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.

This is a lovely hotel in an incredible beach setting. There is also a separate island where you can have a BBQ lunch accessed by boat every 30 mins. The water is very shallow so you can walk over out a long way. The hotel catamaran trip is fantastic and quite cheap. We did this twice as it was so good. We had great meals in the restaurants that you book. However I'm disappointed to report that we were unhappy with the food in the buffet and beach restaurants. The food was barely warm and very bland in flavour. The hotel is spotlessly clean and room cleaning was great. The bar service at beach bar was great and friendly. The main bar was hit and miss, and occasionally not very friendly. It's a shame as most of staff were delightful but let down by a few of the staff. We therefore will not be coming back. Read less
