Modern and playful but also mindful, with a focus on local experiences, creative dining, and chic design, LUX*’s award-winning resorts in the Indian Ocean are places to celebrate life – and from which to return home with unforgettable memories. Wellness is also at the heart of the offering, showcased by the group’s spa brand, LUX* Me, which is based on sustainably sourced, organic ingredients.
Indeed, this group is an industry leader in sustainable development including looking after local communities, and all resorts are on track to receive the Butterfly Mark - the luxury industry's leading sustainability certification. This can be seen in a raft of eco-friendly measures, including zero food waste. All restaurants at LUX* also include nutritious plant-based dishes under the label Keen on Green, from the laidback cafés and beach clubs to the show-stopping speciality restaurants. They each offer pioneering dining from talented chefs, drawing inspiration from cultures across the globe, distinctive ingredients, and the latest trends.
LUX* has one property in the Maldives and four in Mauritius. At the LUX* South Ari Atoll in the Maldives, you can ride your bike along the jetty, swim alongside whale sharks, hang out in your bungalow on stilts, dine at eight restaurants, dance the night away, and take part in marine conservation, all in one holiday. The resort also stands out for having one of the world’s largest overwater solar panels, which provides more than 30% of the resort’s total energy consumption.
In Mauritius, you have the enviable choice of LUX* Grand Baie Resort & Residences, LUX* Belle Mare Resort & Villas, LUX* Le Morne Resort, and LUX* Grand Gaube Resort & Villas. All combine tropical island living with fascinating local activities and mindfulness offerings, which are perfect for a digital detox. LUX* Le Morne Resort has even received the Worldwide Hospitality Awards’ Best Initiative in Sustainable Development for managing its food waste, which includes redistributing food to school children in need. Located on the wild west coast, the resort is on hand for Le Morne mountain, the Black River gorges, surf and kitesurf spots, and a dolphin habitat.
On the most coveted beach of Mauritius, in the heart of Grand Bay, LUX* Grand Baie has a sensational spa, the Indian Ocean’s first fully-fledged outdoor rooftop wellness experience, and two 30-metre Olympic standard running tracks. But of course, there’s relaxation aplenty on the beach or around four pools, and many of the villas, penthouses, and residences also have their own pools.
LUX* Belle Mare Resort & Villas also attracts wellbeing lovers with its Wellness Junior Suites, which come with a yoga mat, exercise blocks, a complimentary coaching session at the gym, and discounts at the spa. Also unique is its vintage 1933 Hooper limousine Rolls Royce serving Southeast Asian cuisine comfort dishes in the middle of the gardens, including barbecue pork buns and Vietnamese spring rolls.
On the north coast of Mauritius, LUX* Grand Gaube Resort & Villas is a tropical retro-chic resort featuring an adults-only zone base around an ancient banyan tree, with a Creole smokehouse, the Rum Treehouse cabana, and the French Kiss Bar in a restored classic Citroen H van. There are even on-site hives to save bee populations and produce local honey for guests.
