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.

We started at Lux Belle Mare for one week and it exceeded every expectation we had. We are regular visitors to Mauritius and Lux Belle Mare is definitely one of the best hotels on the island. From the moment we arrived the staff made us feel at home and they were accommodating and friendly. The first room assigned to us had a slight humidity problem and Umesh the brilliant manager at the front desk promptly resolved the issue and moved us to another room with no hesitation. Worth special mention was Hema, Flavia, Faiz and Elvis at the front desk who all made us feel so welcome. The room was beautiful and big enough for four of us, there were plenty of towels provided and the bed was extremely comfortable with massive down feather pillows. The rooms are also well insulated from noise so we slept very well. The kids club was wonderful and our children enjoyed every day spent there, the staff were brilliant, with special thanks to Usha, Ashwanee and Oralee. Activities ranged from pizza making, to crab hunting, movie nights, arts and crafts. It was a great way of keeping the kids entertained (and cool) during long, hot days. The highlight of the resort is undoubtedly the food which is of an impeccable standard. Even for someone who doesn’t love buffets, we found this buffet satisfied every craving we had and the quality was exceptional. From the fresh pastries at breakfast to the incredible curries at dinner, the buffet has something for everyone. Beach Rouge offers great meals with an unmatched view of the beach, although it can be incredibly hot on the patio. The pizzas were delicious. The Royce Street food truck is very cool and serves great, unpretentious street food that you can take to the beach or pool. We also ate at Duck Laundry which served one of the best peking ducks I’ve ever had. The cocktails at all the bars were delicious and well made. It’s hard to find any fault with such a lovely resort and we will definitely return. Thank you to everyone at Lux Belle Mare for an unforgettable holiday. Read less

Having stayed at a number of equivalent rated hotels on the island, this hotel and in particularly the Private villa that we had, was head and shoulders above all the others we’ve stayed at. All staff we interacted with were superb but villa team led by Mahen with Benji were particularly impressive.

Govind and his team at the Indian buffet provided an outstanding experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was truly 5-star. A special mention to Rohin, our waiter, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Exceptional service all around – highly recommended!

Our main team of Mahen & Benji as well as Kherti, Deoraj & Sammy and Girish on the beach catered for all our needs. Always ready with smiles and offers of help, they gave us great advice, managed our restaurant bookings, organised snorkelling and came by with little treats. We loved all the crazy animals made from towels and the evening canapés were so varied and delicious. We have never been looked after so well. Thank you all. Excellent yet discrete service - we will be back. Suren - your team is fab ! Read less

We recently stayed here for 2 nights as an engagement celebration and were very disappointed by the lack of communication and service throughout our stay. We booked a junior wellness suite which had several inclusions hence why we booked it, then upon arrival which was a very confusing process in itself and several times we were just left sitting in the lobby for 10 minutes unsure what was happening. But none of the check in staff had any idea about the package or what we were celebrating despite me trying to email them several times to clarify what we had included and if we could please organise something special. Upon checking in we were also told our whole room was paid for as we thought, however on check out we were charged the whole room fee. Unsure what the mixup was but that was very disappointing to happen at a hotel of this caliber for a very expensive room. At the restaurants we found it to be overpriced for what the meals were which was also disappointing given how much we had already paid and we did not get the inclusions that were mentioned in our package as apparently it didn’t exist anymore despite still being advertised on the website. It was hugely annoying that we paid so much for this stay and were so looking forward to it and it was beyond dismal. We will not be staying again or recommending it. Read less
