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.

Today was the final day of our stay at Hotel Zilwa Attitude in Mauritius, and we enjoyed every single moment. The staff does everything in their power to make you feel right at home immediately, and they succeed brilliantly. The family feeling you experience starts the second you step out of the taxi. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the entire hotel team—not only for their great care, but also for their constant helpfulness and endless smiles. ​A special thank you goes to the team at restaurant Kot Nou. The restaurant serves authentic Mauritian dishes in a super cozy setting. The team, led by manager Nitish and supervisor Mohin, makes sure you enter as if you were coming into their own home. Together with Bibek, Mohin ensures service that is not only smooth and attentive, but always delivered with a warm smile. The food is absolutely delicious—hats off to chefs Shristy and Vick! ​We enjoyed our visits to Kot Nou so much that we decided to end our trip right here. Kot Nou doesn't just mean "our home"—it truly feels like a home for every guest at the hotel. A massive thank you to each and every one of you for making our holiday unforgettable! Read less

We had the absolute best experience at the Zilwa Attitude, stunning hotel, beautiful beaches, amazing rooms. The staff are soooo helpful, friendly and cannot do enough for you to make your holiday truly special. Fantastic selection of restaurants all serving yummy food. We had some room and technical issues but these were dealt with immediately and sorted so there was no impact on our holiday. A special thank you to Ashley, Kevin, Vikram and Babita for making our honeymoon amazing but tbh all the staff were incredible. The little island is a real treat and you feel like you’ve had a proper day out, again the bbq food there is excellent. Mr Dev provided us with taxi service to both the festival and Port Louis, he was so professional and interesting, telling us all about island life. We also spent a lovely evening with Danielle and Pascal’s family experiencing a traditional evening with this wonderful family, a real treat. Read less
