The Ravenala Attitude Hotel

Tucked into the coastal village of Balaclava on the north-west of Mauritius, The Ravenala Attitude rests between the slow-moving river and a quiet beach. Soft light, long palms, and warm air welcome you in. You feel a gentle rhythm here, shaped by nature and island life. The setting opens up to sunsets over the ocean and walks under tall mountain peaks in the distance. It feels far away, yet close to everything that matters.

All 272 suites offer light, quiet, and a feeling of home. You can choose Couple, Family, or Executive Seafront Adult Suites. Each one has vast space, a private terrace or balcony, and a soft colour palette. Suites in the adult-only wing open right onto the sea and set you up for sunset each evening. Everything you need is within reach — from bathtubs to proper beds for little ones.

Time feels different here. You might take a bike tour to Pointe aux Piments or float down the river on a kayak. A cooking class might tempt you next. Children have their own space at Ayo Le Dodo. Evening music brings people together under open skies. Spa rituals and tailored treatments help you switch off without effort. You choose your pace, and your peace.

At the heart of The Ravenala Attitude are things that make daily life feel better. The 1,000 m² pool spans across two curves. Teabaz serves fragrant local brews from Corson Tea Estate. A bulk shop lets you fill glass jars with tea or coffee for your room. The kids’ club has had a fresh update. And a spa with a hammam and a whirlpool adds another layer of calm. The hotel also holds a Travelife Gold award for its care for nature.

Food becomes an easy pleasure here. The Dine Around plan lets you try seven restaurants with very different flavours. You can choose from sushi at Lime, local recipes at Kot Nou, and grills at Riviera. Mozaik offers a buffet that brings local and international together. Taba-J turns out beach snacks and tea. After hours, you can drift into After — the nightclub — or sip something smooth at the Balcony Bar.

Weddings and vows feel sacred here, wrapped in natural beauty. You can plan the moment on the jetty or the sand. The setting adds quiet magic to every promise. Conference spaces also suit those mixing work with ease. From boardrooms to the ‘Think Tank’, events unfold with seamless care. The Ravenala makes room for both heart and business, with elegance in every step.
