Lux* Belle Mare, Mauritius

We had the most amazing family holiday and the Villas at this resort are out of this world with exceptional attention to detail and unparalleled service. The resort as a whole is exceptional with food that is consistently good in all respects and no matter where it is eaten (there are lots of options at the resort). We would highly recommend this resort

This resort is paradise, absolutely stunning white beaches and beautiful sea. We enjoyed the water sports activities, the outdoor cinema and the hidden bottles were a nice touch. The room was modern, clean and comfortable. Big shout out to Delores for the amazing service. The hotel let you enjoy the facilities until you leave for the airport. A few reasons why it wasn’t a 5-star review. I felt there were teething problems, very slow service for food and drinks, however the steak was ordered it would come medium, served cold food a couple of times and mischarged for drinks when all inclusive. The menu was never changed so if you’re here for a while the food can get boring if you only use the two main restaurants. We also had a struggle getting sunbeds, loads on the beach but nowhere near enough by the pool. The spa was nice but you need to book in advance as it was impossible to get a slot at a decent time. Not the fault of the resort, but lack of planning on our part. It’s very isolated so not ideal for doing trips around Mauritius or for generally strolling in the area. This is really a resort for peace and total R&R. We wish we’d considered a shorter trip and visited another part of the island rather than spending a week in the one place.

A one week visit to LUX Belle Mare just eleven days after the resort opened following a fire in 2022 proved to be thoroughly rewarding and relaxing with no signs of any disorganisation after such a prolonged shutdown. This was our sixth visit to the island and the fourth different resort, so we had a good base against which to judge this LUX unit. We picked the All Inclusive (AI) option and recommend this if budgets allow as it allows wide freedom of choice and virtually no admin/accounting hassles. Our "home" was a Junior Suite with pool view that allowed very easy access to the resort's primary facilities but which shut out noises from the pool area. The suite is smartly decorated in a restrained way and was spotlessly clean. A HUGE bed and lovely soft pillows made for good sleeping while the spacious bathroom with separate tub and shower blessed with endless hot water under good pressure, added to the feel good factor. The main restaurant overlooking a huge and beautifully clean pool was used daily for breakfast and became our prime choice for dinner too as the quality and variety of food offered was simply the best we have ever experienced on the island. Three other a la carte restaurants are on site, with the casual Beach Rouge outlet being fully accessible on the AI package while the more specialised Indian and Chinese outlets offered discounts for guests on A1. I think I'm correct in stating that the latter was fully accessible on A1 before the fire. Its present partial exclusion from this package I regard as a little mean given the significant premium charged for AI. A number of "bars" allowed for easy quenching of thirsts but it was the main bar alongside that gorgeous pool that became our social home. An endless variety of drinks is offered and the crew carried out their duties with a most pleasant disposition. Indeed, the attitude of all the staff was standout in that without exception, they all appeared to be enjoying their jobs and in so doing, added to the most pleasant environment evident in this unit. For the most part, speed of delivery of service was good, but a large influx of guests and their young children from the UK on around day 4, slowed things down a tad but not to the point of annoyance! We must also mention that the GM was very much in evidence at all times and took the trouble to communicate with guests wherever he went. On a specific point, I questioned the apparently illogical exclusion of zero alcohol bottled beer from the AI package and within minutes, this exclusion was reversed and my account credited for earlier "purchases." We also noted that sun shades situated on the beautiful beach, blessed with powdery sand and very little foot snagging coral, had service "buttons" attched to their respective supports, so getting refreshments while lounging alongside the Indian Ocean was never a problem. A variety of water-based leisure facilites is offered, but we did not use these. Our holiday was certainly p

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

“An unforgettable honeymoon experience at Lux Belle Mare Mauritius! From the moment we arrived, we were treated to exceptional service and warm hospitality. The upgrade to a luxury suite was a delightful surprise, and the attention to detail throughout our stay was truly remarkable. The resort showered us with gifts and surprises, making our honeymoon extra special. From romantic dinners on the beach to relaxing spa treatments, every moment was magical. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect start to our life together. Thank you, Lux Belle Mare, for an unforgettable experience!”

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

We organized a company visit with four couples for a week. The team at LUX* Belle Mare went WAY beyond expectations to make this visit exceptional for each person. The dining is impeccable, the pool worth enjoying for a full day. And the beach is one of the best on the island. But it is the TEAM – their spirit and their service – that really make this place so special. Worth the travel, worth the investment, worth every moment of our time. I will be back next time with family for a longer stay.

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.
