Set on a superb beach on the East coast, the property is the brand’s flagship hotel on the island with an air of chilled, understated elegance. New for this year all the suites and villas have been completely refurbished. Thatched colonial-style villas with chic room interiors, feature a light and bright theme and are dressed in soothing whites with splashes of colour. For the ultimate in exclusivity the spacious villas surround a courtyard pool and a private beach.
Foodies will love the authentic fine dining including Amari by Vineet Bhatia, the first Indian chef to be awarded a Michelin star. There’s freshly caught fish at Beach Rouge and the trendy Duck Laundry with its Asian tapas is a delight. If you choose to go for the All-Inclusive it is a good value option.
The enormous pool, one of the largest in Mauritius at 2,000m2, has a separate area for children to swim in whilst you can enjoy an endless list of water sports, nearby riding stables and tennis courts. Programmes of entertainment and games are arranged for the whole family or couples throughout the week with different themed cultural events and nights.
The LUX* Resorts & Hotels have real vision and always surprise you with imaginative special touches such as a trendy pop-up Cinema Paradiso which can be found on the beach complete with popcorn and lounge cushions under the night sky and its own brand of water as well as its signature coffee roasted on the island. The Maison LUX* concept is a café bar with expert barista/ bartenders on hand to provide delicious bespoke coffees and pastries for example all day and exquisite cocktails at night.
There’s also Phone Home using the iconic red phone box for free international calls to all landlines, its own brand ICI ice cream stall plus a secret honesty bar that is there one day and gone the next.
The LUX* Me Spa has been totally refreshed, with a spa suite for couples, traditional Chinese medicine cabins, Thai massage cabins, a sauna and steam room.

It’s a spectacular spot: there’s a Josper-style grill, live cooking stations, Asian and Spicy Curry corners, glass tandoor, saj oven for oriental bread-making and a Japanese teppanyaki area. Sweet things also get a starring role, including a dedicated chocolate room where guests can watch and participate in live cooking sessions, a glass oven for viennoiseries and a lavish display of pastries and desserts.
Breakfast - 07:00 to 10:30
Dinner - 19:00 to 22:30
Beach Rouge
Occupying a prime spot right on the sands and with spectacular views across the Indian Ocean, Beach Rouge is open for lunch and dinner. There’s a hint of French Riviera in the airy white-and-red decor. In the lounge area, cocktails and tapas make for lazy days and cool evenings by the Indian Ocean: flop down on cushions on the beach to the upbeat sound of top DJs. Local, fresh-from-the-sea produce shines in the kitchen, where chefs whip up tantalising feasts of the island’s best seasonal fare.
Lunch – 12:30 to 15:30
Dinner - 19:00 to 22:30
Duck Laundry
Heading further east, Duck Laundry is the top table in Mauritius today, offering contemporary-style Chinese dishes, featuring duck in its many guises including crowd-pleasing Peking duck with steamed pancakes. Dim sum, live noodle-making stations, a wood-fired duck oven and a Chinese barbecue station complete the experience, crowned by a varied selection of Chinese teas and Asian spirits.
Dinner - 18:30 to 22:30
Amari by Vineet
For a dash of Asian spice, head to Amari by Vineet, the resort’s new Indian restaurant – a clean-lined but opulent space for the Michelin-star chef’s scintillating fare. A leading light in the reinvention of Indian cuisine, Chef Vineet Bhatia won his first Michelin star at Zakia in London in 2001, followed by another in 2006 for his personal venture `Rasoi` in London as well as in 2009 for `Rasoi by Vineet` in Geneva. His masterful technique makes the textures and flavours of India shine, in sumptuous, subtly spiced dishes with contemporary flair.
Dinner - 19:00 to 22:30
K-Bar
Named after Kelly Hoppen, the K-Bar entertains with its dragon-inspired cocktails and headlines with another LUX* first: a microbrewery feature in this `gastro pub`, where an exclusive range of craft beers are available on tap.
All day - 10:30 to midnight
Mari Kontan
Exploring the vibrant culture and flavours of an extraordinary locale, Mari Kontan showcases the history, language, food, music and dance of the Sugar Island. Sample a selection of delicious, locally made produce including a variety of flavoured Mauritian rums – the perfect souvenirs for friends and family.
All day - 10:30 to midnight
Café LUX*
Excellent coffee is a must, not a luxury; that’s why you’ll find a Café LUX* at the heart of LUX* Belle Mare. Café LUX* has revolutionised the world of hotel coffee, and our commitment remains clear: to offer our guests the finest barista-made coffee, day or night. Great coffee begins with freshly ground beans, so we roast our own in our on-site roasting rooms, which can be explored on our aromatic behind-the-scenes tour. Our specialist baristas keep up with all the latest trends and techniques – including Cold Press, Pour Overs and Nitro coffee. Bespoke ‘pod’ machines and a variety of Café LUX* blends allow guests to enjoy an aromatic cup in their room, and even at home.

Pretty speechless really, had an absolute AMAZING 12 nights here over the Xmas period (thanks to Kate & the team for the recommendation). Stunning setting on the beach, first class service throughout the resort and the All Inclusive package is very good value for money. We hope to be returning soon and I would certainly recommend the beach suites (see my Trip Advisor Review). Thanks Travelbeam ????

The hotel was absolutely superb and we couldn`t fault it in any way at all. The staff were so lovely, our room was just perfect, the food was amazing and it was in such a lovely position right on the beach. I would recommend the all inclusive option – it`s definitely worth the extra!!
