Overview

Zilwa Attitude is an upmarket beachfront resort situated on the sheltered north coast of Mauritius. An hour from the airport and ten minutes’ drive from the stunning beaches of Grande Baie, this all-inclusive resort sits in a beautiful setting in a sheltered bay, enjoying breath-taking views of the Indian Ocean, Coin de Mire and the nearby northern islands. The property offers 214 contemporary rooms, four pools, five restaurants, and two bars, plus numerous activities. Zilwa Attitude will appeal to travellers seeking a relaxing beach holiday in a wonderfully scenic location.

The resort combines contemporary and Mauritian architecture featuring wooden floors, thatched roofs, and rustic textured walls. Guests have a choice of five restaurants and menus varying between Creole, Asian, Indian, and European cuisine. There are two bars, one housed rather charmingly on the beach in a traditional fishing boat, a popular sundowner destination. The resort has a gift shop, gym, and tranquil spa, plus a floodlit tennis court, no fewer than three swimming pools, and a children’s pool. Evening entertainment is provided on a regular basis. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in guest rooms and communal areas.

A host of activities includes boules, volleyball, table tennis and tennis (for which a ball hire charge applies). Bicycle hire is available, and a great way to explore the local area. Water based activities include kayaking, snorkelling, wind surfing, paddle boarding, and glass bottom boat excursions. Kite surfing, diving, and sea fishing are also available locally, subject to additional cost. Private island excursions and cultural visits can also be arranged.

The accommodation comprises 214 spacious beach bungalows and rooms, blending local, traditional materials with clean lines and a contemporary finish. Rooms vary in size from superior to the larger deluxe, whilst several even larger suites benefit from separate lounge areas. All units have a double or twin beds and a contemporary ensuite bathroom with separate WC and shower. Each room is equipped with Wi-Fi, satellite TV, a minibar, hot drink facilities, fans, and air conditioning and all have a balcony or terrace with seating and views of the beach or garden. Some of the beachfront suites boast a lovely private outdoor Jacuzzi on the terrace.

Children of all ages are warmly welcome. The resort’s standard family rooms can accommodate up to two adults and one child, with connecting rooms available upon request. Larger, deluxe family rooms sleep up to two adults and two children and are ideal for families or groups. Each of these spacious units comes with a double and a twin bedroom, two ensuite bathrooms and a generously sized outdoor terrace or balcony. Children under 12 stay free of charge when sharing with adults. The resort runs a daily kids club for 3 to 12 year olds, with activities including pool fun and games, arts and crafts, boat trips and treasure hunts, along with supervised mealtimes. A baby changing and feeding room is available throughout the day, complete with equipment including changing mats and sterilizers. Babysitting can also be arranged, subject to additional cost, and parents are reminded to ensure that their children remain under constant adult supervision.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
