Tropical Attitude 

Stylish simplicity

You’ll find Tropical Attitude on Mauritius’ east coast, where soft sea breezes ruffle the palms that shade white sand beaches.

Tropical Attitude is a seaside bolthole where you can truly kick back. Informal and unpretentious, it’s a surefire winner for a relaxing, adult-only, boutique beach break in Mauritius. The stylish private pool villas and all-sea-view-guestrooms are fuss-free and fabulous with contemporary accents from local craftspeople. The sand-floored restaurants that champion local flavours are the epitome of easy breezy dining – there’s even a food truck for picking up snacks. Speaking of food, the all-inclusive option is a generous one and includes picnic baskets of goodies for days out exploring the island. Take advantage and hop on the complimentary boat that shuttles guests to and from Île aux Cerfs.

Why we love Tropical Attitude

  • This small, adults-only escape has an authentic Mauritian feel, from the fresh local flavours served in the restaurants to the typically Creole architecture of white-washed, thatched accommodation

  • The deliberate pared-back style and simple beach-chic aesthetic let the location dazzle—and what a location it is

  • The rooms have sea views, whereas the villas are twice the size and have plunge pools. Whichever you choose, they feature furniture sourced from local craftspeople and generous outdoor spaces

  • Hop aboard the complimentary boat to visit the idyllic shores of Île aux Cerfs, with gorgeous beaches and lovely restaurants to explore
