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 arrived at the Lux Belle Mare on the evening of Thursday, 10 July and from the moment we arrived it felt like we had stepped into paradise. The hotel is beautiful and maintained gorgeously, The beaches are the most breathtaking beaches we’ve ever seen. This resort is so special, because every single member of staff we encountered was warm, friendly, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. A special mention to Rohan, our waiter at Royce Street, whose attentiveness made us feel like nothing was to much trouble. Our biggest highlight was being invited by the hotel manager to the Bottega party on the beach, an unforgettable evening with a live band and canapés, the atmosphere and setting, under the stars made it a magical night to remember. The amenities at the hotel are very good, Whether it’s the pool, spa, or strolling through the beautiful grounds, you can see how much care goes into keeping things immaculate. The beach is a dream, soft white sand and crysta clear waters that are perfect for swimming or sunbathing. Either side to the hotel there are two public beaches that are a little dirty so a walk around is ok but I wouldn’t recommend sitting there. Lux Belle Mare has been a beautiful experience. Our hearts are full and we can’t wait to return. Read less

I wasn’t a great fan of the breakfast buffet I’ve seen better but the dinner buffet was amazing it’s a must try, it was a bit pricey but worth it, we also tried the Indian restaurant for me it was average ( I hoped to get a unique experience but on the contrary it was loud with children crying and shouting( lux should definitely make that adult only experience). The swimming pool was great unfortunately for me weather wasn’t working on my side ☹️ but overall I would say 8.9 out of 10 definitely gonna try the other 3 Lux** hotels. Read less

Unforgettable Stay at Lux Belle Mare Celebration Made Truly Special Just got back from six amazing days at Lux Belle Mare in Mauritius, and honestly, it was a dream come true. From the moment we arrived the hospitality made everything feel so special. The team there really went above and beyond to make our time perfect. Exceptional Service from Start to Finish Big shout-out to Vishal from reservations! He made the whole pre-arrival process super smooth and enjoyable. When we checked in, Hema welcomed us with such genuine warmth. She learned we were celebrating and got us an upgrade to a better room, which was a lovely surprise. Jennifer – Our Experience The best part of our stay was undoubtedly Jennifer. We can’t thank her enough! She went above and beyond every day to make our anniversary unforgettable. From sweet little touches like beautifully plated desserts, cocktails, and pizzas, to just checking in on us with a smile, everything she did made us feel so special. It felt like we were more than just guests; we felt truly valued. Catering to Our Vegetarian Preferences Shout-out to the chefs and restaurant staff too, especially Dolores, who made sure our vegetarian needs were taken care of. We were a bit worried about finding eggless meals before the trip, but the staff was great about customizing our meals and really paying attention to our preferences. Everything Was Simply Perfect We left with hearts full of gratitude and memories we’ll cherish forever. Huge thanks to the Lux Belle Mare team, especially Vishal, Hema, and Jennifer, for making our stay absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to go back! Read less

We stayed as a couple at Belle Mare in July, and have nothing but great things to say about the hotel, staff, food and experience we had! Huge shoutout to Jennifer at the Celebration Corner for taking the time to celebrate our special occasion with such attention - we felt very special. Special thanks to the Barista at Maison Lux for brewing amazing coffee, comparable to that of top cafes in London (probably even better). Mondo, the Duck Laundry, Beach Rouge and the Mixologist were great in terms of food options, quality and service. It did not disappoint us. Another shoutout to Sanjay for giving us lovely drinks on the house on our last night. Staff, were lovely, well informed and plentiful around the resort. This meant you weren't lost, and always had help at hand whenever you needed it. Our room, was always well kept and cleaned to that of a 5* standard - thanks to the housekeeping team for the consistency! The gym, spa, and other areas around the resort were always kept clean and tidy, with plenty of activities each day to keep guests entertained. The beach is kept clean throughout the day, with soft sand and a well equipped boat house. I would recommend for the team to make more efforts to keep the beach beds and the sun loungers more lux and tidy, to give it that high end experience. Overall, I'd highly recommend Lux Belle Mare, whether you're a couple, small or big family, as there truly is something for everyone whilst feeling Lux. Read less
