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.

Our stay at Zilwa Attitude was wonderful, and one of the main reasons was Nitish from the restaurant team. From the very first day, he welcomed us with genuine warmth, professionalism, and an infectious smile. Every single day, he made sure everything was perfect, always taking the time to check if we were enjoying our meals and if there was anything else he could do for us. His attention to detail and sincere care for every guest are truly remarkable. What makes Nitish so special is that you can immediately feel that he genuinely enjoys making people happy. His favourite phrase, “When you’re happy, I’m happy,” perfectly reflects the way he treats every guest. These are not just words—he lives by them every single day. Whether the restaurant was busy or quiet, Nitish always remained attentive, kind, and incredibly professional. He remembered our preferences, anticipated our needs, and made every dining experience feel personal and special. His positive energy and genuine dedication never went unnoticed. People like Nitish are the reason guests leave Zilwa Attitude with unforgettable memories and look forward to returning. He is a true credit to the restaurant team and deserves the highest recognition for his outstanding service. Thank you, Nitish, for making every meal such a pleasure. We will always remember your kindness, your smile, and your wonderful motto: “When you’re happy, I’m happy.” We hope to see you again on our next visit to Mauritius! Read less
