Zilwa Attitude

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Star rating

The hotel

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.

great location and vibe. setting is fantastic and the themed approach is very nice. the room was spacious although starting to feel a bit dated. it was great value for money as we were able to enjoy the various restaurants. Shout out to Chef Woody at Manao and his staff for the fantastic food at Manoa and to Rishi and Pritam at Thadka for their hospitality. The highlight was the lunch on the little islet. the kids loved exploring the islets during low tide. the food was great (specially the octopus curry). In general the hotel premises was well maintained and very neat. finally. shout out to the amazing staff of the spa- Cedric, Jessica, Shamila for the top of the class spa services Read less

We enjoyed a wonderful family stay at Zilwa. The resort is very spacious, relaxing, and perfect for spending quality time together. The whole team was welcoming and made our stay truly memorable. A special thanks to Shetty at the bar for being so nice and friendly throughout our stay. At the spa, Luveena was so welcoming, and Cedric, Rosy, Sharmila, and Tessy provided excellent treatment and care. Mr. Vivian Marie was very kind and helpful, and Ms. Yeshna was also very helpful with the booking process. The buffet was good overall, though adding a bit more variety of food would make the experience even better. It would also be great if the kids club could offer more interactive activities for children. Thank you to the entire team for the warm hospitality. We truly enjoyed the days spent there and look forward to visiting again Read less

Fantastic hotel, in a fantastic position. Staff are incredible, nothing is too much trouble, they seem to really enjoy their jobs. Selection of restaurants and food is vast. I visited with my son and daughter in law, who were returning again this year after holidaying in this hotel in 2025.
