Spa Attitude invites its guests to unwind and experience genuine Mauritian relaxation and self-care. Massages, body care and facials are available at the Spa, so why not treat yourself and immerse yourself in the ultimate relaxation experience? The Spa Attitude care rituals are based on the natural elements of Mauritius: its soil, its sea, its sun and its plants. The Spa Family Members look after the guests very personally, tailoring their treatments according to their wishes, needs and emotions, all accompanied by Mauritian nature, full of bright colours, soft sounds and exotic smells.

Spa Attitude offers a complete range of massages, body care and facials together with its four signature treatments: Earth Attitude, Sea Attitude, Sun Attitude and Flora Attitude. Natural products and essential oils are used in all beauty treatments. The Spa Attitude is open daily from 11:00 to 19:00. It has three treatment rooms, two single and one double. Please book your massages and treatments at the hotel reception.

Being an active player of positive development in Mauritius, Attitude launched ‘Positive Impact’, a movement intended to bring together customers, tourism partners, and more generally all the inhabitants of the island around a model of sustainable and reasoned development. Attitude Hotels have put the environment, Mauritian economy and communities at the heart of everything they do. A stay at one of Attitude hotels can be a chilled-out beach holiday – but also lead to a cleaner ocean, support for local families and empower people to develop their talents.

For over 10 years, Attitude Hotels have been working on both environmental and community projects. The aim for ethical and responsible eco practices have led to action and change already. Attitude Hotels have prioritised buying and investing in local businesses; found ways to reduce its negative impact on the environment; and developed ways Attitude Hotels benefits the local communities.

Since December 2017, all Attitude Hotels have received the Travelife Gold Award, a program honouring their ongoing efforts in environmental and social responsibility as well as Green Attitude Foundation’s initiatives: water conservation, commitment to local communities and the Otentik Attitude experiences that value local traditions and craftsmanship. As a certified Travelife Gold member, Attitude Hotels are committed to an environmental approach to reduce the consumption and use of plastic. As from now, polluting plastic straws will be replaced by biodegradable straws in all bars and restaurants, only on request and for cocktails requiring one. Guests sign symbolically a charter on arrival, which lists a series of responsible gestures Attitude Hotels would like them to be part of.

All Attitude hotels have a zero single-use plastic policy for guests, so you’ll get a reusable water bottle on arrival. Visit the hotel’s Bulk Shop and help yourself to coffee, tea and sugar for your room; use the free mineral suntan lotion that’s kind to coral; and our beautiful interior design touches are often made from up-cycled materials.

Staying at Attitude Hotels it’s helping suppressing more than 3 600 000 single-use plastic items including:

• 975 000 plastic bottles replaced by aluminium flasks
• 85 000 bathroom single-use plastic amenities replaced by dispensers
• 1 040 000 Individual sachets of sugar and coffee with the self-service bulk shop, take only what you need

Attitude Hotels fund small local businesses that align with its values, creating sustainable products and local jobs. Sourcing food locally, unless it cannot be grown or produced on the island. At Attitude we mainly source from Mauritian producers, whenever possible, as we know that this directly benefits the local economy. One example is the Mayaven family, a farming couple who provides our Zilwa Attitude and The Ravenala Attitude hotels with hydroponic vegetables using sustainable agricultural methods. This collaboration illustrates our wish to support entrepreneurship and to put the principles of circular economy into practice. Over time, their business has grown, creating new jobs and new sustainable practices such as agroforestryper, they have a team of 20 people growing our salad and vegetables.

You can also get a taste of Mauritian home cooking by ordering a tasty dholl puri from one of the street food vans, traditionally prepared by Mr and Mrs Chetty. Employing local people and suppliers is key to local sustainability, making a concerted effort to buy from local craftspeople, such as having most of the hotels furniture made in Mauritius, rather than choosing cheaper imports. The next goal for Attitude Hotels is for 50% of all the group’s purchases to be from suppliers with the ‘Made in Moris’ certification by 30 June 2021.

Attitude Hotels created its own investment company : Otentik Investments Ltd, to strengthen its contribution to local economy.  Attitude Hotels helps promising Mauritian companies to thrive if they align with Attitude’s criteria, which encompass eco-responsibility and the creation of jobs on the long term. After a period of financial and logistical support, which allows the company to develop, Otentik Investments Ltd recoups its initial investment and finances two or three new local entrepreneurs a year. One of the first fledgling companies to benefit is Kokodezil, a local and 100% natural cosmetics brand.

Attitude Hotels believe it’s important to do business with locals, so that tourism benefits the whole island. This focus means you’ll get a more authentic experience. You’ll meet Family Members (staff) who have grown up in Mauritius; and can have dinner with a local family – one of Attitudes Otentik Experiences – where 100% of the cost goes to your hosts. Mauritius has some incredible home-grown talent, so an annual music competition is hosted to discover up-and-coming musicians.

Attitude Hotels decorate interiors with stunning local art and photography. Furniture for hotels are on the whole sourced locally, despite competitive prices from China and Bali, they choose to use Mauritian carpentry. Attitude has also created Otentik Bazar, a pop-up market at hotels giving local designers the chance to sell their products. Handicrafts include baskets, jams, jewellery and handbags made from recycled sails. Attitude takes no commission from the sale of any goods and 95% of the profit is paid directly to the maker with remaining 5% going to financing environmental actions via the Green Attitude Foundation.

Human activity has an impact on underwater life, so Attitude Hotels created the Marine Discovery Centre. It choose not to be a helpless spectator in the degradation of the environment. Located at Lagoon Attitude hotel, the Marine Discovery Centre aims to unite, inform and act together. The scientists here train and educate all of the stakeholders in the area, from the fishermen and local population to the guests that stay at the hotels, helping everyone to better understand and preserve the beautiful natural environment. Attitude Hotels employ two full-time scientists who are dedicated to studying the region’s marine ecosystems and raising awareness of how to help protect this environment. Guests can arrange a visitation when staying at any of the Attitude Hotels.

Attitude Hotels have educated over 20,000 visitors, including school children, local village residents, guests, local and foreign business partners and our staff, known as Family Members. The hotel group has created an underwater trail that crosses a protected area. This is a fun and educational aquatic activity that allows you to discover the beauty of the seabed without damaging it. The trail educates you about the fragility of this eco-system and the installation of beacons clearly show the areas accessible to swimmers, avoiding the vulnerable corals. A charter also regulates access to this area and involves the coastal communities that depend on the sea; and actions such as installation and maintenance of mooring buoys ensures boats no longer anchor in the area.
