BYE, BYE, PLASTIC
Sacks, bags, rods, bottles: it's everywhere!
Recognise it? We're talking about enemy No. 1: single-use plastic.
The problem is that once you've finished using it, it stays.
At the side of our roads, in our landfill sites, in our oceans...
In November 2020, our hotels set themselves a target: to eliminate all single-use plastic from the customer experience. The result: more than 50 plastic items have been eliminated – that equates to more than 3,600,000 individual units each year across our nine hotels.
What does this mean in practical terms?

United to act
Because we believe in the power of collective action, the Attitude Group has been a signatory of the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative since 2025.
This initiative brings together global tourism stakeholders to address the root causes of plastic pollution. It calls for concerted action by setting an example to ensure the transition to circular plastics use. Joining this community takes this commitment a step further. -
A typical day... without plastic!
07:45am : Good morning, sunshine!
Single-use beauty kits and a thousand and one shampoo and soap containers have been removed or replaced by sustainable and/or upcycled solutions.
A gentle way to wake up, and a responsible gesture for the environment!
09am : Bon appétit
You're probably too busy enjoying your breakfast to notice that the packaging for the tea, coffee, sugar, condiments – and even butter – has all been replaced by reusable jars. And that's just as well!
In our kitchens, a deposit system has been introduced with several of our suppliers to encourage reuse and minimise unnecessary packaging. Everyone has a role to play at their own level.
10am: Discovering the island
Are you off to explore Port Louis or take a bike ride along the coast? In both cases: excellent choice! Before you leave, don't forget to fill up your Dopper water bottle: you can loan one for the duration of your stay and it will be given to you on arrival. Our water fountains throughout each hotel will allow you to fill it up.
4pm: A moment to yourself
Time to POZ. The good news is that our POZ spas are not just about sustainability.
As well as being 100% natural and vegan, our range of skincare products is delivered in consignments, collected and refilled by the supplier. Even our underwear comes in biodegradable packaging.
So you can treat yourself without feeling guilty!
5.30pm: One last stop at Laboutik
Before returning to your room, let’s make a diversion to our Bulk Shop, a unique concept for filling your minibar to your heart's content. Tea or coffee, chocolate powder for the kids or crisps to nibble on before dinner – everything is included in your package. The idea? To allow you to consume as you please while eliminating single-use plastic.
The difference
A small step for the planet, but a big step for the hotel industry!
We're convinced that every action counts. And our mission is to go further and further in our commitments. And while they may sometimes stray from industry codes, they are made from the heart, for the sake of our planet! !
