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.

We've just returned from a stay at LUX Grand Gaube and it was outstanding from start to finish. The hotel itself is beautiful. The grounds, the rooms, the whole setting. But what truly elevated this trip was the service. Every single interaction felt genuine and attentive. The staff didn't just do their jobs well. They made us feel like guests in someone's home. A special mention to Akshay, Anish and Rishi, who all went above and beyond throughout our stay. And the beach service team deserves their own round of applause: Viresh, Maxwell, Reedoo, Kumar, Niantso, Chirag, Liam, Malkom, Scuf and Goranah. These guys were fantastic. Always attentive, always smiling, always one step ahead. They made every day by the water a pleasure. The food was stunning. Not just good-for-a-hotel good. Genuinely impressive across every restaurant. We found ourselves looking forward to every meal, which says a lot. We would highly recommend LUX Grand Gaube to anyone considering Mauritius. The combination of a gorgeous property, world-class food and staff who clearly love what they do makes it a very special place. We'll be back! Read less

Celebrating our one-year anniversary at Lux Grand Gaube was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by breathtaking beauty, peaceful vibes, and an atmosphere that made every second feel special. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning! From the thoughtfully designed spaces to the incredible facilities on site, everything adds that extra touch of luxury and comfort. Whether it was relaxing by the water, enjoying the amazing dining options, or simply taking in the serene surroundings, every detail made our stay even more memorable. What truly made this experience unforgettable, though, was the people. We were lucky enough to meet some incredible individuals who turned a beautiful stay into a deeply personal and heartwarming memory. The warmth, kindness, and genuine care we received went far beyond expectations. A very special shoutout to Kunal, Sandeep, Rishi, Kevin, Balbir, and Sun! You all made our stay extraordinary. Your attention to detail, friendly smiles, and dedication to making every moment perfect did not go unnoticed. You didn’t just provide service; you created memories we will cherish forever. Thank you for making our anniversary so special. We leave with full hearts and can’t wait to return ! With heartfelt thanks on behalf of Room 2162! (Obaydul & Halima) Read less

This hotel in Mauritius completely exceeded our expectations and brought such an amazing start to our trip. From the moment we arrived, there was a youthful, energetic atmosphere that made everything feel exciting and alive. One of the absolute highlights was the beach. It was truly pristine, with crystal-clear water and soft white sand that looked like something out of a postcard. It was the perfect place to relax during the day and soak in the beauty of the island. The staff (especially the lovely Mr Elvis) were fantastic throughout our stay always smiling, approachable, and full of positive energy, making us feel so welcome. What we loved the most was how the hotel managed to feel both vibrant and comforting at the same time. It had that lively buzz, yet still felt like a place you could completely unwind. Such an unforgettable stay we left with great memories and can’t wait to return! Read less
