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.

The setting is stunning, the food was excellent and the hotel were so brilliant with our son - he has an egg allergy and they catered special food for him for all of his meals. The room was equipped with everything you’d need for a baby. The staff entertained him so that we could eat in peace and were generally so wonderful. They provided bottled water so we could make up his formula too. We couldn’t recommend the hotel more! The perfect place for a family. Special thanks to Delvon, Selena, Durgesh and Valerie who were all very kind to us at Bodrum Blue! Read less

We have just returned from the LUX Grande Gaube, after a holiday of a life time for our honeymoon. From start to finish the staff made our holiday, so welcoming, cared for our every need and made it a truly unforgettable stay. A huge and special mention and thank you to the beach team, Reedo, the beach manager and Kumar. They went above and beyond every day to make our days so special and relaxing. Our towels would be laid out every morning waiting for us, our glasses cleaned hourly by the main man Reedo and our own cool box kept stocked up during the day and cocktails galore, literally couldn't do enough for us. Not only the service they exceeded in, but even educating us on all things Mauritius and recommending the best tours and places to see. The team at Cafe LUX also deserve a special mention, especially Chetan for the best iced coffees and flat whites on the island. Also like to thank the water sports team for keeping my husband entertained, with his daily water skiing, paddle boarding and water sports all which where included on our all inclusive. All inclusive was worth every single penny getting to enjoy all the restaurants on the resort, with amazing freshly made food daily from high end dining in Bodrum Blue, by far our favourite spot, thanks to Doorgesh and Luvneen and their team, 10/10 food with the the service to match, to the relaxed chilled afternoons and the best burgers at BBs Burger Shack, we couldnt fault a single meal and each resteraunt had the staff to match. Every meal was faultless. We stayed in the wellness suit wow what an amazing room with the views to match, watching the sunsets and a few sunrises was a real highlight. Every last detail of the rooms and layout was so well designed providing us with the most relaxing and romantic stay in such spacious rooms. Rooms where stocked up daily with food, drink and amenities, amazing housekeeping team. We couldnt thank the whole team enough for making our honeymoon so magical. We’re already looking to book next year and can’t wait to return! Read less
