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.

First Impressions From the moment we arrived, the resort made a stunning impression — a beautiful, clean property with impeccably manicured lawns and swaying palm trees that created a soundtrack of nature’s music. The beach boasts vibrant blue waters that look picture-perfect and make for stunning photos. Accommodation There’s a short walk to the hotel rooms, and my room was located at the top level, offering a wonderful sea view. However, climbing two sets of stairs to reach it wasn’t my favorite part. That said, the rooms themselves were spotless and beautifully done. The bed was very comfortable, and we slept well throughout our stay. The sit-out area was gorgeous — perfect for relaxing and also convenient for drying swimwear. Facilities The pool is large and never felt overcrowded, which was a big plus. The hotel provides beach towels, and one thoughtful touch was the placement of water dispensers with ice-cold and flavored water around the property — a great way to stay cool. Dining Breakfast is served at the main restaurant and is truly impressive. The buffet spread is massive, with everything from fresh honey, fruits, juices, kombucha, and more — ideal for a healthy start to the day. The buffet dinner in the same restaurant was equally delightful, offering a global spread with Indian, Asian, Middle Eastern, Italian cuisines, and a wide variety of meats and desserts. The ice creams were a personal favorite! We also dined at the Mediterranean restaurant, which serves delicious pizzas and pastas. One special moment was when Ravine, the manager, offered to curate a dinner specifically for our group of 11 based on our preferences — a kind and memorable gesture that truly stood out. Location & Accessibility Do note that there are no restaurants or convenience stores nearby, so you’re dependent on the hotel for all meals. I highly recommend going half board. The hotel is about 1 hour and 20 minutes from the airport. This part of the island enjoys a lovely breeze and stunning azure waters. While the resort is great for relaxation, it’s a bit far from most sightseeing spots — ideal for those looking to unwind and stay put. Entertainment & Extras There was a short 20-minute Mauritian dance performance, which was entertaining. The hotel also has a boutique shop, and out of the three hotels I visited during my two-week stay in Mauritius, this boutique had the best selection. Things That Could Be Better A few areas could use improvement: • Communication is a challenge, as many staff members speak limited English. This became particularly concerning when a fire alarm went off in our room, and no one could direct us to the evacuation point due to the language barrier. • Service overall isn’t very polished, so don’t expect high-end attentiveness. • The bar drinks were underwhelming — too mild and a bit watered down for my taste. Final Verdict Despite a few hiccups, this resort is a haven for those looking to relax by the beach, indulge in incredible food, and enjoy beautiful surroundings. If that sounds like your dream holiday, Lux Belle Mare is absolutely worth booking. Read less

Excellent service, very helpful and kind staff. The Villa was very peaceful and relaxing. Lots of room. Very clean. Beatiful white beaches right outside, with crystal clear ocean. Great for long walks. All the food was amazing, fresh and great selection. Would come back!

Vijay in the bar was a fantastic host and the hotel was lovely although we had a challenge to keep our spare bed sheet to sleep under as it was too hot for the 13٫5 tog duvet. Lovely place would recommend the hotel it’s lovely. Food on the half board option were fantastic.

This is one of the best hotels we have ever been to. Situated at one of the most beautiful beaches in the island with crystal clear, turquoise water. The room is really spacious, perfectly clean and has everything you need. However this is not only the place that makes your stay fabulous. These are mostly people who make you feel exceptional. All the staff from reception, beach, restaurants and cleaning staff are so kind, helpful and professional. I have to mention two people: Ashveena and Sanjay from Mondo restaurant who take care of us with such kindness and care that we feel like in the family. What’s more they organised a birthday dinner for my husband and they made this evening so emotional and exceptional that we will never forget it. Thank you so much Ashveena and Sanjay. We are extremely grateful to you. Read less
