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.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at this beautiful resort last year and loved it so much that we relocated to Mauritius in February 2026. We went back to spend our one year anniversary this month and they blew us away yet again. This resort is magnificent with a separate adult beach and pool if you wanting a quite couples getaway. The staff are unbelievably friendly, engaging, helpful, accommodating and are always ready to go the extra mile for you and make you feel special and important. My wife has celiac disease and we always run the risk of places not providing a range of gluten free products and have no understanding of cross contamination, this resort happily caters for all dietary requirements and will even prepare items not on the menu to meet your needs and have full knowledge of the importance of getting this right. I have stayed in many resorts around the world, and this one has become my favorite! We stayed in the Wellness Junior Suit on both stays which I highly recommend, amenities are incredible, the room is pure luxury and just a few meters from the adult beach. I have no doubt all the rooms are of the highest standard. Even though we now live in Mauritius, we will keep going to stay here or to visit their restaurants as the food is amazing! Giyani and his team are absolutely world class. Extremely welcoming to the LGBTQIA+ community as everyone is welcome in Mauritius! Read less

Our stay at Lux Grand Gaube was nothing short of amazing. We had a stay of 8 nights as a family vacation with two young children which was incredible. In addition Ramesh, Maadhvi, Yessir and Viresh made every meal time a joy. Which can be difficult when dining with young children. The buffet at Palm Court had a wonderful array of food. Chef Deepak, Chef Singh, Chef Ramen really looked after us especially concerning our dietary requirements. They truly went above and beyond and made the food an incredible highlight of our visit whilst always being extremely friendly and approachable they produced the best food and variety we have had at any hotel stay. InTi and Bodrum Blue were wonderful. Again providing speciality quisines catered bespokely for our requirements of being vegetarian and sattvic (no onion and no garlic). Our daughter (4 years old) had the best time enjoying a wide array of different activities at the kids club and I’d like to thank all those at the kids club for looking after her so well, especially Deepa. Definitely looking forward to returning again in the future! Read less

We had an amazing time popping champagne and sipping piña coladas at the resort’s private beach over three days. To make the experience even better, we had the wonderful team led by Reedoo, who ensured our tables were never empty. The best thing about him and his team is that even if you’re a bit clueless about the cuisine or your choice of spirits, they provide excellent recommendations that are definitely worth trying. I wish Reedoo and his team all the very best—keep up the great work! Read less

This was an exceptional hotel, with outstanding Customer Care. From the moment we got there, the staff made us feel welcome and well looked after. Deepuck Immediately came to us upon check-in and gave us a tour of breakfast, indicating which dishes were gluten-free. He checked in with us every single day and made sure that there were gluten-free desserts made, especially for us, and that each restaurant was aware of our food, allergies before we arrived. He even managed to order in some gluten-free beer for my partner. Siren also made sure to bring us the best coffees from the coffee bar each morning. Chetan was the friendliest barista and always made the perfect cappuccino. Overall, we had a lovely stay. The food in every restaurant was superb and fresh. We loved spending time in the adults only pool area - and we were very happy that we never had to worry about getting a comfy lounge chair. Read less
