Lagoon Attitude Hotel
Mauritius, Indian Ocean
Anse la Raie
The Lagoon Attitude is located on the north coast of Mauritius in Anse La Raie, overlooking one of the island’s largest lagoons. The hotel edges a protected coast on the north side of the island and is reserved for adults only, offering a chilled seaside vibe. Lagoon Attitude is resolutely eco-committed.
Guests' looking to relax can bathe by one of the hotel's 3 swimming pools, or enjoy a treatment at the hotels Spa POZ, which offers a great selection of treatments using 100% natural – and locally made – products. For those looking for something a bit livelier, there is evening entertainment up to 5 times a week, and DJ parties including a beach part, or pool party.
There is plenty on offer at the hotel to keep you busy throughout the day including tennis, beach volley, a fitness centre, board games, and yoga for beginners. For those looking to make use out of the crystal blue waters, why not take part in a full day catamaran trip*, PADI diving*, kayaking, snorkelling, or kite surfing (nearby).
There are 182 rooms at the hotel, some with an outdoor Jacuzzi, and traditional Mauritian architecture blends with contemporary beach decor to create a paradise for nature and sea lovers. Each room is complete with free wi-fi, a telephone, electronic safe, hair dryer, tea and coffee making facilities and air conditioning.
There is a choice of three very different atmospheres, depending on whether you are looking for fun or peaceful holiday moments. The Otentik (authentic) area with its Mauritian restaurants; the lively area with its ocean facing Seabreeze Bar; and a peaceful area hosting an infinity pool and a gastronomic restaurant. Dining here is in tune with nature, so you will find a choice of seasonal and locally grown produce on your plate. If you are on a half board basis or higher, the Dine Around experience allows you to try three out of the five hotel restaurants. The staff, known as Family Members, will go above and beyond to look after every guest throughout their stay here – they are a true reflection of warm Mauritian hospitality.

Highly recommended stay
First time to Mairitius and this is an amazing place to stay. Staff welcoming and certain members of the team couldn’t do enough for you. Food excellent. Would highly recommend. A few stand out members of the team that deserve a mention. Krish who seemed to serve us a lot in the restaurants and was always so polite, happy and just an all round great ambassador for the hotel. Henna who was serving drinks from late afternoon into the evening and remembered our drinks and room No time after time. Nothing was too much trouble. Finally to Kheswar, Bradley and the Animation team who gave us plenty of activities to do around the pool and organised the evening entertainment. Nothing was too much trouble - made sure guests were involved and felt as you’ve made new friends. Lagoon Attitude these are some of your stand out members of the team. Please let them know how grateful we were.

A Fantastic 10-Night Belated Honeymoon ❤️
We’ve just returned from a fantastic 10-night stay at Lagoon Attitude Resort to celebrate our belated honeymoon, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place.
Beautifully located on the north coast of Mauritius, the resort offers a stunning setting to relax and enjoy the island. One thing we particularly liked was the concept of three different zones: Lively, Laid-back and Local, each offering its own atmosphere. Whether you fancy a livelier vibe, somewhere peaceful to unwind, or a more local Mauritian feel, there’s something for everyone. We thought this was a brilliant concept that really added to the experience.
Our suite was clean, spacious and comfortable, and we absolutely loved the outdoor bath — a lovely added touch that made our stay feel extra special.
The real highlight, however, was the staff. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and attentive, always going above and beyond to make sure we had a great time.
A special shout-out to Ganesha, who looked after us at the Seabreeze Bar most days and made sure we stayed well hydrated 🍺🍹; Reena, who worked across several of the restaurants; and Jeremy and Melvin, who took us on our catamaran island tour and were great fun.
The only disappointment was that, on our final night, the Asian à la carte restaurant we had booked had to close unexpectedly. However, Rubens, the general manager, was brilliant and arranged a table for us at an alternative à la carte restaurant, ensuring we didn’t miss out. We really appreciated how he handled the situation.
Overall, Lagoon Attitude was the perfect setting for our belated honeymoon. The beautiful location, lovely suite, unique atmosphere and, above all, the outstanding staff made it a holiday we’ll remember for a long time.
We’d highly recommend this resort and would love to return one day. Thank you to the whole team for helping make our honeymoon so memorable! ❤️

An Outstanding Dining Experience at the Coral Resto
During our stay at Lagoon Attitude, we had the pleasure of trying a variety of dishes from Coral’s diverse menu, and we were impressed by every single one of them. A huge compliment to the chefs Oshan, Gunakshi and Yuvraj – every dish was delicious, beautifully prepared and full of flavour.
However, what truly made Coral stand out was the exceptional service provided by the entire team: Usha, Akshay, Jerome, Permal and Sumit. Their warmth, kindness and genuine dedication made us feel incredibly welcome from the very first moment. Their friendliness and attentiveness went far beyond our expectations and made every visit feel special. A big thank you to all of you!
A brilliant hotel, simply facing the wrong direction! A great stay, with a few areas to improve.
Lagoon Attitude – A brilliant hotel, simply facing the wrong direction! A great stay, with a few areas to improve.
We’ve had a lovely stay at Lagoon Attitude and would definitely recommend it, although there are a few things that could be improved to make the experience even better.
The hotel and atmosphere
One of the biggest positives is the size of the hotel. It’s not too big or busy, and even though we were told the hotel was full, it never felt overcrowded. There were always plenty of sunbeds and places to sit, and we never had to queue at the bars. It has a really relaxed atmosphere, and all the staff we encountered were friendly, welcoming and keen to help.
Restaurants and food
Coral was by far our favourite restaurant, with Lemongrass a close second. Both were excellent, and we'd highly recommend eating at both. Kot Nou was noticeably behind the other two in our experience.
One important tip: book your restaurants well in advance by emailing the hotel before you arrive. We found the booking process a little frustrating, and getting the times and restaurants we wanted once at the hotel could be difficult. Unfortunately, we didn't always find the restaurant booking service particularly helpful.
We also found the all-inclusive arrangements confusing at times. It wasn't always clear what was included and what required an additional payment. Staff were happy to clarify when we asked, but we sometimes felt awkward having to ask in the first place. Clearer information about what's included would make a big difference.
One slightly uncomfortable experience was at Kot Nou, where a senior waitress asked how we had enjoyed our meal. I hadn't finished one part of the dessert because it was simply too sweet for my taste, although my wife loved it. The waitress then brought the chef out to explain the dessert's sweetness. It felt completely unnecessary and rather awkward, especially as the chef had prepared a lovely meal for us. A bill showing all zeros was then brought to the table because we were all-inclusive, which also felt a little strange. We appreciated the intention behind the service, but the whole interaction felt over the top.
We also noticed that most guests eat quite early. We prefer a more Mediterranean-style evening, eating later, and even our 8:30 pm bookings felt early for us. We were often the last people in the restaurants, so bear this in mind if you enjoy late dinners.
Bars and service
The Seabreeze bar was a favourite, particularly thanks to Ganesha. He's an absolute credit to the hotel: genuinely lovely, kind and welcoming to everyone. Make sure you ask him for a San Francisco cocktail! The wider Seabreeze team were also fantastic.
Unfortunately, service in the main bar during the evening entertainment was disappointing at times. They insist on table service, but there simply didn't seem to be enough staff to cope with the number of guests. This meant waiting longer than necessary for drinks, which took away from an otherwise enjoyable evening. Either additional staff or a more flexible ordering system would help enormously.
We also felt the no-smoking rules around the amphitheatre need to be enforced more consistently. On some evenings, the area smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, which wasn't pleasant when trying to enjoy the entertainment.
Activities and facilities
Padel can be booked through reception with the animation team, which is useful to know. The cooking class, however, was disappointing. We expected something more interactive, but essentially watched a chef make a curry before eating it. It wasn't really worth the time in our opinion.
The boathouse offers activities and excursions, but book these a few days in advance to avoid disappointment.
The spa deserves a special mention. My wife had an amazing full-body massage with Deepika, who made her feel completely comfortable and relaxed. She would absolutely recommend booking a treatment with her. Thank you, Deepika!
The resident dogs generally don't bother guests unless you actively encourage them, which we appreciated. They can bark quite a lot in the evenings, though. We also noticed a cat in one of the restaurants being fed by guests, which we didn't think was particularly appropriate for a restaurant environment.
The beach and exploring Mauritius
One thing worth mentioning is the weather and beach conditions. On some days, the wind and lack of sunshine meant we ended up heading indoors at around 4:30 pm. This will obviously depend on the weather and time of year, but it's worth considering if spending all day on a sheltered, sunny beach is your main priority.
Our advice would be to hire a car and explore the island. We found the beaches along the north-west coast much better for what we were looking for, and it would have been a shame to visit Mauritius without seeing more of it.
Overall
We've had a really enjoyable stay at Lagoon Attitude. The relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent Coral and Lemongrass restaurants, quality entertainment and wonderful spa experience all made for a memorable holiday.
The main areas for improvement are restaurant booking, clearer all-inclusive information, evening bar service and a few inconsistencies in the overall guest experience.
These issues stopped it being a five-star stay for us, but there is plenty to like about this hotel. With a few improvements, it could be even better.
