonderful staff. Everyone we met was amazing, and so happy to help make the experience a once in a lifetime trip. The staff were so warm and welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble, and we felt that everyone genuinely wanted to make this a trip to remember. The list is very long, and everyone was wonderful, but a special mention for Patricia, who was a star in looking after our room with amazing towel art, Karen who was a mine of information and always happy to help, the spa team who provided an amazing experience and the fantastic bar and restaurant team. Thank you for making our holiday an amazing experience! Read less

A real gem. A true tropical getaway. It's location is wonderful with panoramic views across the bay to Ile Aux Cerfs. The amenities and daily programmes are well thought through but not too frenetic or full. There are only about 66 rooms so it has a boutique feel to the whole place.

A real gem. A true tropical getaway. It's location is wonderful with panoramic views across the bay to Ile Aux Cerfs. The amenities and daily programmes are well thought through but not too frenetic or full. There are only about 66 rooms so it has a boutique feel to the whole place. The pool is central and has plenty of beds and loungers surrounding it. The boutique shop has some lovely items, perfect as keep sakes or gifts. The reception and concierge service is helpful and they can book taxis, trips and free activities for you such as yoga, glass bottom boat, snorkeling and trips to the islands across the bay, Ile Aux Cerf. The position of the hotel is gorgeous as the distant waves crash against the coral reef in the distance and the vistas of the mountains in thr distance make an interesting skyline. The main restaurant is well stocked for breakfast, lunch and dinner with various cooked and uncooked options. Kot Nou restaurant is something special. The tapas they provide are so well prepared and sumptuous. The variety is good and the portion sizes are perfect. A must to book while staying at the hotel. Taba J shack is delightful. The lunchtime menus of salads, rhotis and upside down bowls or biryani were good and it was swiftly dispensed once ordered. They also do lovely tea time treats of local sweets and  treats like cakes and pancakes in the late afternoon. The tea baz station was a lovely touch with a variety of premade fruit teas. You also had the option to create your own blend with various pots of aromatics and spices. The Sea U bar was great. The online menu was varied including alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. The bar staff were very patient and professional. The POZ Spa was amazing. Genuine bliss. Totally worth every minute and great value. An absolute must if you stay at the resort. Overall the hotel was very well cared for and had plenty of friendly and helpful staff on hand. The departure lounge was great with storage, showers and a chill out area. The wildlife was great with plenty of birds and lizards around. On a number of occasions guests saw dolphins in the bay, and on the glass bottom boat trip you got to see turtles. The bountiful foliage and clever design of the rooms made it feel spacious and luxurious. The jetty is a great viewpoint across the bay to the mountains and the rest of Trou de deuce. We felt rested, well cared for a genuinely didn't want to leave. A wonderful hidden gem. Read less
