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.

The service was very biased. Foreigners were being treated better than Mauritians. Most of the staffs were very rude.

We’ve just returned from a fantastic stay at Zilwa Attitude. I would highly recommend for families and adults alike. The staff were very welcoming. Particular favourite was the Mauritian restaurant which stood out in terms of both food and service. The kids club was excellent, proving a wide range or activities to keep the little ones entertained between 9am and 9pm. The evening entertainment was great too. Pilates classes were my favourite. I wish there were more of them throughout the week. The housekeeping team were very attentive and looked after our room making sure we had all we needed. The check out process was smooth and having the option to book a shower before departure was very welcome. We have really enjoyed the Spa. I had one of the best deep tissue sports massages ever. I particularly liked the eco touches and valued that the property was BCorp certified. There were no single use plastics, even the bin liners were made of fabric. It’s so great to be able to stay in a hotel that cares about the environment and shares our values. We will definitely be back. Read less

We had such an amazing stay at Zilwa Attitude and honestly didn’t want to leave. We had no complains we found everything to be 10/10. The views are absolutely breathtaking and you really feel how special the location is from the moment you arrive. The hotel is beautifully laid out and there’s so much to do, whether you want to relax or keep busy with the many activities on offer for free by the hotel. What really made our stay though were the staff. Everyone was so warm, friendly and genuinely happy to help and there were always plenty of staff around which made everything feel easy and relaxed. It created such a welcoming atmosphere and made us feel very well looked after every moment of the day. One of the highlights was the island BBQ, which felt like a real treat and a unique experience. The food throughout our stay was incredible, with so much choice and consistently high quality. Overall, Zilwa Attitude exceeded our expectations in every way. It felt relaxed, welcoming and special all at once, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Mauritius. If you’re going as well, please always try feed and help the stray cats and animals in the country. Read less

The staff at the kids club were super friendly and our girls loved them. The staff at the bar were super friendly and fantastic customer service: these are the stars: Adesh, Visham, Lensley, Veervan, Ayush, Danveer. Azaghen at the main restaurant was fantastic with great customer service and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great breakfast and dinner. Staff at kids club were awesome: Gaëlle, Cedra and the girl with glasses (so sorry I forgot your name) We will definitely return to this hotel - love the concept and the views from when you enter on coin de mire island is breathtaking.
