The dazzling sun breaks through a palm tree amid the stunning beach at LUX* Belle Mare, Mauritius

LUX* Belle Mare Resort & Villas, Mauritius, Indian Ocean

from £3,560pp

LUX* Belle Mare Resort & Villas, Mauritius

Whitewashed and care-free, LUX* Belle Mare epitomises the glamorous side of island life on Mauritius’ east coast. Here you’ll find tropical luxury at its most chic, where palm-sprinkled gardens and fragrant flowers envelope the resort’s thatch-topped buildings. It feels every inch the modern beach resort, like the cool kid everyone wanted to be friends with at school.

Among this comprehensive modern outlook, there’s plenty to ensure your stay feels indulgent, including a unique wellness safari that takes your spa experience to a stratospheric level and the red Martone bicycles you can borrow for a wider exploration of the island. Even the mere presence of a 1933 Rolls Royce parked in the grounds, used to chaffeur the Queen Mother around when she visited Mauritius in 1958, takes your breath away. One place you do need to make sure you visit is LUX* Belle Mare’s Tree of Wishes, if only to close your eyes tightly and pray for a return to this uber-cool tropical escape someday soon.

Highlights

Sleep

The contemporary-style suites at LUX* Belle Mare are all carefully positioned either along the sugar-white sands or among the well-manicured tropical gardens. All of them are angled so you can enjoy shimmering Indian Ocean views, no matter where you choose to stay.

You really feel like you're staying in a luxury beach house at LUX* Belle Mare, with all of its accommodation based in modern whitewashed buildings with thatched roofs. Inside, the fresh interiors are all down to the genius of renowned designer Jean-Marc Tang, with the soothing whites and light woods evoking elegant relaxation. That's not to say there isn't room for splashes of vibrant character, as the bed throws and cushions. Comfort is king though and the comfy-as-a-cloud LUX* Sleep Tight mattresses, handsomely stocked bathrooms and furnished balconies and terraces so you can gaze at the ocean for as long as you wish.

If you're honeymooners or looking for a romantic break you'll love the Ocean Suites and their privacy. The 12 villas are even more spacious and are akin to staying in a little beachfront village, with the cluster of villas set around a courtyard in a horseshoe shape and with their own semi-private beach.
