At a glance
LUX* Belle Mare does things differently from most five-star resorts on the island.
Where other east coast properties lean into grandeur, LUX* Belle Mare keeps things deliberately light. The aesthetic is minimal and tropical, the service is informal without ever being inattentive, and the 1.4 kilometres of white sand beach that front the property do most of the heavy lifting.
Reimagined suites and villas, a spa built around the five elements of earth, water, fire, air and space, and a dining program that includes an exclusive private Indian masterclass with Chef Vineet Bhatia give the resort a personality that sets it well apart from its neighbors.
It rewards guests who want to feel the energy of a resort rather than the formality of one. The beach is the heart of it, the pool is the social center, and the evenings tend to take care of themselves.
Highlights
- 1.4 kilometres of white sand beach on Mauritius’s east coast, fronting a calm lagoon
- Spa built around five elemental wellness principles with dedicated adults-only facilities
- Exclusive private dining experience with Michelin-starred Chef Vineet Bhatia at Amari by Vineet

Further information
Dining
The resort’s most distinctive offering is Amari by Vineet, an exclusive private Indian masterclass and curated culinary journey with Michelin-starred Chef Vineet Bhatia. Beyond that, the dining spans breakfast through to late evening across several venues, with board options running from bed and breakfast to all-inclusive. The dress code after 6:30pm is relaxed but intentional, trousers and a shirt rather than swimwear, which sets the right tone for what the evenings here tend to become.
Wellness
The spa at LUX* Belle Mare is built around five elemental principles, earth, water, fire, air and space, with a treatment philosophy designed to leave guests feeling grounded and centred rather than simply rested. The facilities are exclusively adult, providing a calm counterpoint to the more energetic parts of the resort. An evening spa experience for two, combining relaxation and connection, is among the more memorable things the property offers.
Beach and Activities
The 1.4 kilometres of white sand beach at Belle Mare is the resort’s defining feature, and the programme built around it reflects that. Horses and horizons at dawn, a barefoot breakfast on the sand to follow, snorkelling directly off the beach into the calm lagoon, and a full watersports programme for those who want more structure. Private villas come with a dedicated butler and direct beach or pool access, making it entirely possible to spend a week at LUX* Belle Mare without ever needing to plan very much at all.
Mauritius
If you are looking for the perfect destination to relax and unwind while being surrounded by beautiful beaches, gorgeous green hills, and surging waterfalls, then a holiday to Mauritius is most certainly for you. We work with some incredible resorts, all of which offer a uniquely luxurious experience.
Our Experts
Mauritius always feels like next-level luxury, a cut above the rest. It's quieter than some of the other island destinations so has a heightened sense of secluded relaxation.
I've only ever heard wonderful things from clients who have been fortunate enough to visit Mauritius. There are so many fantastic resorts, plus it's the land of the Dodo.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

Suggested tours
Seychelles & Mauritius: Two Pearls of the Indian Ocean
Tailor-made VacationAsk most travelers to choose between the Seychelles and Mauritius, and they will hesitate. This itinerary is built to explore the best parts of both. The Seychelles and Mauritius are frequently held up against each other in comparisons of the Indian Ocean's finest destinations, yet surprisingly few itineraries actually combine them.
11 days tailor-made from $13,450 per person View trip
Mauritius Island Escape
Tailor-made VacationThis itinerary is built entirely around one island, with time to escape, explore, and immerse yourself in life on Mauritius. Where several of our Mauritius itineraries pair the island with a South African safari, this one stays put, giving guests nine full days to explore a single destination properly rather than fitting it around a longer, more demanding journey.
9 days tailor-made from $9,850 per person View trip
Mauritius Wellness & Spa Retreat
Tailor-made VacationSome travelers come to Mauritius to see the island. This retreat is for those who come to feel it, one slow, salt-scented day at a time. This itinerary is designed for travelers who want Mauritius stripped back to its most restorative elements: warm water, quiet mornings, and treatments that leave more time unaccounted for than planned.
