Virgin Holidays View
LUX* Grand Gaube has been recently transformed to bring you an even higher standard of luxury. All privately-located villas and suites are sumptuously furnished, overlooking the triple-bay beaches, lagoon and north coast islets. There are also beautiful gardens to wander in; stopping awhile to lounge on colourful beanbags and hammocks dotted beneath coconut, banyan and filao trees. As well as boasting the only resort cinema in Mauritius, there are 4 swimming pools to choose from, each in a breathtaking location. There are also water sports galore, many of them free of charge and land-based activities in abundance, including beach volleyball, tennis and a driving range. A world-class golf course is nearby for the enthusiast and you can hire bikes to explore tropical hillsides or the local markets of Goodlands and the village of Cap Malheureux. The LUX* Me Spa is a true haven, offering a range of indulgent treatments as well as invigorating yoga classes and an array of dynamic exercise classes – tailor-made to keep you in tune with your idyllic surrounds! Dining-wise, you’ll be spoilt for choice, with 5 restaurants serving delicious island-inspired and international dishes. Whilst you dine, local musicians and dancers will keep you entertained, capturing perfectly the rhythm of island life! If you’re on holiday with little ones, keep them occupied at PLAY, their very own kids club hosting a variety of activities and excursions with babysitting an optional extra. Teens are also well catered for at Studio 17, with adventure trips around the island to tempt them, local dance classes and beach sporting tournaments.
