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.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The territory is absolutely beautiful, with several beaches and stunning views everywhere you look. From the very first moment you enter the hotel, the atmosphere feels impressive and special. The room was very comfortable and well-designed. It was pleasant to spend time there during the day, and everything felt thoughtfully arranged. The food was tasty, but the selection was quite limited. The variety could definitely be improved. There were also very few options for children, which made meals more difficult for families. Having more child-friendly choices would make a big difference. While the reception team was very friendly and welcoming, some other staff members were not always attentive or warm. Improving consistency in service would make the experience even better. Overall, it is a beautiful hotel with incredible surroundings, and with some improvements in service and food variety, it could be perfect. Read less

Great hotel laid out over a generous site with low density coverage. View from the upper bar and infinity pool just below the bar is stunning. We have been to several Attitude hotels over the last ten years and though not an adult only hotel, found it to be very enjoyable. Make sure you partake in the aqua aerobics after breakfast as a great antidote to set you up for the day and fun. Staff at the hotel are attentive but not overly so, therefore allowing you to relax and enjoy the passing of the day. We will be back Read less
