Responsible tourism isn’t solely about environmental issues. Being dedicated to building up Mauritian communities, supporting social projects, fostering shared responsibility, and working with local small businesses is key to the Attitude experience.
The word 'otentik' is Créole for 'authentic' – and that’s exactly what you’ll get. Take the food, for instance. Every Attitude Hotel has a street food stall known as ‘Taba-J.’ Steeped in Mauritian history, Taba-J is more than just a dining spot; it’s a tribute to the island’s vibrant street food culture. Taken from the island’s history of ‘tabagies’ which are akin to Mauritian shebeens. The heart and soul of the island, where locals would meet to grab some food or a beer, pick up the all-important bread and milk, and socialise with one another.
Or there’s Kot Nou, another signature restaurant which you’ll find in each hotel, easily spotted thanks to the cheerful, bright yellow roof. Imagine stepping into a Mauritian home for dinner, adorned with local artwork and exuding a cozy, familial aura. That’s Kot Nou in a nutshell. If that isn’t authentic enough, you could always take up Attitude’s offer to dine with a local Mauritian family in their home.
If rejuvenation is on your agenda, spa treatments incorporate locally sourced ingredients - grown on a farm specialising in endemic plants. Assuming you’ll love the body butters, cleansers, and more, it’s probably a relief to know that can buy the spa products (along with all other kinds of locally sourced goods like tea, clothing, and spices) at your hotel too.
Attitude isn’t just inviting you to visit Mauritius; they're asking you to become its guardian. These spots aren't just about fancy stays; they're about turning a holiday into a genuine connection with the heart and soul of Mauritius.
