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.

We spent five nights here for our honeymoon. The resort is breathtaking! Everything from the hotel, to the pool, to the bars, to the beach are picture perfect! The staff is very friendly and eager to help with any need you may have. The food is all delicious, fresh, and diverse! The rooms are very clean, modern, and comfortable. This resort has the best beach in the area! We went during off season and there were plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas to be had. Some tips for future travelers: 1. We went here for our honeymoon. Please be aware this is a very friendly family property. There were many children all over the place. We were OK with kids but if you are looking for a quiet, adult centered retreat, this may not be the hotel for you. 2. I recommend stopping at the super market to pick up snacks, bottled water, and even a bottle of alcohol to enjoy in your room. The staff recommended we (from the United States) not drink the tap water. This left us to drink bottled water (provided by the hotel for roughly $4 USD a bottle). Also be aware of the mini bar prices! A 375 ml bottle of Absolut will set you back about $60 USD! Some constructive feedback: 1. The skill level of the bartenders varied GREATLY. This is probably our biggest complaint. Even when ordering drinks off the menu, they were very inconsistent in how they were made and tasted. When drinks are roughly $15 USD I expected consistent top quality drinks (PS a greater variety of frozen drinks would be awesome!) 2. During our stay the weather did not cooperate for two of the days. To make the best of it we signed up for a few of their scheduled enhancements/experiences. The first being an explanation of the coffee roasting process done on site. Unfortunately we learned this had been cancelled and the hotel schedule was never updated. The second item we signed up for was the "Perfect Aperol". According to the hotel App, this required us to sign up in advance for it. We did so and showed up at our scheduled time- however nobody was staffing the bar at that time and they were unaware we had booked it. Turns out the "Perfect Aperol" experience was just making a very standard/average Aperol Spritz. Pretty disappointing especially for the $30 USD per person price point and requirement to book in advanced. 3. Duck Laundry was delicious Chinese food. We were there for a romantic dinner. Service and food were both top notch. Only comment would be when the band started playing at the mixologist bar outside, the band music was a bit overpowering within the restaurant- cheapened the 5 star dining experience. Read less

We just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary at Lux Belle Mare and every moment at this luxurious hotel was nothing short of perfection. The grounds were immaculately kept, and every corner of the landscaped gardens created areas of tranquillity. Our junior suite was beautiful, with fresh linens and perfect amenities. The staff members were very welcoming and genuinely attentive. They catered for all our needs with high professionalism. Dining was a real treat— locally sourced ingredients and spices made every course delicious . Many special thanks to Sheila Malloo the General Manager, Elvis Folley at the reception desk, Jennifer the Guest Relations Manager who spoilt us everyday, the baristas – Bilal, Krissan and the third barista (apology for not remembering your name). And last but not least, the amazing Ashveena who truly is an asset to the restaurant, she made sure that all our requests were catered for during breakfast time. We will cherish our memories and look forward to returning very soon. Mr David Bennett & Mrs Bettina Bennett Read less

The experience at Luxe Belle Mare was very good. The sea is so beautiful, and I especially recommend having lunch at the Beach Rouge restaurant. Sawan is very kind. He made our last day happy.
