The Ravenala Attitude is a 4* all-suite hotel in Mauritius and sits on the island’s north-west coast in the small village of Balaclava, tucked between the sea and river. The views are spectacular, surrounded by emerald-coloured gardens and a backdrop of soaring mountains. This eco-friendly hotel is big on nature, blurring indoor and outdoor spaces harmoniously with colonial architecture and exotic, tropical accents. Imagine sand floors and open-air dining among towering palms.

Guests can choose what they fancy, from beachside dining at the lounge-bar, Italian, Asian or a romantic dinner on the Lemon River.
Activities include time in the pools and kayaking along the river. Otentik (authentic) experiences will help you connect with the local culture, so try a cooking class. For youngsters, there’s the Kids Club and, for grown-ups, there’s Spa POZ for some relaxing ‘me time’.
