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 had the most wonderful stay at LUX Grand Gaube*! 🌴✨ The atmosphere in the restaurants was absolutely delightful, and every meal was a true culinary experience – special thanks to Yasser and the whole team for their outstanding work. A heartfelt thank you to Shusita (apologies if I misspelled the name) for taking such great care of our room and for always making us feel so comfortable. Your kindness and dedication did not go unnoticed. We were also touched by the warm smiles at the reception and the genuine kindness of the young gentleman at the entrance, who welcomed us every time with such joy – he was simply wonderful. These were truly unforgettable holidays, and we cannot wait to come back! 💛 Read less

In particular, Shehbiir made our whole room experience very comfortable with a lot of personal touches. Mario and Ainnie at Junk Art were excellent and really patient with my terrible sewing skills. The head pastry chef was also extremely helpful with us, helping us locate the hug me honey which we are bringing back as gifts. Overall the experience was really pleasant in a fantastic location, from checking in with Christoph to leaving (sadly) today. The chefs and kitchen staff in particular are helpful and welcoming and the experience at the restaurants was generally very positive. I particularly enjoyed the gym and Padel activities which were put on during the week. Read less
