Lagoon Attitude is a 4-star, adults-only hotel on the lagoon at Anse La Raie, on the quiet north coast of Mauritius.

There are 182 rooms across five categories, all for two adults, finished in whites, indigos and sea blues, with rattan, wood and a furnished terrace or balcony. Couple Rooms sit in the gardens, Couple Poolside Rooms look towards the pool, and Couple Seafront Rooms catch glimpses of the lagoon from the balcony. The 13 Suites, on the ground floor among the palms, add an outdoor bathtub, and the Whirlpool Suites have a jacuzzi on the terrace, looking out to the water.
Dining has a strong Mauritian accent and plenty of variety for an adults-only hotel. There are five restaurants: Le Bénitier for the main local and international buffet, Coral for Mauritian and Mediterranean seafood, Lemongrass for Asian cooking, Kot Nou for shared Mauritian dishes, and Taba-J for street food by the lagoon. Seabreeze, Wave and Coral Bar look after drinks through the day, with a juice bar on the beach and Teabaz for a self-service cup of tea. From half board, the Dine Around lets guests eat across a choice of four restaurants at no extra cost.
Three outdoor pools sit between the gardens and the lagoon, and Spa POZ is tucked into the greenery for treatments with Mauritian Indika products. Complimentary water sports include kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling, glass-bottom boat trips, pedal boats, windsurfing and aquagym, and there are two padel courts and a floodlit tennis court on land. The Marine Discovery Centre and a snorkelling trail are a distinctive part of the stay, and Ekol'O, a floating education platform, goes out on the lagoon at extra cost. Anse La Raie is also a well-known kitesurfing area, with kiting and diving available nearby on request.
Overall, Lagoon Attitude is a relaxed, 4-star choice for couples and groups of friends who want an adults-only stay on the northern lagoon, with Mauritian-accented dining, plenty of time on the water and Grand Baie about ten minutes away.
The whole hotel is reserved for guests aged 18 and over, so the mood is naturally suited to couples and groups of friends. Couple Seafront Rooms and the Whirlpool Suites are the rooms that sit closest to the lagoon, with the Suites adding an outdoor bathtub and a French press for local coffee. Seabreeze looks out over the pool and the water for a long sundowner, Coral and Lemongrass make a more special dinner, and a Like a Local dinner with a Mauritian family can be arranged during the stay.
Spa POZ sits in the gardens, with four massage rooms (one single and three double), a steam room, and a beauty and hairdressing area, using handmade Indika products made in Mauritius. It is open from 9.00am to 8.00pm daily, and treatments are at extra cost. Guests on the All-In All-Out package for five nights or more receive 20% off the first massage booked between 9.00am and 5.00pm.
Complimentary water sports include kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling, glass-bottom boat trips, pedal boats, windsurfing and aquagym, from the boat house on the lagoon (typically 9.00am to 6.00pm in summer, and to 5.00pm in winter). There is a snorkelling trail in the protected area in front of the hotel, weather permitting, booked at the boat house. At a charge there are Ekol'O trips on the lagoon, including a sunset outing and a full day with a stop at Îlot Bernache and a barbecue lunch, PADI diving, catamaran excursions, and kitesurfing nearby on request.
On land, there are two padel courts, a floodlit tennis court, beach volleyball, pétanque, circuit training, table tennis, pickleball, a gym, board games and billiards. Yoga and pilates are also part of the programme. Live music typically runs five evenings a week, with a DJ night twice a week. Bicycles and scooters are at extra cost, through an external provider.
Lagoon Attitude is at Anse La Raie, on the north coast of Mauritius, facing a wide lagoon. It is about ten minutes from Grand Baie and eight minutes from Cap Malheureux, and around an hour and a quarter from Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport. Sister hotel Zilwa Attitude sits a little further along the northern lagoon at Calodyne.
