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.

This being our 3rd time to Mauritius, we appreciate there is a lot of competition / options. If it was your first time to Mauritius, I can see why guests could see this as ‘5 star’ quality.

This being our 3rd time to Mauritius, we appreciate there is a lot of competition / options. If it was your first time to Mauritius, I can see why guests could see this as ‘5 star’ quality. The entrance view is stunning and overall layout is impressive. However, the variety of food (especially in the buffet), quality of amenities in the rooms & ‘going the extra mile’ as a service could be improved. Next to no ‘complimentary’ services, all inclusive doesn’t cover everything (smoothie bar, ice creams etc). Overall good experience, but with some attention and extra thought, could be a special place. Read less

My stay at zilwa attitude was an absolute delight. The hotel’s peaceful setting and welcoming atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a memorable holiday specially i got room 3207 that was directly access to the beach and near the bar I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the roommaid who looked after my room. Her dedication and care were evident every day—the room was always immaculately clean, beautifully arranged, and refreshed with thoughtful touches that made me feel truly at home. Her kindness and professionalism added warmth to my experience, and I felt genuinely well cared for throughout my stay and also the barman Aniket at pirogue bar always serving with smile and positive attitude big thanks to him It is staff members like him who embody the spirit of hospitality and elevate the guest experience. Please pass on my heartfelt thanks for his excellent service. I will gladly recommende zilwa attitude to others and look forward to returning again soon. Read less

We loved the environment at Zilwa — beautiful setting, friendly staff, and great cocktails. However, the room was not as beautiful as expected, and a requested birthday cake was not placed in the room. We were also not informed that sports activities need to be booked one day in advance, so we were unable to do the glass-bottom boat. Overall, we… Read more
