The hotel

Completely renovated in 2017, this innovative resort has been designed by Kelly Hoppen and delivers an eclectic mix of effortless sophistication and relaxed informality, as well as signature LUX* touches. In a peaceful location, rooms overlook the triple-bay beaches and calm lagoon. There are beautiful gardens to wander in; stopping awhile to lounge on beanbags and hammocks dotted beneath coconut, banyan and filao trees. There are land and water sports galore, plus a world-class golf course nearby and bikes for exploring tropical hillsides or the local markets and village of Cap Malheureux. The LUX* Me Spa is a true haven, offering a range of indulgent treatments as well as yoga and dynamic exercise classes. Dining-wise, you’ll be spoilt for choice, with delicious island-inspired and international dishes. Chat to the chef and watch your meal being created at The Palm Court, savour the cultures of Peru at INTI and visit Under the Banyan for mouthwatering burgers, wood-smoked meats and inventive cocktails at the French Kiss Bar.

From the moment we arrived, Reedoo at Beach Rouge was an absolute star. His warm, attentive presence turned our holiday into something truly magical. On my partner’s birthday, Reedoo arranged a beautiful beach-side breakfast complete with flowers—such a touching surprise that felt personal, not staged. He also helped us book a memorable day trip, tailoring suggestions perfectly to our interests. (Casela, Walk with a Lion a private boat trip to a nearby island among many more) Every morning our sunbeds were perfectly arranged just where we wanted them. Reedoo made sure our glasses were sparkling clean and stocked our coolbox with chilled drinks for the day. It felt like he was anticipating our needs before we even realized them. He was incredibly kind and professional every single day. Nothing felt too much trouble. His friendly manner and genuine care made our stay feel extra special. Our time at Beach Rouge wasn’t just about the stunning beach club or delicious food and drinks—it was about being looked after in a way that genuinely made you feel valued. Reedoo’s service was truly the highlight of our stay. Thank you, Reedoo—and Beach Rouge— for turning a lovely getaway into something extraordinarily personal. Read less

Once you enter you can immediately see how much they love their job and how proud they are of Lux Grande Gaube! In particular Elena is amazing. She arranged a special gift for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Europe can learn much from Africa in terms of hospitality. That is why we came to Mauritius and Lux Grande Gaube did not disappoint at all. Till next time, we will take the kids with us! Read less

We came to Mauritius through our partners in Lithuania for a wedding. Everything was amazing. From the welcoming staff, the wedding planner Nitisa, to the photographer, the food and everything else. I highly recommend it. They will do everything to make you feel like you are in paradise.

We chose this hotel as the place to get married, and it proved to be an excellent decision. The entire wedding preparation process was smooth and professionally managed - thankfully to ms Nitisha Gutty & her wedding team - everything was handled with great attention to detail and efficiency. A huge thank you also to the florist, who prepared the flowers exactly as I asked, and to the lovely lady responsible for hair and makeup – she really listened to what I wanted, which made the final result perfect for me. I was very happy with how it turned out. Our stay at the hotel was just as great. The room was clean, spacious, the beds were very comfortable, and the view from the window was stunning. The food was very good – we visited every restaurant on site and were happy with the quality and variety. The people working at the hotel were amazing. We travel a lot, but we’ve rarely met such friendly and helpful staff. No matter the time or situation, we could always count on their support. Every contact felt genuine and warm. There was also a lot to do at the hotel – big thanks to Ainni, Mario and Bobo, who made sure there were plenty of activities and entertainment. Even when the weather wasn’t great or we had no plans, there was always something to enjoy. Everything was well organised and made our time even more pleasant. The hotel is very high standard – you can feel it’s a five-star place in every detail. It’s not the cheapest option, but it’s definitely worth the money. The difference between the peaceful, elegant hotel and the world outside its gates is really noticeable – it feels like a different world. One thing that surprised us was the deposit required at check-in – up to 500 RUP/day. It’s a rather large amount to have available on your credit card or bank account. It was refunded after the stay, but we wish we had known about it earlier, as it came unexpectedly. Overall, we’re very thankful – this trip was truly special, and thanks to the wonderful team, it’s something we’ll always remember. And honestly – we, Poles, who are known for not holding back when something’s off, had a hard time finding anything to complain about :) Read less

We’ve just returned from a 10-day stay at LUX Grand Gaube, and can’t stop sharing our experience with friends and family! From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed and completely relaxed—this truly is a stunning hotel in a breathtaking location. Perfect for families and couples. Our highlights of our trip and the brilliant staff that made it possible were. We had a 4 course meal on the beach at beach rouge which was organised by the fantastic Gianni and the staff at Cafe Rouge, Mehreen served us and made it wonderful. Our barista training experience at cafe lux with the wonderful Slyvano, he made it fun and interesting and we were rewarded with a lovely coffee each at the end. The hug me honey experience was a huge huge highlight for us and the stand out for food - we would highly recommend this one to anyone going! Ramen the chef made us the most incredible veggie meal and also taught us so much about honey, bees and the plants they grow there. We were served by Diren and he was wonderful, engaging and attentive, we left with the biggest smiles on our faces. Then of course the brilliant bar staff who looked after us every day at the pool and every evening at the palm court bar, Dookhun, Manav, Yuv and Akill - thank you!! There was so much to do on the hotel complex. Gianni gave us a tour of the property and showed us the amazing projects they are working on. There are two pools, one for adults only and one for all guests. All of the restaurants are amazing! Glass bottom boat, snorkeling, fitness classes, yoga and an amazing SPA. Too much to mention. We rented a car and having somewhere on the property where we could book trips was fantastic! We booked to swim with the dolphins and the staff there arranged everything and made it easy to book and put us in touch with the company that took us out. We are already looking to come back and we cannot wait, highly recommend everything about this hotel to anyone thinking about booking! Gianni and his staff made this one to remember! Looking forward to going back soon! Read less
