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.

Wow! What an absolute jewel this hotel is. From the moment you arrive until the time you depart, the staff go above and beyond to ensure you have the best time. Everyone we met was so friendly and helpful. The main buffet restaurant has a range of freshly cooked foods to suit every taste. The drinks are plentiful. We particularly enjoyed the Beach Rouge and BB’s burgers for lunch times. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need. The mini bar and snacks are replenished daily. The coffee shop near Reception is a nice touch. The water sports are plentiful and free of charge – paddle boarding, pedaloes, glass bottom boat, kayaking- and staff are on hand to give you advice if you need it. We were a family of 5 adults with two special birthdays being celebrated. The first, a 60th, was spent in the Bodrum Blue restaurant with a cake provided. The second, a 30th, had a last minute change of restaurant but Diren and his team managed to track us down in the bar to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ and give my son his birthday cake – such is their dedication to customer service! Special mention to Diren and his team in the Palm Court bar & restaurant; Liam for keeping us supplied with drinks on the beach and Sucheeta for wonderful housekeeping. Thank you to everyone at Lux Grand Gaube for an amazing holiday and we would love to return in the future! Read less

Our 2nd trip to Lux GG - same time as last year. Everything seemed a bit more vibrant & buzzing this year, but the service and staff still have the same wonderful, friendly service. Too many names to mention individually as each & every one we met or passed walking through the hotel & grounds had the same ready smile & greeting. Although Manish certainly made our day keeping our room beautiful & welcoming with her towel art & flowers. We ate in Palm Court most evenings as the choice of Food was just as good as before, lunches though we used BB’s, Creole Smoke House & Beach Rouge Each had a favourite dish we kept going back for! We love the peace & tranquility of the adult beach & spent most days there. Even with an umbrella when the rain came down 😂 The only thing I would say is that some evenings the music in the Palm Court bar area was quite loud early on, when trying to relax with a drink. So perhaps turn the speakers down a tad. But all in all a fantastic relaxing break & I am sure we will be back for a 3rd visit! Thanks team Read less
