Description:
The Ravenala Palm tree, which gave its name to this newly-renovated all-suite hotel in 2015, is also known as the holidaymaker's tree. The Ravenala Attitude aims to provide guests from all over the world with a roof under which they can feel like kings. The location, between the palm-lined beach of Turtle Bay and the idyllic Rivière Citron coast offers a unique opportunity to relax with others or completely alone and let the sunshine and the waves work wonders on you. How does a romantic date at the intimate Riviera restaurant sound, for example, with the river trickling past you? Or a cocktail in the Sky Bar? Practise yoga by the river, or stand-up paddling on the turquoise ocean. Even those who are combining business with pleasure will find the Ravenala ideal for their needs. “Think well, love well, sleep well, dine well” is the motto of this hotel, where colonial style and modern accents meet with tropical simplicity, which is even more the case in the spacious suites with separate living room and bedroom. Couples who want to stay here completely undisturbed will enjoy the adults-only area, as well as the adjacent Japanese beach restaurant. Beyond that, there is a wide array of culinary delights open to all guests, from Vietnamese to Italian to traditional local food. Exotic cocktails, live music, and the weekly pool party bring sega rhythms to paradise, while the Spa Attitude offers hydrotherapy, a vichy shower, a Turkish bath, and a sauna. If families want some time away from each other for a while, the extensive sports and entertainment offering of the hotel includes an open-air cinema in the Mini Club, or karaoke and billiards in the Teen Republic.

Surroundings:
If you would like to get away from the beautiful beaches of Pointe aux Piments and Mont Choisy to discover some of the island's history, where countless cultures and religions mix together, then head for the capital city of Mauritius. This is also ideal if you want to discover the colours, scents, and artwork of the locals. Visit the Caudan Waterfront, Port Louis' largest shopping centre, which houses the Blue Penny Museum. This is well worth a visit, and contains the legendary Blue and Red Mauritius stamps, as well as an island version with Romeo and Juliet. The St. Croix quarter is one of the most important pilgrimage spots in the Indian Ocean, where the grave of national hero Père Laval, the “Apostle of black people” lies. Meanwhile, those looking for greenery should visit the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Gardens, just 10 km away, where you can see stunning plants of all kinds. Perhaps even a few Ravelana palm trees...
