7. Experience The True Spirit Of Mauritius at LUX Belle Mare

The LUX Belle Mare Resort & Villas sits right on the powder-soft sand, looking out on the sapphire Mauritian lagoon. Sweeping views of the sea, palms swaying along with the breeze, and beryl-blue waters right at your feet, the resort unfurls like a tropical dream where you can arrive to do it all or absolutely nothing.

The newly renovated LUX* Belle Mare still holds onto its boutique charm, but now with an added layer of sophistication. Mauritian designer Jean-Marc Tang has worked its magic, giving the sea-facing suites, villas, and public spaces a refreshingly modern-colonial twist. The hotel also offers a "PhotoFanatic" studio, which loans equipment such as GoPros and provides phone tuition to capture that perfect shot. Sustainable initiatives range from learning about marine conservation with NGO Eco-Sud to refillable, own-brand natural toiletries in bathrooms, which are refreshingly different. Don’t miss the "Tree of Wishes," a tradition rooted in cultures around the world where you can take a moment to make a heartfelt wish as part of your stay.

Checking-in to the Beach Vibe

Living with tall, swaying palm trees and the ocean, this resort is all about tranquillity. Imagine waking up to the soothing sounds of crashing waves from one of the 174 luxurious suites or 12 sea-facing villas, each designed to evoke the feel of beach bungalows with white sand tones, coral, and citrus accents. It's the little details that catch your eye—tables cast in reclaimed local sand. Every suite or villa boasts its own outdoor terrace or balcony for a panoramic view.

Choose from six room types, each with its own charm. The garden, pool, or sea-facing Junior Suites feature sand-yellow sofas, bleached ash wood panelling, and cosy daybeds on the balcony. If wellness is more your vibe, the 22 Wellness Junior Suites come equipped with yoga mats, exercise blocks, healthy snacks, a complimentary training session, and spa discounts. For something more indulgent, the Lux Suites dial up the romance with custom wallpaper, a swing bed on the balcony, and outdoor dining cabanas. As for the 12 sleek, spacious villas on the quieter side of the resort, they strike a perfect balance between luxe and homely, with rooms circling a courtyard pool and offering access to a semi-private beach.

What’s the Dining Scene?

The dining experience at Lux Belle Mare is nothing short of a journey around the world. If you’re looking for a fine dining experience, you can head to the resort’s contemporary Indian restaurant, Amari by Vineet. With its pinkish earthy interiors, cool and contemporary murals, ornaments and clay lamps feel like a celebration of India’s vibrant culture. The heady cuisine, a modern interpretation of India’s rich heritage, is signed by Vineet Bhatia, the nation’s first Michelin-starred chef. Choose from the à la carte menu or one of the chef’s exquisite tasting menus.

At MONDO, you’re in for a treat with its melting pot of global flavours—whether it’s French classics, Indian spices, or Asian stir-fries, the live cooking stations make the experience as interactive as it is delicious. Then there’s Beach Rouge— where daytime vibes are all about laid-back lunches by the beach, with fresh seafood and market-style meats, but as the sun sets, the place transforms. A red glow takes over, the DJ starts spinning, and suddenly it feels like you’ve been whisked away to Ibiza or a Greek island for a festive evening.

Duck Laundry is where you go to indulge in mouth-watering Chinese dishes, from family-style favourites to carefully curated tasting menus. And if you’re up early or in need of a pre-dinner pick-me-up, the Aperitivo Bar serves everything from healthy booster shots to creative spritzes, while The Mixologist, with its unbeatable views of the lagoon and pool, is your go-to for signature cocktails. Maison LUX* adds its own charm, starting the day as a chic Milanese café and ending it as a cosy bar, perfect for winding down after a day of sun and sea. And for something truly unique, Rolls Street dishes out Southeast Asian street food from a vintage Rolls Royce parked in the middle of the gardens.

Wellness at the Core

At LUX* Belle Mare, wellness is woven into every experience, guided by the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—that form the foundation of their holistic approach. Whether you're looking to realign your body and mind with fully customisable treatments at the LUX* Me Spa or embrace cutting-edge fitness with Technogym equipment and aerial fitness classes, this is where rejuvenation meets luxury.

The spa is a sanctuary designed to ground you, clear your mind, and uplift your spirit, with everything from personalised treatments to outdoor recovery spaces like saunas, steam rooms, and plunge pools. For a more mindful journey, start your day with a jog on the beach, soak in the sunrise, and reconnect through yoga, either in group sessions or privately, blending body, mind, and nature into perfect harmony. There’s even a guided bicycle tour to explore the surroundings, ensuring that every part of your wellness journey is both relaxing and energising.

A Perfect Day

While you're soaking up the sun and that gorgeous island breeze, LUX* Belle Mare ensures there's never a dull moment—no matter your idea of fun. If you're an adventure junkie, you can enjoy the endless water activities on offer. Fancy a day of windsurfing or gliding across the lagoon in a pedal boat? Or maybe you'd rather go full-on adrenaline with wakeboarding, water skiing, or even scuba diving to explore the depths of the crystal-clear waters. For a more relaxed pace, paddle around on a kayak or take in the stunning marine life through a glass-bottom boat ride. Teens and kids can hang out at PLAY & STUDIO 17, packed with gaming stations, or get active with beach volleyball, football, and kite competitions. The younger ones have a whole world of creativity and adventure waiting for them at PLAY, with a jungle gym for outdoor fun, exciting theme-based activities, and even an Ice Cream Lab to whip up sweet treats.

With the perfect balance of fun, elegance, and sustainability, this resort is designed to cater to every type of traveller—whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or simply some time to reconnect with loved ones, the true spirit of Mauritius shines through, ensuring that your stay is not just memorable but utterly transformative.
