About This Lodge

The Ravenala Attitude is a spacious and contemporary hotel situated along the north-west coast of Mauritius. Its identity is defined by a mix of tropical lifestyle and a relaxed, open atmosphere that mirrors the island’s varied cultural heritage. The property is designed with a focus on space and light, providing a grounded and authentic connection to the coastal environment.

Location & Setting

The hotel is positioned along a stretch of white sandy beach in Balaclava, bordered by the Citron River and the Indian Ocean. This geography creates a unique setting where fresh river water meets the salt sea, surrounded by lush tropical gardens. The terrain is flat and accessible, providing clear lines of sight toward the turquoise lagoon. 

Located approximately 15 minutes from the vibrant hub of Grand Baie and 20 minutes from the capital, Port Louis, the setting combines coastal seclusion with convenient access to the island’s primary cultural and commercial centers.

Accommodation

The property features 272 suites, each designed with a refined “islander” style that utilizes natural materials like wood, rattan, and fine fabrics. The interiors are characterized by large spaces and soft earth tones, creating a tranquil environment for rest. Each suite includes a private balcony or terrace, allowing for quiet observation of the gardens or the sea. 

The sensory experience is defined by the gentle breeze from the lagoon and the natural light that fills the rooms through large glass doors, ensuring a spacious and airy living space throughout the stay.

Facilities & Experiences

Life at the hotel revolves around its central plaza and a diverse collection of ten restaurants, each offering a distinct culinary experience. A large swimming pool serves as a focal point for daytime relaxation, while the spa provides a quiet retreat for wellness. 

The service style is warm and attentive, maintaining a communal atmosphere that feels both professional and personal. Evenings are often spent in the open-air lounge areas, where guests can enjoy the transition from day to night under the Mauritian sky. The overall atmosphere remains steady and inviting, catering to a broad range of guest preferences.

Our Sustainability & Community Impact

The hotel operates an “Otentik” program that brings local artisans directly into the property to showcase their crafts, ensuring that traditional Mauritian skills are preserved and directly supported. By eliminating all single-use plastics in guest areas through a bulk-buy and refill system, the property protects the sensitive lagoon ecosystem from waste. This approach ensures that the surrounding marine environment remains a healthy habitat for the coral and fish species that define the coastline.
