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.

Perfect honeymoon resort! We decided to spend our honeymoon at the Lux Grand Gaube and it has been nothing but amazing. The initial check in process by adeela was very smooth and informative. The service by the staff all around the resort was flawless and they have a wide variety of food to cater for everyone’s needs. A huge shoutout to Shehbiir who was looking after the housekeeping for our room 3025. He went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect for us and was constantly looking out for us to check if there’s anything we needed. Mario and the lady (sorry didn’t catch her name) at studio 17 were also amazing at their job who helped us with arts and crafts where we got to make souvenirs to take home. The regional manager was also very helpful making sure to address any of our concerns and made sure we were well looked after. Overall our experience has been very positive and I would definitely reccomend this resort to anyone thinking about it. Yasin and Ammarah Read less

From start to finish this has been an amazing place to visit. The staff are so friendly and always go out of their way to help or sometimes just saying hello is enough. The food is excellent no two meals taste the same which can often be the case with all inclusive dining. A special thanks goes to Lucy the morning chef who always making omelettes… Read more
From start to finish this has been an amazing place to visit. The staff are so friendly and always go out of their way to help or sometimes just saying hello is enough. The food is excellent no two meals taste the same which can often be the case with all inclusive dining. A special thanks goes to Lucy the morning chef who always making omelettes or scrambled egg with a smile on her face. Manav who assists around the pool is always going the extra mile to help to make your day as comfortable as possible. Reedo who seems to marshal the beach and is very knowledgeable person and is the man in the know. And finally the lifeguard (I can’t remember his name) but he’s always looking to say hello, he’s just a jolly nice friendly chap. The rooms are lovely and comfortable and have everything you need. The mini bar is topped up daily including nibbles. This is most definitely a picturesque destination, you won’t be disappointed. Read less
