The hotel

After a makeover in October 2023, the hotel re-opened as a spirited and luxury hotel, 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 Cinema Paradiso. LUX* Belle Mare offers a range of suites and private villas to tempt you, all beautifully designed. Upgrade to a Pool View Junior Suite overlooking the swimming pool or to a Wellness Junior Suite for wellness perks and spa discounts. Looking for a couples escape? The cocoon-like Ocean Suites are nice and private, or if you’re travelling with the children the Beach View Junior 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.

The hotel is wonderful with amazing beach access and great friendly staff throughout. The hotel is a great place to relax and unwind. The restaurants are treat for foodies too with Amari servicing up some of the best Indian dishes i've experienced whilst the Duck Laundry is a must try if you like Chinese cuisine. After a week trekking in Madagascar, a visit to the Lux.me spa was a really joy. Cynthia gave me an excellent haircut and trim that made me feel years younger and Yashina managed to iron out my muscle arches with a 90 minute message. Read less

Unbelievable Honeymoon experience at Lux* Belle Mare! This hotel is beyond any expectations that we had. Everything looks and feels like a Paradise. We would like to also say a special thank you to staff who went above and beyond. Sawan at the Beach Rouge (dinner). We have never experienced such a good dinner service. He was so polite, friendly and very attentive to us and our needs. Always there to recommend something. At the pool we were lucky to have Pravesh. From the morning to the dawn, he was always there to recommend us some amazing cocktails. I have never even had to sit with the menu, it is like he always knew what we needed. Sawan and Pravesh, you are truly the best! Read less

The most fantastic hotel absolute luxury! The suite was fantastic and was kept clean throughout our stay and the mini bar kept stocked wich was a nice addition being all inclusive. The food was fantastic and plenty of choice in every resteraunt, and the staff were friendly, polite and attentive. The Jasper menu from the Duck laundry was my favourite. Me and my wife enjoyed a couples thai massage which was fantastic I had asked for firm pressure which just enough the massage would of been perfect if not for my wife's snoring halfway through (she also really enjoyed it). 😊 The drinks in mixologist and around the pool were our favourite, the cocktails were perfect and strong but not too strong a special thanks to Shar, Vijay, Nitin and Pravesh from the beach for the excellent service throughout our stay and for making us feel welcome. We will definitely return here, hopefully for our anniversary in the future <3 Read less
