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.

We stayed here in November 2025. It was incredible. The view was even better than the pictures and took our breath away when we entered the hotel. It was well worth the 12 hr flight and long taxi ride! We went with out 1 year old. The hotel and staff were so accommodating having a baby bath ready for us in the room and everything set up for us. Everything was very clean and tidy and we were well looked after. The spa was great. There is a private island which is stunning. We did a small snorkle trip which was perfect for us with the baby. The baby pool had a shade canopy over it which is brilliant. The FOOD was DELICIOUS! Best all-inclusive hotel food we ever had. The indian restaurant was our favourite. Cannot wait to revisit this hotel. The pools were delightful. They were all freindly to the stray dogs on sight and it was nice to see how the locals that worked in the hotel treated these strays who were very happy to lay on the sand. Read less
