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.

The beach is stunning, the rooms are very nice and the staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is very good as well hence 5* No complaints with anything. But the "all inclusive" is definitely not that and we received a large extras bill at the end of the holiday which was unexpected. For a hotel of this standard the "all inclusive" wine list consisted of 3 white , 3 red and 2 rose wines of which only 1 rose was acceptable and the spirits were of no better standard. I was also not expecting to pay extra for a piece of grilled fish or steak, lamb chops etc. I would love to return to this hotel but first they really need to get their act together and when they quote an "all inclusive" price that is exactly what it should be.

We do not recommend LUX Belle Mare! Unfortunately, our experience was ruined by illness during our stay. We think it was due to poor water quality from the bottled water provided by the hotel as we met 20 other guests who were also sick with vomiting and diarrhea.

We do not recommend LUX Belle Mare! Unfortunately, our experience was ruined by illness during our stay. We think it was due to poor water quality from the bottled water provided by the hotel as we met 20 other guests who were also sick with vomiting and diarrhea. When we reached out for help, the resort simply blamed the government for this issue instead of offering any support or understanding. While it is possible to have a nice vacation there, if you do get sick, do not expect any assistance or reimbursement from the resort. We strongly advise you to take your money and vacation elsewhere. Save yourself the trouble and choose a different resort! Read less

A superb holiday in a sublime hotel with wonderful aesthetics and design! Lovely villa so well well done and serviced. Kerhti, Mehan, Benji were excellent villa hosts! Outstanding New Years celebrations put on by the hotel. Loved the watersports included on a cotton candy feel beach. The pool was large and a great size and depth for kids.
