The hotel

After a makeover in October 2023, the hotel re-opened as a spirited and luxury hotel, occupying a dream location overlooking a pristine stretch of beach washed by sparkling azure waters. It’s also home to one of the island’s largest swimming pools, take a dip or treat yourself to a fresh, low-fat ice cream packed with island fruits from the 'ici' vendors. You'll also find some quirky LUX* touches, such as their own blend of coffee roasted on site, a pop-up restaurant and Cinema Paradiso. LUX* Belle Mare offers a range of suites and private villas to tempt you, all beautifully designed. Upgrade to a Pool View Junior Suite overlooking the swimming pool or to a Wellness Junior Suite for wellness perks and spa discounts. Looking for a couples escape? The cocoon-like Ocean Suites are nice and private, or if you’re travelling with the children the Beach View Junior Suites are very spacious. It’s the little touches here that make all the difference, a British red phone box, for example, a novel way to call home! Exciting amenities include an impressive list of water sports with probably something new to try every day of your holiday. As for restaurants, you’ve several to choose from. MONDO specialises in worldwide cuisine, whilst at Amari by Vineet, you can enjoy Indian delights fit for a maharajah.

First and foremost, I must apologise that this review is almost 10 years overdue (we visited in 2015 for our honeymoon) and may not be reflective of the recently rebuilt Lux* Belle Mare since the unfortunate fire.

First and foremost, I must apologise that this review is almost 10 years overdue (we visited in 2015 for our honeymoon) and may not be reflective of the recently rebuilt Lux* Belle Mare since the unfortunate fire. However, I just had to say that our experience was pleasantly unforgettable. We went for the all-inclusive package in September 2015 (not 2024) and are still trying to shed the weight 10 years later! At the time, we struggled to decide between Grand Gaube, Le Morne & Belle Mare but I believe we chose the best in 2015 after all the awards won. Next month, we shall be visiting all FOUR resorts, so I will take notes and provide reviews a lot sooner (I promise). From my memory, highlights were the nitro cold coffee, duck laundry, Amari by Vineet (dark & cosy at the time), the chocolate calzone, the breakfast, burger and ice cream stands and more. Now we have some final planning to do. In the meantime, I will share some moments (all edible) from 2015 and a big belated thank you to Antoine Chignac, Ashish Modak & all the crew, past and present. See you soon x Read less

Amazing location directly at the beach. The restaurants are fabulous and the food is just incredible. Extremely nice waiters like sunjay and deeksha. We can recommend this place highly for relaxing holidays.

Beyond fabulous! We have never felt more pampered and spoilt than we were at the Lux. The villa was simply gorgeous and the team - Benji, Rao, Kumar and Suryideep treated us like royals. With our every need catered for and always checking if there was anything we needed, no request was too big or too small. The team took note of our likes and without our asking they made thoughtful little changes to ensure our happiness - such as stocking more cola as I don’t drink alcohol but love coke! They also kept us entertained as we guessed which creative towel animal would grace our bed next! The cleaning and turn down services were impeccable and we were delighted with the evening canapés before dinner - with one set even being served floating in the pool! The choice of meals were amazing and even though The Duck Laundry and Beach Rouge offered delightful experiences, Mondo never failed to delight with the outstanding choice and quality of food - a feast for the eyes and stomach every time. Rati was such a delight and really went out of her way to made us feel seen and catered for without being overbearing - such a lovely person. With no shortage of activities to keep us busy it was always such a treat to stop off for delicious ice-cream, sample the food at the Rolles Royce food truck - with Rohan’s kind attention and enthusiasm. The team at the main bar - Vijay and Veekram, made sure our favourite ripples were to hand each time we arrived and took time to make us feel so welcome as they ensured that we did not want for anything. However, a moment for us to always treasure and remember is the surprise outdoor romantic meal set up and served for us - once the team discovered it was our anniversary. Girish was a true star running back and fir to ensure our food remained hot and served on time, being on hand to cater for drinks etc without invading our privacy. So thoughtful and kind- we were so touched. The spa team were fabulous too and the massages were out of this world - definitely worth experiencing! All in all, the holiday was a slice of heaven and truly gave us the opportunity to relax and ‘switch off’. Everyone was so kind and friendly that at times it felt quite surreal. We feel so blessed to have had such a super positive experience and for the whole trip to have completely exceeded expectations. I feel like I could go on forever! We look forward to another visit.
