Zilwa sits beside a quiet stretch of sand, with views of five tiny islands. A short boat ride takes you to Gran Zil and Ti Zil, two private islands for lazy beach days or barbecue lunches. You’re close to the fishing village of Grand Gaube, where local life feels untouched by time. Calm waters and gentle breezes make this coast feel made for slowing down.

The rooms at Zilwa offer a relaxed style and island charm. Superior rooms are great for couples, while the Family Apartments are ideal for larger groups. Many rooms face the sea; some sit just steps from the beach. All have terraces, soft cotton bedding, and soothing colours. For more space and romance, the Couple Privilege Suites include a private whirlpool and coffee machine.

Spend the day barefoot and content. You can stretch on the sand or join in a beach volleyball game. A morning massage on Ti Zil island is an experience to remember. Take a cooking class or discover handmade treasures at the Otentik Bazar. Each moment is light and full of charm, with space to breathe and unwind.

The resort has everything you need, and nothing you don’t. There’s a tennis court for active mornings and a spa hidden in lush gardens. A small shop sells local handmade goods. You’ll also find a tea corner and a bulk shop with zero plastic. The design feels fresh but rooted in place, with every space capturing the island’s character.

You can dine in seven different restaurants, each with its own soul. Try local Creole dishes one evening, and Indian or Sino-Mauritian the next. Taba-J brings you street food served in a cheerful wooden cart. The shore grills fresh seafood at Lor Disab. There’s a tea bar with vanilla blends and a juice bar on the sand. Dining here feels like a journey, not just a meal.

For honeymoons and anniversaries, this place feels just right. A romantic dinner by candlelight is part of the stay. You receive a handmade beach bag and exclusive local tea as gifts. The backdrop is beautiful, but it’s the quiet thoughtfulness that makes each moment special. Couples often return here to relive memories or create new ones.
