Zilwa Attitude

Our stay at Zilwa was simply mind-blowing from start to finish. The food was exceptional, the service was outstanding, and the drinks were absolutely amazing. 🍸🍹 We were there to celebrate a birthday, and I can honestly say this place has it all. A heartfelt thank you to Jovany, Vikram, and Jennyfer for making our stay so special with your warm hospitality and excellent service. And if you're looking for the best cocktails (or simply want to have a great time), make sure to visit Satyam at the bar—he's the man! His cocktails are unforgettable. Thank you for making our celebration so memorable. We will definitely be coming back! Room 3221

We have just returned home after spending two wonderful weeks at Zilwa Attitude (18 June – 2 July), and we can honestly say that this has been one of our best holiday experiences. The resort is beautiful, with lovely beaches, several pools, excellent restaurants and a relaxed atmosphere. Everything was spotless throughout our stay. However, what truly made this holiday so special was not the buildings or the surroundings – it was the people. The staff created an atmosphere that made us feel genuinely welcome every single day. Food was a very important part of this holiday for us, and Zilwa exceeded all our expectations. Our favourite restaurant was Lor Disab. The quality of the food was exceptional, and the setting right by the beach made every dinner feel special. Chef Arvin is clearly passionate about quality ingredients, attention to detail and perfectly prepared food. We both love food and wine and are probably more demanding than the average guests, yet one of the very best steaks we have ever eaten was served here. We also enjoyed both the Lobster Lovers and Meat Lovers dinners on the beach, and they were simply outstanding. Those evenings became some of the highlights of our holiday. We also had wonderful experiences at Manao and Tadka. The Thai food at Manao was excellent, and Chef Woody and Adarsh made every visit enjoyable. Adarsh's surprisingly extensive knowledge of Norwegian football also led to some great conversations! Tadka impressed us with authentic flavours and consistently delicious food. What impressed us most throughout the resort was the consistently outstanding service. Sharmeen, Ashley, Sairaj, Kumar, Rajiv, Shetty and Arvind all made us feel genuinely cared for with their professionalism, friendliness and attention to detail. Around the pool and beach, Danvir and Sunraj always greeted us with a smile and looked after guests with great care. A special thank you goes to Nitish. Although he had only recently joined the hotel, he displayed remarkable professionalism and initiative. During our stay there was one starter at Kot Nou we had hoped to try, but unfortunately the restaurant had not received the fish required for the dish. Without us asking, Nitish coordinated with the restaurant manager and made sure we were able to taste it before leaving Mauritius. That level of care says everything about his commitment to guest satisfaction. We also enjoyed the spa, where the treatments were of a very high standard and the staff were both welcoming and highly skilled. The activities added another dimension to our stay. Miguel's cycling tour through the local village was a memorable experience, and lunch at Gran Zil was excellent. We also joined the hotel's catamaran excursion, which we can highly recommend. The crew created such a fun and relaxed atmosphere that, by the end of the trip, almost everyone on board was dancing together. The barbecue lunch was excellent as well. Finally, we would like to thank the entire Guest Experience and Service Team, who were always happy to help with restaurant reservations, recommendations and any questions we had during our stay. There are many beautiful resorts around the world, but what makes guests return is the people. Zilwa Attitude has assembled an exceptional team of people who genuinely care about creating memorable experiences for their guests. Thank you to everyone who made our holiday so special. We sincerely hope to return one day.

My husband Anthony, our daughter Mia, and I (Claire) have just returned from a magical 10-night stay at Zilwa Attitude at the end of June, and we cannot recommend this incredible hotel enough! We visited slightly out of season, and while the staff kindly suggested returning in November for the super hot weather, we found the late-twenties temperature absolutely perfect for us. The occasional light rainfall was even a welcomed, refreshing break. We are already planning our return for 2027 or 2028 and simply cannot wait to go back! Beautiful, Spacious Rooms & Impeccable ServiceOur room was stunning, spacious, and filled with local charm, including beautiful cultural riddles painted on the walls. The shower was amazing, and the patio—complete with a relaxing swing and loungers—overlooked the most luscious gardens.The service here is next-level. We were welcomed on arrival with delicious handmade macarons. A massive, heartfelt thank you goes to our incredible housekeeper, Manoj. We frequently returned to a spotlessly clean room, often surprised with gorgeous fresh flowers and creative towel art.A Private Island ParadiseOne of the absolute highlights of Zilwa Attitude is that it has its own private island. Attached to it is a second, even tinier island. At one point, I was the only person standing on it—a truly surreal, peaceful moment! The waters surrounding it are crystal clear, with dozens of tiny fish swimming right around your feet. Outstanding Activities & Boat House Crew Mattchou and Wayne at the boat house are the sweetest, friendliest people you will ever meet! They always had the biggest smiles, and nothing was ever too much trouble. They offered free private trips to the hotel's island, shared fascinating stories about Mauritian culture, and happily sorted us out with kayaks, pedalos, paddleboards, and sailboarding. They truly made my daughter Mia's trip unforgettable. Anthony and I also booked the sunrise boat trip, which was heavenly and an absolute highlight of our holiday.An Incredible Team That Feels Like FamilyThe bar staff kept our glasses full with the most amazing cocktails. A special mention must go to Arvind and Suraj, who made us feel exactly like family. They always remembered our names, wore massive smiles, and treated Mia like an absolute princess.In fact, the entire team went so far above and beyond. We want to give a massive thank you to Husna, Catherine, Mellissa, Hemant, Nitish, Dursun, Paul, Danny, Sashi, Tatyana, Shetty, Shubham, Mitish, Zalfah, and Mohun, alongside the reception staff, porters, and reservations team. There are many more whose names we have forgotten, but whose incredible service we will absolutely never forget.Incredible Dining & EntertainmentWith so many restaurants on-site, you can always find something tasty to eat. We absolutely loved the Indian, Thai, and central pizza/sandwich restaurants. However, the absolute best of the best was the private lobster dinner we booked—OMG, it was sensational! While the main buffet offered a massive multitude of dishes, a few things weren't quite to my personal taste, but my husband Anthony thoroughly enjoyed every single morsel!The hotel also keeps you entertained with a fantastic variety of activities throughout the day, which we found super easy to track using the schedules on the hotel app.Thank you to everyone at Zilwa Attitude for giving the three of us memories that will last a lifetime. See you all again in 2027/2028!

Lovely experience, relaxed atmosphere. Warm welcome and excellent service from all staffs. Special thanks to Nitish in Karaye restaurant for his warm welcome and service. Great food served in all the restaurants, especially on the island next to the hotel. Will surely come back 🙂

Resort is so beautiful and mesmerising. Every activity we did there were amazingly planned! Big shoutout to Mr. Nitish & Mr. Stephan for making our stay comfortable. It is very peaceful there. Rooms are also spacious. Worth every penny!
