The hotel

After a makeover by London designer Kelly Hoppen, this hotel is the epitome of cool, occupying a dream location overlooking a pristine stretch of beach washed by sparkling azure waters. It’s also home to one of the island’s largest swimming pools, take a dip or treat yourself to a fresh, low-fat ice cream packed with island fruits from the 'ici' vendors. You'll also find some quirky LUX* touches, such as their own blend of coffee roasted on site, a pop-up restaurant and the beach cinema. LUX* Belle Mare offers a range of suites & private villas to tempt you, all beautifully designed. Upgrade to a Pool View Junior Suite overlooking the swimming pool or to a Romantic Junior Suite for a quieter location. For a really special occasion, the Honeymoon Suite is nothing short of sublime or if you’re travelling with the children the Family Suites are very spacious. It’s the little touches here that make all the difference, a British red phone box, for example, a novel way to call home! Exciting amenities include an impressive list of water sports with probably something new to try every day of your holiday. As for restaurants, you’ve several to choose from. MONDO specialises in worldwide cuisine, whilst at Amari by Vineet, you can enjoy Indian delights fit for a maharajah.

A very special hotel with staff that look after you from the moment you arrive! The food is amazing and the staff in beach rouge Sawan, Divya, Pratish and the manager Kris always were friendly with a big friendly smile ensuring all our needs were met. Amar always made sure we had the red wine we loved and would even come to find us to make sure we had everything we wanted. In the mixologist bar the entertainment in the evening was chilled and very good and the servers Avi, Nitin always made us the best cocktails and were so friendly Bhawoo and Kavish, Ravin also worked amazingly. These bar staff were always making sure we were happy and had what we wanted and often bringing us the drinks they knew we liked. Duck laundry also gave us incredible food and 2 wonderful evenings Rikish introduced us to the yummy vanilla Rum and again went above and beyond to give us the best experience. Amari the Indian Resturant gave us a great time with fabulous food whilst watching them cook with the tandoor ovens and even invited us into the kitchen to see their amazing team at work. A special shout out to Gopee who was on concierge and so quick to solve any issues calmly and quickly. Also our fabulous house keeper Geeta who kept are room beautiful and made sure all our needs were met. What a team and what a special hotel thank you and remember ‘You’ll never walk alone! See you again from the Hantons Read less

Such an amazing resort to spend your family vacation at! My husband, our two girls, and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this resort. It's incredibly beautiful and relaxing, with a charm that sets it apart from other resorts. Rooms: The rooms were spacious and clean, with a very beachy vibe in their colors. The dressing room was perfect for all our suitcases. Food: The food was very tasty. We dined at Mondo, Beach Rouge, and Amari, and all the meals were delicious. My husband particularly enjoyed the masala dosa for breakfast and the lovely pasta made by Aditi. The only feedback I have is that maybe the Indian restaurant could offer more vegetarian options. Team: Every team member at the resort was lovely. Ghada, who checked us in, was great throughout our stay, always smiling. Hurrish, the housekeeping manager, was such a humble gentleman who promptly resolved an issue we had with the room on our first day and checked daily to ensure everything was okay. The housekeeping staff did a great job cleaning the rooms twice daily. Jennifer from celebrations was such a lovely lady who made our stay very memorable. If you need anything special planned, she will go above and beyond to try to meet your requirements. It was delightful speaking to her daily. Gerald from the boat house was a really friendly gentleman. Thank you to his team. Yashveer and Kishan (at Maison LUX*) - Thank you for making such enjoyable coffees for us. It was always nice chatting with you both. Umesh, thank you for your generosity and for making our stay end on a high note. Overall, all the team members at the resort were really lovely. The GM himself asked about how our stay was at the resort. A big thank you to everyone at LUX* Belle Mare. We look forward to visiting again in the future. Read less

Room: as soon as you walk in your first welcomed by the most incredibly fresh scent - it was intoxicating. We stayed in a superior room and for the 2 of us it was the perfect size. The design of the room was very relaxing, it had a coastal vibe with pops of colour but nothing too distracting. When we had issues maintenance were quick to fix it. Our housekeepers did a great job! The amenities were fab, they thought of everything. Food and drink: We stayed here for 5 nights with an all inclusive package (AIP). Highly recommend doing so as food and drinks can be quite expensive but very much worth it! The quality of food was incredible and each restaurant had different menus and very different from the other. Mondo: We loved the buffet at Mondo which overlooked the main pool. They changed the menu daily so you can’t get bored. Their cold section was great and we especially enjoyed the Indian and Chinese corner for delicious, authentic dishes. Pork dishes were highlighted so easy to avoid, however need to be aware that dishes with alcohol aren’t always labelled (not suitable for halal diet). Beach rouge: gorgeous restaraunt on the beach, specialising in European cuisine. This place was great as it was included in the AIP. We really enjoyed the truffle pizza, burrata and steak frites that we ordered it a second day! Royce restaurant: For smaller bites, they have a street food area where you can eat with your feet in the sand - we really loved the beef, chicken and prawn skewers. Drinks: as we do not drink alcohol, often you find that mocktails can be uninspiring and too sweet. At this resort each restaurant had signature mocktails you could try alongside the regular soft drinks and classic mocktails. I had the best pina colada I’ve ever tasted and my favourite drink at the mixologist bar was ‘The healing touch’ which was a drink with lychee, pear, mint and jasmine tea. Facilities: attached to the resort there is a boat house where there’s plenty of activities (most included in AIP and other weren’t). We really enjoyed the spa which had great jacuzzi, sauna steam room and we really enjoyed the couples massage. Staff: The team went above and beyond to make our stay memorable from the time we arrived to the time we left. Huge shoutout to Jennifer, the celebration manager who as soon as she found out we were here for our wedding anniversary gave us the celebration package which included classes, spa voucher and dinner at the restaurant not included in the AIP. Not only that, she knew I wanted to go dolphin sightseeing and arranged it for our us at our next hotel (lux le morne). While the location of the resort is a bit further out from most excursions. Booking excursions and sightseeing you don’t have to worry about a thing, Gopee helped us with arranging taxis at reasonable prices and getting us fast track entry and vip service at La Vallee National Park. The reception staff were also amazing during our stay, we told them that we loved the scent in our room and on the last day gifted us with a room spray in that scent! By the end of the stay, we felt very emotional having to leave. Looking forward to coming back! Read less
