An escape to Zilwa Attitude along with your family will expose you to wonders that will leave you in awe. With no less than four beaches - ribbons of sugar white sand with breathtaking views of nearby islands - your stay on the northernmost tip of the island will delight travellers of all ages. The resort exudes Mauritian character and authenticity, which is reflected in its very name, Zilwa, which means islander in Creole. Whether it is learning to speak Creole, the native tongue, having dinner at the locals or meandering through the bustling colorful markets, you will certainly feel like an islander. Here, in this slice of paradise, time seems to have come to a stop.
Zilwa Attitude transports you to the heart of Mauritius the moment you step inside the lobby. The weathered Coin de Mire rock provides the backdrop for a funky resort that appeals to families, solo travelers and honeymooners, eager to discover the Mauritian art de vivre.
All 214 rooms are infused with the Mauritian way of living and a dash of contemporary elegance. In proper “rustic-chic” fashion, the sea-facing rooms are inspired by local bord de mer seaside bungalows: thatched-roofs, wax-coated béton ciré floors, rattan furniture and vibrant colors borrowed from the Mauritian flag. As part of their 100% Mauritian concept, the amenities feature pieces created by local artists and craftsmen; while stenciled Creole sayings adorn the walls and traditional “savate Dodo” flip flops make for the perfect room gift.
Zilwa Attitude offers privileged seclusion with two privately-owned islets a short boat-ride away from the shore: Gran Zil and Ti Zil offer a front-row seat at sunset hour, when the sky is set ablaze and the calm waters turns orangey-gold.
The cuisine at Zilwa is deeply rooted in the Mauritian heritage and consists of a true “Metisaz” blending Creole, Indian, European and Asian cuisines. While Taba J invites guests to feast on street food like faratas and dholl puris, Karay celebrates contemporary Mauritian food. Lor Disab, set in a fisherman’s boat, is the ideal spot to unwind, cocktail in hand and feet in the sand. The attentive and caring personnel is reason enough to return to Zilwa.
