Facing five islands on the north coast of Mauritius, the 4* Zilwa Attitude is one of a kind. In Creole, Zilwa means islander, and that is what this hotel is all about. Experiences are designed to immerse guests in island life, from sunrise pirogue trips to barbecues on the private island of Gran Zil.
The architecture is bursting with Mauritian soul, taking inspiration from traditional homes and old seaside bungalows found on the island. And the panoramic ocean views are staggering.
The 214 rooms each have their own personality, with different room types to satisfy all guests, from honeymooners to families. Dining here is a real highlight. There are seven restaurants offering Creole, Indian, Sino-Mauritian or European cuisine, as well as a street food cart and two bars.
For children, there are island treasure hunts and the Ayo le Dodo kids’ club, which has its own restored boat in the play area. And watersports fans can try paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkelling and canoe trips on the lagoon.
Zilwa Attitude is part of Attitude Hotels’ Positive Impact movement, creating a future where travel benefits all. Because of the hotel’s continued efforts to care for the local community, protect the environment and support the local economy, Zilwa Attitude has been awarded a Travelife Gold certification. There is no singleuse plastic in the guest journey and supplies and produce are local, wherever possible. The hotel has also its own Bulk Shop, where guests can help themselves to tea and coffee for their room in reusable glass jars.
