Attitude Hotels: the authentic way to see Mauritius

We've partnered with Attitude Hotels for over 10 years and we love their unique ethos, inspiring you to immerse yourself in island life and experience a holiday that has a positive effect on the local community and environment. Here are our top reasons to choose an Attitude Hotel when holidaying on Mauritius’ sunny shores.

Dreamy locations

Every Attitude Hotel has a prized position on the island, each with a different perspective on paradise. Lagoon Attitude, as the name suggests, sits beside the turquoise waters of Anse la Raie lagoon, while Tropical Attitude gazes across the east-coast lagoon towards Ile aux Cerfs. The Ravenala Attitude is tucked between the Citron River and Turtle Bay, offering watersports in both the river and ocean. Meanwhile, the captivating views from Zilwa Attitude steal the spotlight, with vistas sweeping across to the distinctive silhouette of Coin De Mire island.

Dining with a difference

Although restaurants vary between each resort, from seafood and sushi to Italian and Japanese, guests staying on half board or above can make the most of Attitude's dine-around concept, alongside a handful of signature culinary experiences. Kot Nou serves up homemade Mauritian food and at the colourful Taba J food truck, taste street food specials such as rotis and spice-laden curries washed down with an icy Alouda. Sunrise Attitude has a focus on fresh vegan-friendly cuisine and at The Ravenala Attitude, embark on a culinary food tour with nine diverse restaurants to explore.

As an island with a rich tea-growing heritage, Attitude honours the Mauritian’s passion for a good brew. In each resort, you'll find the self-service tea bar, Teabaz, where you can sample uplifting infusions, especially the local favourite, Vanilla tea. If you prefer a refreshment with more of a kick, swing by the bar and try the new lychee wine – just ask for a ‘Funky Parrot’.

Unique rooms and suites

Each Attitude hotel carries the islander vibes into its rustic chic rooms and suites. Set against a stunning backdrop of Belle Mare beach, adults-only Sunrise Attitude has gorgeous couples swim-up rooms granting direct access to the pool. The Ravenala Attitude is an all-suite hotel with spacious family rooms as well as exclusive seafront suites. And honeymooners can hideaway in the romantic Whirlpool Suites at Lagoon Attitude, adorned in soft shades of cocoa and pink and featuring a bubbly tub on the deck with views of the lagoon.

‘Otentik’ experiences

Each resort's Otentik (authentic) experiences help you uncover the real Mauritius. Dine with a local family in their home, shake your tailfeather during a traditional Sega dance or get out and about with the Otentik Discovery app, which takes you off the beaten track to uncover the island's hidden gems.

Stay at Sunrise Attitude and get your creative juices flowing with fun workshops led by Mauritian artists. Try your hand at pottery, paint your own watercolour masterpiece or unwind with Lavwa Tambour, a therapeutic practice that harnesses the power of music and voice.

Choose your resort style

Whether you're travelling with the tribe for family fun or ramping up the romance on a sun-soaked honeymoon, there's an Attitude hotel to match. Friday Attitude is made for families, with sandcastle competitions, marshmallow roasting and plenty to keep younger kids happily occupied. Travelling as a couple? There are adult-only options in the mix too. Tropical Attitude is small, intimate and right on the water, with every room facing the sea. Lagoon Attitude has a lively after-hours buzz and Sunrise Attitude sets the scene for serenity – it’s on Belle Mare, one of the most beautiful beaches in Mauritius.

Holidays with a positive impact

Attitude Hotels is a certified B Corp and all its hotels are Travelife Gold certified too, recognising their commitment to more responsible tourism. You'll feel their eco-friendly efforts throughout your stay; you won't find any single-use plastics, all waste is recycled, and solar power is used where possible. Their commitment to supporting the island community is also impressive; restaurant dishes are made using locally sourced ingredients and rooms are decorated with artwork and furniture created by Mauritian artisans.

The Indian Ocean graces the doorstep of every Attitude hotel and they’re passionate about taking care of it. At the Marine Discovery Centre at Lagoon Attitude, you can chat with the resident marine biologists about ongoing conservation projects such as beach clean-ups and monitoring ocean life. There's also Ekol'o, a repurposed catamaran turned floating marine education and exploration centre, where certified marine eco-guides take guests out into the lagoon and along a dedicated snorkelling trail. To dive deeper into the natural world, visit their mangrove nursery or marvel at the underwater world during a glass bottom boat tour.

Embrace the art of 'Kass enn ti poz’

The expression 'Kass enn ti poz,' is often heard among Mauritians, which means 'take a little break.' Spa POZ is the place to do just that. Using 100% natural products, their therapies draw inspiration from ancient practices that their ‘gran dimoune’ (elders) brought from China, Africa and India. The signature Gran Mama massage stands out, utilising the essence of Moringa Oil, geranium, and noom leaves for an indulgent experience. And the salt hammam at Sunrise Attitude will leave your skin feeling silky soft. Stock up on spa goodies to take home, and you're not only investing in your wellbeing but also in nearby communities – Attitude Hotels donates 5% of the sale to the Green Attitude Foundation.
