    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’ve just returned from a wonderful 10 night break at Zilwa Attitude. This was our first time in Mauritius and we loved the hotel and all the facilities. We initially booked Zilwa due to the wide variety of restaurants included within the all inclusive package. We were blown away. The food was wonderful and varied. We enjoyed the lunch bbq on the hotel-owned island, a short boat trip away. A quick mention also to Dooshita from the Indian restaurant, you looked after us during our stay and was always smiling! Whilst we were there, we paid for a catamaran trip (put on for hotel guests) for my husband’s birthday. It was amazing! Thank you to Johnson and David for making it a memorable day – good food, music and constant drinks 😊 We also enjoyed the free daily snorkeling trips and the vast amount of activities included in the resort – paddleboarding, pat and ball for the beach, aqua gym… the list is endless. The bar service at Sirokann Bar in the evenings were wonderful. We enjoyed sitting at the bar each night and our drinks were topped up without asking! The barmen learnt our favourite drinks and we had a laugh with them. Big shout out to Anish and Satyam – you made us very welcome and surprised us with amazing cocktails throughout our stay! A couple of times we hired Victor (Bhai Vijay Victor Persand, find him on the Guests of Zilwa Facebook page) as our personal taxi driver. Victor is an official taxi driver for the hotel. Victor took us around the island for the day, took us to the botanical garden, mont choisy beach, Cap Malheureux and the capital Port Louis, to look around the food markets and try some street food. We would highly recommend Victor if you are looking for a knowledgeable and reliable taxi driver during your stay at Zilwa. The car is large and had great air con! We would highly recommend Zilwa for your stay in Mauritius, we will certainly be back to this resort in the near future. Read less

    Our holiday was Jan26th to Feb6th 2025. All comments and opinions are our own. We are pleased we made a great decision to stay at the Zilwa Attitude Calodyne. The whole experience was first class from start to finish. The hotel offered everything we needed, the room was fine ,comfortable clean and well maintained and close to the beach and situated within easy reach of the main hotel and bars and restaurants. The rooms are with thatched roofs and set in well kept grounds are in keeping with the surroundings of the island . We felt completely relaxed after a day or so ,acclimatised after a long flight. The food was excellent, the main buffet complimented by the Thai, Indian and Mauritian speciality restaurants with the bars at the beach and in the main reception area offering more than enough variety of beers wines and cocktails. We wanted to relax and not have to work or think too hard to enjoy our holiday. That’s exactly what happened. The beach sun beds were set up just in front of gently lapping waves and the water was warm and inviting. We enjoyed the lunch time bbq on the adjacent island to the Zilwa and poolside was also great , the beds comfortable and plenty. We had a very enjoyable Spa experience which we found well priced and again very relaxing. Overall simply no complaints, the staff too many to name treat us with kindness and excellent hospitality. The easy going nature and laid back but helpful nature of the staff contributed to the whole package. Each staff member made us feel welcome and that’s all you want. A great holiday experience and if the opportunity arose on the future we would not hesitate to go back. Thank you to all connected with the Hotel and for making our holiday such an enjoyable one.
