LUX* Belle Mare Hotel in Mauritius(formerly beau rivage)

Chris Goldring, Mauritius

The rooms at the LUX* Belle Mare were some of the most luxurious I saw in Mauritius. The villas in particular were ultra modern and very chic. The hotel offers great service and is very elegant in style. It is a very personal opinion but I preferred the ambiance of two of LUX* Belle Mare’s sister hotels, LUX* Grand Gaube and LUX* Le Morne, although in saying that neither of them can compete with the luxury offered by the villas at LUX* Belle Mare and do remember that LUX* Belle Mare is the only 5 star deluxe of the Naide group in Mauritius.

  • Chris Goldring

The 5 star deluxe LUX* Belle Mare, is a luxury hotel where the traveller feels at ease. Located on a superb beach on the east of the island, the atmosphere is one of relaxed elegance, without being ostentatious. The environment is always welcoming and it is just the place to unpack and relax.

The majestic and spacious lobby has a large pool opening onto a crystal-clear swimming pool and the aquamarine lagoon. Lush gardens and a beautiful beach extend into ocean facing suites and villas and dotted throughout the resort are a choice of 4 restaurants where you can enjoy the culinary delights of Mauritius. A luxury spa and numerous activities enjoy that a stay at the LUX* Belle Mare will be as action packed or as relaxing as you make it.


Room Types

Our Comments and Suggestions on choosing a Room Type:

If money is no object go straight for the villas which are out of this world. If it is, and you love the look of the LUX* Belle Mare then the entry level junior suites still offer a high degree of luxury as you would expect in a 5 star deluxe hotel. The distinguishing feature of honeymoon suites is the four poster bed.

The Junior Suites are each 60 m². Each have terraces looking out over the lush tropical gardens down to the sparkling lagoon. Red and rust-coloured tones tastefully blend with the mahogany wood panels and blinds. Each suite is equipped with a king size bed, a dressing room and spacious bathroom with a large walk-in shower, two wash basins, a bath and separate toilets. Butler service is available on request. Many of the Junior Suites have interconnecting suites adjoining.

The Lagoon Suites are 90 m² and offer wonderful views of the lagoon. Picture yourself watching the moon rising on the silvery sea as you relax in your bath! The suite has a spacious room with a huge bed, a bathroom with separate shower, toilet and whirlpool, as well as a large terrace with deck chairs facing the ocean and a table for breakfast at sunrise.

The Honeymoon Suites are 100 m². A four-poster bed dominates the room. The Honeymoon Suites wraps newlyweds in an exotic, colonial feeling and the voluptuous atmosphere is enhanced by the softness and charm of Brazilian rosewood flooring. The large terrace is ideal for a romantic breakfast or for a candlelit dinner.

The African Senior Suite is 100 m² with direct access to the garden. The suite is in the style of a luxury African hut and is complete with masks, grass furnishings and rustic solid wood furniture.

The Chinese Suite is a refined and richly decorated gem of a suite celebrates the Asian art-de-vivre. Close attention has been brought to every single detail, from the antique Chinese pottery to the finest quality silk decorations.

The Maharajah Suite is 240 m². This sumptuous suite indeed reflects the dream lifestyle of Maharajahs. Exquisitely crafted doors open on this magic place to reveal rich and opulent finery. Entirely decorated with furniture and accessories brought directly from India, the suite’s luxury is simply awe-inspiring.

The private rooftop solarium can be accessed from an internal staircase. A connecting Junior Suite is also available for those with a family or a couple of friends.

Weddings

LUX* Belle Mare has great experience in welcoming honeymoon couples and in organising weddings in the most beautiful of tropical settings - but there can never be more than one wedding on any given day as, on your special day, the team will be looking only after you. Guests who have a specific date in mind should make sure they book early!

Traditional Weddings

Various wedding options are possible, including the extravagantly oriental Royal Indian Wedding.

As in Indian tradition, before the wedding day the bride will choose her flowers, jewellery and saris and the groom, if he wishes, a smart Indian costume. The Hindu ceremony begins in the morning with ritual ceremonies and beauty treatments in the Spa. There is tea in the afternoon in the Maharajah Suite, when the bride’s hands are decorated with Mehendi, a traditional Indian art form. The gazebo is sumptuously decorated for the wedding ceremony, presided over by a Civil Officer, followed by a blessing ceremony performed by a Hindu priest. A champagne toast follows back in the Suite, followed by dinner and a special dance routine. Pure Oriental magic! A hostess is there to help the couple at all times and to look after all the arrangements.

More traditional weddings take place either in the gazebo or on the beach itself, conducted by a Civil Officer. After aperitifs, a romantic dinner follows either in the gazebo, on the beach, on your own terrace or at a specially set table in one of the restaurants. A special champagne wedding breakfast is brought to the newly-married couple next morning in their bedroom. To make their holiday even more romantic, honeymooners and wedding couples can opt for a whole range of extras, including a horse-drawn carriage, candlelit dinners on the beach, Sega dancers and French champagne. To make the wedding day perfect, you can also add sessions in the Spa, a manicure and pedicure and a leisurely hour or two with the hairdresser.

Certain formalities need to be completed, but full details can be given to you at the time of booking.
