The Ravenala Attitude, hotel in Mauritius
The Ravenala Attitude is a suite-only hotel on the northwest coast of Mauritius in Balaclava, surrounded by tropical gardens between a river and the sea. The resort features ten restaurants, multiple pools, a spa, tennis courts, a fitness center, and water sports activities including windsurfing, kayaking, and snorkeling.
The hotel was originally built as La Plantation and reopened under its current name in 2015 following major renovations. It was Mauritius' first hotel to offer exclusively suite accommodations, blending colonial elements with modern design.
The hotel draws inspiration from Mauritius' roots in its room designs and decor, with patterns and colors reflecting the island's heritage. Staff members share stories about local traditions and festivals, helping visitors experience the island's culture through personal conversations and observations.
The hotel sits about 20 minutes from Port Louis and 1 hour from the airport in a bay with calm waters ideal for water sports and snorkeling. The wide white-sand beach offers plenty of space, and the large grounds never feel crowded even when fully occupied.
The hotel prioritizes environmental protection by planting mangroves and eliminating single-use plastic, with guests purchasing beverages and snacks in refillable containers. Visitors can contribute to conservation projects through their bills, making their stay more sustainable.
