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.

The hotel is amazing - great facilities, restaurants, and in particular the staff who always go above and beyond. The hotel is newly refurbished and all the facilities are new and fresh! Special shout out to the Beach team - who run around in the heat to give you anything and everything you want and Avi, the bartender extraordinaire. Roopesh, who surprised us on our last morning with a lovely glass of fizz at breakfast. The sports team were also brilliant - taking us on on two bike rides in the surrounding areas, such good fun. The staff in all of the restaurants are awesome and will ensure you have a great dining experience. We also visited the spa facilities and had a lovely time - Cynthia and team ensured that we had very relaxing time. The room we had was great and the housekeeping team ensure you return to a spotless room at all times! Would highly recommend and would certainly return in the future! Read less

I spent my birthday with my lovely wife at LUX Belle Mare in the second week of November and for me it was one of the best highlight of this year! As always, we were expecting a top notch service and as always we were not disappointed! even if you are a repeater and the place can be called a second home, the service you get from the staff always feels like the first time. Attention to details are never missed, that genuine smile wherever you go, the precision in service delivery, cleanliness and above all the world-class food and beverage offerings all adds up to give you the best feeling and makes you want to go for more! We will go back again for sure! Thank you to the team especially, Gerhard the GM, Sheila the RM, Tivani, the QAM, Bilall, Jennifer, Elvis, Hema, Gopee, Asha, Isabelle, Satish pool boy, Vijay, Stephane, the team at beach rouge and most importantly Kris who made the day memorable for us...Thank you Read less

The best day use my husband and I had for his special day this year! I had to make sure that the day would go as per my plan so I was in touch with Jennifer constantly. She organised everything for us and even made sure a little birthday cake was served to hubby after lunch. When we arrived we were welcomed with the genuine Mauritian hospitality and warm smile from Isabelle, Leelesh, Hema, Elvis and Gopee. Sheila the Resident Manager and Tivani the Group Quality Manager came to meet us and explained the new concept and additions to the hotel. We were soooo eager to start the day from there on! To start with, we had a few drinks at Mixologist and was so delighted to see that Vijay and Stephano was still there. We head on straight to Beach Rouge where we were welcomed by the ever gentle and friendly or let's be honest here another family member, the delightful Kris😊. And from the moment we sat in the lounge till departure Kris and his team made sure we were always full will food and drinks! (Tips: if you want to enjoy the dishes, make sure you skip breakfast!) On the way to the lobby we had to stop for a scoop of ice-cream at the ICI and Alina was the best. At the end of the day we had to meet with Bilall for a good dose of caffeine from Maison LUX before we hit the road. That was only half of the experiences we could try, we cannot wait to try the other experiences soon. Next on the list would be spending the holidays in the resort! A day is not enough😉 Read less
