The hotel

After a makeover in October 2023, the hotel re-opened as a spirited and luxury hotel, occupying a dream location overlooking a pristine stretch of beach washed by sparkling azure waters. It’s also home to one of the island’s largest swimming pools, take a dip or treat yourself to a fresh, low-fat ice cream packed with island fruits from the 'ici' vendors. You'll also find some quirky LUX* touches, such as their own blend of coffee roasted on site, a pop-up restaurant and Cinema Paradiso. LUX* Belle Mare offers a range of suites and private villas to tempt you, all beautifully designed. Upgrade to a Pool View Junior Suite overlooking the swimming pool or to a Wellness Junior Suite for wellness perks and spa discounts. Looking for a couples escape? The cocoon-like Ocean Suites are nice and private, or if you’re travelling with the children the Beach View Junior Suites are very spacious. It’s the little touches here that make all the difference, a British red phone box, for example, a novel way to call home! Exciting amenities include an impressive list of water sports with probably something new to try every day of your holiday. As for restaurants, you’ve several to choose from. MONDO specialises in worldwide cuisine, whilst at Amari by Vineet, you can enjoy Indian delights fit for a maharajah.

Just returned from an amazing stay in one of the Villas. Truly was wonderful from start to finish. We had an early flight arrival time and got to the resort around 830 am and were settled in our villa by 10 am. The room was gorgeous and spacious with many high end finishes. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The scenery and upkeep of the resort was incredible and truly felt like a luxury experience from start to finish. No area felt crowded and we were always able to find spots at the pool and beach. We had the all inclusive package which I recommend. The food was incredible every where, highly recommend Beach Rouge which offered the best pizza I have ever had at a resort (and certainly rivals some pizza I have had in the US). Sawan took care of us several times at Beach Rouge with excellent service each time. Also highly recommend the food truck, Royce Street. I will be thinking about the pork belly bao buns for many years to come. The cocktails everywhere were incredibly fresh and mini bar in the room well stocked and replenished daily. The service everywhere was incredible and went above and beyond, particularly Kherti, Mahen, Benji in the villa and Grinesh down at the beach. No request was too small. We had floating breakfast arranged and daily champagne and canapés delivered to the villas. We also really appreciated a late check out which allowed us to enjoy our last morning and freshen up before the start of our long travel back to the US. I only wish Lux Belle Mare was closer so I could go again soon. Overall probably my favorite tropical island and resort experience thus far! Read less

I stay at LUX Belle Mare in November 2024 with my friend. We stayed in an Ocean Villa for a week. LUX Belle Mare exceeded all of our expectations. The food, first of all, was top notch. Some of the best food I've ever eaten especially at the Beach Rouge restaurant. We had the all inclusive package and Beach Rouge is included with that package. I highly recommend the Octopus and the Burrata. We did eat at Duck Laundry and Amari by Vineet on two separate nights and while not included in the all inclusive you do get a 30% discount with the AI package. It was nice for a change of scenery eating at those restaurants, but since it wasn't included it didn't seem necessary. The food was really good as well and I am glad we ate there to try something different. I preferred Amari to Duck Laundry so if you were to only pick one of the two that is the one I would eat at. The choices at the buffet were plentiful as well with plenty of Western, Indian, and Asian foods to choose from. Food was never lacking anywhere you ate. Royce Street was particularly good for lunch and it will be a long time before I stop thinking of the Pork Belly Bao. Now for the real stars of the show. The attendants for our Villa were Mahen and Kherti as well as Benji. All of them were absolutely PHENOMENAL. I can really say that they were above and beyond making sure that our stay went as perfect as possible. They were responsive, courteous, timely, and overall made our stay that much better. I can not praise them enough. They turned a great vacation into a once in a lifetime stay. We have stayed at many high end tropical resorts and I can honestly say that I have never received service as good as this. I could go on and on about how amazing they are. The villas have their own private area of the beach and Granesh provides service at the beach for the villa guests. He was also amazing and anticipated our needs before we even knew we had needs. If I could give Lux* Belle Mare more than 5 stars I would. Do not hesitate to stay here. I would pick this hotel every day of the week. It is worth every penny. Read less

We had a 2 night stay at Lux Belle Mare. Its services were amazing. The staff were marvelously welcoming and kind. Whether at Mondo or Beach Rouge the food was scrumptious. Special thanks to Mr Sawan who guided us through the lunch menu at Beach Rouge and Mrs Taniska who recommended us this heavenly place for our holidays.
