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.

We have just returned from one of the best staycations of our life and are already missing the wonderful vibes of Zilwa Attitude’s Family. We have been to almost all the hotels of the “Attitude Group” and we can genuinely say that Zilwa stands out as the most outstanding in terms of Service, Stunning view, Natural beauty and above all, the friendliness of its staff. I’m not sure this review will be enough to mention every staff member who contributed to making our stay so perfect and enjoyable but I will try my best. We were a group of 11 people (4 rooms) on the all-inclusive package which is definitely the best option to fully enjoy everything the hotel has to offer. First of all, the welcome was exceptional, warmly delivered by the reception team (Dylan, Nawfal, Diksha, Vikram and Noorina) and our luggage was carefully being handled with a smile by Michael. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were truly extraordinary experiences, thanks to the entire F&B team, whose dedication and attention made every meal memorable., namely, Veronique, Sachi, Madhu Sudan & Avinash. Thank you Diksha (Housekeeping Team) for keeping our rooms neat and clean while ensuring a very pleasant smile which is signature of Zilwa. As for the activities which are proposed by Hotel, the Boathouse team (Olivier, Daniel, Jah Mike) did a very great job in ensuring that we are not bored and the team is very courteous and helpful. A small shout out to Mr. Pratab from the “Serviette de Plage” kiosk and Atifa from "Mini Bar Shop" who are always smiling and cordial while delivering their duties. The Entertainement team was also outstanding, special thanks to Deshnee and Kevin Last but not the least, the Bar Team are the real backbone of this hotel. A big thanks to the whole team (Thomas, Ayush, Banoo, Lensley) Special highlight to Jonathan, Satyam, Arvind & Neeraj who are true gems of this Hotel. A big thanks to Daniel Celestin from the Reservation Team who did a splendid job in helping us with our booking and also who promptly assisted us with all our queries. I sincerely apologize for the name that I have missed. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the entire Zilwa Attitude family for making our stay such a memorable one. Please keep up the amazing work you truly excel at what you do. We will definitely be returning, as this experience felt far too short, and leaving Zilwa Attitude was not easy for any of us. "Ce n'est qu'un Au Revoir" With sincere thanks, The Rostone Family (Rooms 1213, 1214, 1222 & 1406) Read less

Our stay at Zilwa Attitude in Mauritius was truly exceptional. From the very first moment, the hotel impresses with its beautiful, lush greenery and well-maintained surroundings, creating a wonderful tropical atmosphere. The entire property is very clean, carefully looked after, and every detail is thoughtfully designed. The overall atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and very welcoming, while everything is maintained at a high standard. It’s the perfect place to truly unwind and enjoy the unique spirit of the island. Special recognition goes to the staff — professional, friendly, and always willing to help. In particular, I would like to praise the bar team — incredibly kind, engaging, and attentive people who create a fantastic atmosphere and make you want to come back every day. [ Satyam, Jim, Ayush, Jonatan, Nabaraj💛] This is definitely a place worth recommending — perfect for both relaxation and unforgettable holidays. I would happily return!

We enjoyed a fantastic honeymoon at Zilwa Attitude staying for a very memorable 12 nights. Upon arrival the welcome is five star and then when first entering the hotel you get the wow factor with the view that is exactly as pictures show. Rooms are spacious and have a great layout. Bed very comfortable and a lovely balcony (we had a garden/partial sea view). Restaurants are all top class, our favourite was Lor Disab on the beach. Manao (Thai) & Tadka (Indian) were also very good. The Mauritian and Buffet we only visited once but both were nice. Breakfast was to a high standard with eggs being cooked to order. Lots of options. A must is Grand Zil (island bbq) which is an experience and the food is delicious. Mixed with beer and fantastic Rum cocktails it’s a few hours very well spent in glorious surroundings. The staff make this place though, always very friendly with a smile and nothing is too much trouble. There are too many to name but the following excelled. Grand Zil Roven & Mike Beach Bar Lensley, Dursun, Nadish & Ashley Lor Disab Ashley & Sharmeen Main Bar Jonathon, Ayush & Satyam Thank you to everyone at Zilwa for making it such a special honeymoon and really hope we can return again.
