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.

Big kudos to Nitish and his colleagues for serving tamarind juice on request at breakfast, which was very tasty. For the dinner reservation in the restaurants is recommended, because better as the buffet. Surprise drink is the "green attitude" (not on the menu). Also especially the dinner with the locals is highly recommended and worth every penny. Read less

My experience at the Zilwa Attitude hotel was outstanding. The location is absolutely beautiful, with the hotel surrounded by stunning nature and incredible waters, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere throughout our stay. The rooms were up to standard and very comfortable overall. We stayed in a family room, and although the extra bed was not as comfortable as we had hoped, the staff responded immediately and brought us an additional mattress to ensure we were comfortable. We really appreciated how quickly this was resolved. The hotel grounds were extremely clean and very well maintained. We also had no issues with noise during our stay, which made the experience even more relaxing. The food was delicious, especially at the Mauritius experience restaurant, Kot Nou, where we received great service and really enjoyed the experience. We also visited the bar, Siro Kann, every night for drinks and the amazing entertainment. Each time we went, we were greeted with a smile and made to feel very welcome. What stood out most during our stay was the staff. Every issue or request we had was dealt with immediately and with genuine care. Every single member of staff we met made us feel at home and treated us more like family than guests. A special shoutout to a few members of staff who helped make our experience even more memorable: Maanish, Juana, Jovany, Nitish, Vishwesh, Dany. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at the Zilwahotel. The beautiful surroundings, great food, entertainment, cleanliness, and especially the incredible hospitality from the staff made our stay one to remember. Read less

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An amazing hotel with truly wonderful people We have just returned from a fantastic stay at Zilwa Attitude and can honestly say we have never been to a hotel quite like it. From the moment you walk into the resort, the view is something you can’t really imagine until you see it for yourself. It is absolutely picturesque, looking straight out across the water, and the whole resort is just beautiful. We were lucky enough to have a lovely room looking straight out onto the beach and we couldn’t have been much closer to the lobby, so the location was perfect for us. The rooms themselves are quite simple, but had everything we needed and were very comfortable. If we had one tiny criticism, it would be that the lighting in the room could have been a little stronger, but that really is a very small point. What makes Zilwa particularly special, though, is the people. There were so many members of staff who went above and beyond for us and really helped make our holiday. A special mention has to go to Cedric and Wendy at the spa. Cedric gave an amazing massage and Wendy was absolutely brilliant too. We would definitely recommend paying the spa a visit during your stay. Kevin from the entertainment team was another standout. He was brilliant and genuinely couldn’t do enough for us. We also received such wonderful service in the restaurants. Ashley and Charlene were fantastic, and a big thumbs up to Nitesh, who was in charge of the restaurants and looked after us so well. The restaurant teams as a whole were excellent and made us feel very welcome. We also want to give a special mention to Victor, one of the hotel’s drivers, who took us on our trips around Mauritius. He was extremely professional, friendly and had so much knowledge about the island. He told us so many things about Mauritius that we would never have known otherwise, which made the trips even more interesting. We would highly recommend finding Victor if you are planning any trips during your stay — he was brilliant and can also be found on Facebook. Overall, we had an amazing holiday. Zilwa is a beautiful resort in an incredible setting, but it is the people who really make it what it is. So many members of staff went out of their way to make our stay special and we came home with some wonderful memories. A huge thank you to everyone at Zilwa Attitude. We would absolutely recommend it. ❤️ Read less

Unser Aufenthalt im Zilwa Attitude war etwas ganz Besonderes. Was dieses Hotel für uns so einzigartig macht, ist neben der wunderschönen Anlage vor allem die unglaubliche Herzlichkeit und das familiäre Gefühl, das man vom ersten Moment an spürt. Man fühlt sich hier nicht einfach wie ein Gast, sondern von Herzen willkommen und umsorgt. Die Mitarbeiter begegnen einem mit einem herzlichen Lächeln, echter Aufmerksamkeit und einer Wärme, die den Aufenthalt zu etwas ganz Besonderem macht. Dieses Gefühl von Wohlbefinden und „Zuhause sein“ wird uns noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir einige Menschen, die unseren Aufenthalt durch ihre freundliche, herzliche und aufmerksame Art bereichert haben und uns ganz besonders in Erinnerung geblieben sind: Ashley, Arvin – unser Chefkoch Lor Disarb –, Sashi, (Roven , Mike, Venkat Grand Zil Team), Nitish, Shameen, Mohun, Bibek, Chef Vick und Paras. Jeder von ihnen hat auf seine eigene Art dazu beigetragen, dass wir uns rundum wohlgefühlt haben. Es sind genau diese persönlichen Begegnungen und die kleinen (und großen!) Aufmerksamkeiten, die einen Urlaub unvergesslich machen. Ein absolut tolles Team jeder einzelnen:):) Ein ganz besonderer Dank geht auch an das gesamte Team hinter den Kulissen. Man spürt, dass hier Gastfreundschaft nicht einfach nur ein Job ist, sondern von Herzen gelebt wird. Das Zilwa Attitude hat für uns deshalb etwas ganz Besonderes: Es ist nicht nur ein wunderschönes Hotel auf Mauritius, sondern ein Ort mit Seele, Herzlichkeit und einem echten familiären Charakter. Ein Ort zum Ruhe finden, denn es gibt keine nervige Animations-Beschallung (außer beim Aqua-Gym). Die täglichen kostenlosen Schnorcheltripps sind genial, wir haben mehrmals Schildkröten gesehen. Schnorchel und Flossen gibt’s vor Ort zum kostenlosen ausleihen. Lor Disab ist Weltklasse und die Cocktails ein träumchen, deshalb unbedingt All inclusive buchen.:):) Wobei hier jedes der 4 a la Cart Restaurants und auch Streetfood und Karay das Hauptrestaurant absolut genial ist. Wir fanden Essen, Service Getränke das ist Premium AI.:):) nicht Standard Das Zimmer war immer super sauber, die Klimaanlage empfanden wir als sehr angenehm von der Lautstärke zum schlafen. Unser vorab gestellten Wunsch nach einem Matratzentopper war bereits zur Anreise erfüllt, da wir zwei Leichtgewichte sind (58 kg) und es gern weich mögen 😅. Auch der Katamaran-Ausflug ist jeden Euro wert, würden wir sofort wieder machen. Das Mittagessen mitten in den Mangroven ist wunderschön. Für uns war der September eine sehr angenehme Reisezeit. Und sollte es doch mal etwas windiger sein, bietet Gran Zil einen windstillen Genusstag Incl. leckerem BBQ. Wir gehen mit vielen schönen Erinnerungen nach Hause und hoffen sehr, eines Tages wiederzukommen. ❤️ Vielen Dank an das gesamte Zilwa-Team für diese wundervolle Zeit!❤️ Our stay at Zilwa Attitude was truly something very special. What makes this hotel so unique for us is not only the beautiful resort itself, but above all the incredible warmth and genuine family atmosphere that you can feel from the very first moment. You don't simply feel like a guest here – you feel genuinely welcomed, cared for and looked after. The staff greet you with warm smiles, genuine attention and a kindness that makes your stay truly special. This feeling of comfort, well-being and “feeling at home” is something we will remember for a very long time. We would especially like to mention a few wonderful people who made our stay even more memorable through their friendly, warm and attentive nature: Ashley, (Arvin – our Chef Lor Disarb -Great Job) Sashi, (Roven, Mike, Venkat Grand Zil Team), Nitish- (fantastic), Shameen(wonderful) Mohun, Bibek, Chef Vick and Paras, Danvir, Philip our Skipper for Snorkeling:) Each of them contributed in their own special way to making us feel completely comfortable and welcome. It is exactly these personal encounters and the little – and big! – gestures that make a holiday unforgettable. An absolutely amazing team – every single one of you! 😊❤️ A very special thank you also goes to the entire team behind the scenes. You can truly feel that hospitality here is not simply a job – it comes from the heart. For us, Zilwa Attitude is therefore something truly special. It is not just a beautiful hotel in Mauritius, but a place with soul, warmth and a genuine family feeling. It is also a wonderful place to find peace and relax, without annoying loud entertainment or constant animation – apart from the Aqua Gym, of course! 😄 The daily complimentary snorkelling trips are fantastic. We were lucky enough to see turtles several times! Snorkelling equipment, including masks and fins, is available free of charge on site, which is a fantastic service. Lor Disab is absolutely world-class and the cocktails are simply a dream! 🍹😍 So we would definitely recommend booking All Inclusive. And the food deserves a special mention too. All four à la carte restaurants are absolutely fantastic, as are the Street Food options and Karay, the main restaurant. We were genuinely impressed by the food, service and drinks. This is premium All Inclusive – definitely not your standard AI experience! 😊 Our room was always spotlessly clean, and we found the air conditioning to be pleasantly quiet, especially when sleeping. We had requested a mattress topper before our arrival because we are both lightweight (58 kg) and prefer a softer mattress 😅 – and our request had already been taken care of when we arrived. Such a lovely and thoughtful touch! The catamaran trip is also worth every euro and is something we would happily do again. Having lunch right in the middle of the mangroves is absolutely beautiful and makes for a very special experience. 🌴⛵ For us, September was a very pleasant time to travel. And even if the weather happens to be a little windier, Gran Ziloffers a wonderful sheltered day with plenty of relaxation and a delicious BBQ. ☀️🍖 We are leaving with so many beautiful memories and truly hope that one day we will return. Mersi bokou, Zilwa family!❤️ Thank you to the entire Zilwa team for making our stay so wonderful, for your warmth, your hospitality and for making us feel like part of the family.
