We have recently returned from a 10-day trip to Zilwa and have nothing but positive things to say about our whole stay. It is a true paradise! From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the stunning view over the lagoon to the islands beyond, and we loved every moment from then until we left. The layout of the hotel is wonderful; everything is easily on hand, it takes only a few minutes to walk between the bars, restaurants, pools and beach, but the use of terracing set amongst lush green gardens and waterways makes it all feel secluded. The infinity pool is wonderful with its views over the ocean. The beach itself provides plenty of sun loungers with lots of palm trees and umbrellas for shade yet was never overcrowded or anything other than peaceful. The food is exceptional; everything is so fresh with such variety on offer. We tried the Indian, Thai and Mauritian themed restaurants in addition to the buffet meals and nothing disappointed. There is a wide range of activities on offer from table tennis to volleyball and a well-equipped gym. We also enjoyed kayaking and the pedalos as well as a boat trip to Grand Zil island, where we had a delicious BBQ lunch. You can take a short boat ride to a local reef where the snorkelling is incredible, we were even lucky enough to see a turtle! The spa was an amazing experience, again the setting is beautiful, and the treatments are well worth the money. The staff are warm and friendly and really make you feel special on your holiday. A particular mention for the waiting staff in the buffet restaurant who covered the area in front of Tadka, Olanike who served us drinks in the bar each evening, and Rawat who brought us drinks and food on the beach – nothing was ever too much trouble for him. We had 2 interconnecting rooms, both of which were very spacious and spotlessly clean. The beds were very comfortable, and we never tired of sitting on the terrace each morning, looking over the gardens and out to sea. Having the opportunity to stock up on the tea, coffee and other drinks as we needed it is a brilliant idea. We took taxis (arranged through the hotel) on 2 occasions to visit Chamerel in the south of the Island, as well as the capital Port Louis. Both trips were wonderful and would highly recommend. It was fantastic to experience different parts of this beautiful country. Thank you to our taxi driver, Anil, who helped to make it very straightforward and stress free. We feel extremely grateful to have been able to have spent our holiday in such a wonderful and beautiful place and very much hope to return one day.
