LUX Belle Mare

LUX Belle Mare is the east coast's most fashionable resort address, positioned between the formal grandeur of the Constance properties and the boutique intimacy of smaller hotels. The design has a deliberate editorial quality — Bauhaus-influenced furniture, contemporary Mauritian art in every corridor, and a colour palette that references the beach at dusk rather than the tropical clichés of coconut and coral. The beach is a long, genuinely beautiful stretch of Belle Mare sand, with a reef 200 metres offshore that keeps the lagoon flat and clear for morning swims. Dining is a genuine strength: SOLE on the beach serves raw bar and grilled seafood from early morning to midnight; Tides is the formal signature restaurant with a contemporary Mauritian tasting menu; and the Beach Rouge bar is the east coast's closest equivalent to a Saint-Tropez beach club, with DJs on weekend afternoons and a cocktail list created by a rotating guest bartender programme. The LUX spa is rooted in the brand's proprietary 'Fit & Me' wellness approach, combining Ayurveda with sports science. The resort draws a European and Australasian clientele with a design and food sensibility — people who appreciate that the attention to detail here extends from the restaurant menu to the weighting of the bathrobe.
