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.

Arriving at Zilwa, we were greeted by the wonderful views just like a background with filters. Checkin was efficient , with a refreshing drink and a friendly lady. Room did not disappoint us and it was a walking distance of 2 minutes from the main activity area, the restaurant and bar. Food at the buffet has been consistent however, if you are running late to the dinning area, some of the dish might be over. The a la cartes exceeded our expectations. We had some issues at the beginning where we voiced out. However it was treated quickly and very efficiently. We had a meeting with Yash, one of the head of food and beverage, where he promised to take things in his hand and boom our issues were sorted on the same day. The main highlights is main bar, sirokan where things are above any 5 stars. We were just shocked to see the selections of beverages, from the Macallan to Luxury vodkas. Cocktails have been consistently amazing. The bar staff works in a coordination, one would take the order, and the other would just bring it to your table, you might sit there to watch that synchronization with a great music at the back. Arvind the bar head, would approach your table to check if everything is going fine. Staff has been very helpful and connected. After some days, they shall recognize your orders. There are quite some names; Starting from Yash whose input upgraded our perception, Arvind, Preetam, Ashley, Nitai, Varsha, Jovany, Adesh, Husna and Nishta. We are trying to already book our next vacation at Zilwa. See you soon. J.W Read less
