Indulging Maurtius

Lynde-Lee Opperman on 19 May 2012
So, just when you think you have "been, seen, and finished" with Mauritius, something new and fresh pops up. Welcome LUX* Island Light! Lighter and Brighter. 5 Star properties with unique features. LUX* calls it "50 reasons to go...”, and are they just!! From coffee that is roasted and ground on the premises, the ice cream kiosk with freshly made ice cream and waffle cones to the secret treasure chest bar and the hidden message in a bottle which wins you a prize. Every day is a new fantasy. And, because the experience is so fantastical, you will want to call home - that is one of the other 50 reasons - find the "red call box" and call home for free – at any time of day or night for the whole duration of your stay! I had the privilege of being a guest at LUX* Belle Mare. From the Beach Junior Suites to the Maharajah Suite, you are guaranteed to be impressed. The rooms are all are sea facing with a balcony or terrace. The bathrooms are marble with a separate bath and shower. The mattresses are dream material - to set the mood for a "sleep tight" experience. Scattered around the resort are hammocks and bean bags. At night they are used for impromptu al fresco cinema. Yes, you guessed it - a cinema on the beach. Breads, pizzas, fruit and vegetables and water, all produced on the premises, or by locals nearby. The water is bottled in recyclable glass bottles. The wine is bottled and labelled especially for LUX* As for the little ones - all is taken care of with the wonderful LUX* PLAY. Whether it is treasure hunts, sand castle competitions, water or land sports, or cake icing - kids are happy and cared for. So, next time you think, Mauritius, been there, done that....think again, and give me a call. I would love to send you the full 50 reasons to go, and share more information on these wonderful LUX* properties. Truly a new favourite on Mauritius.
