LUX* Le Morne

Mauritius, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

The hotel

With a stunning sunset location, flanked by UNESCO World Heritage Site Le Morne Peak, this LUX* resort also overlooks an endless stretch of golden beach. Sheltered from trade winds and on the quiet side of the island, it’s an ideal place to catch up on some R&R. Landscaped gardens surround you, dotted with five swimming pools — select your favourite and pull up a lounger. Romantic in feel, the hotel is also ideal for families, with a superb kids' club offering activities such as treasure hunts, art classes and tennis lessons. Water sports abound, try your hand at snorkelling, water-skiing or kite-surfing perhaps. If you prefer dry land, no worries — team up with friends for a game of volleyball or hire a bike to explore the lush interior. Come sundown, the pace picks up slightly. Head to The Bar for cocktails and live music, or while away the hours in East, feasting on delicious Thai cuisine. Set right beside the ocean, The Beach is also highly recommended, serving up Italian fare in a relaxed setting.

The food was exquisite. I especially recommended the duck curry at the Thai restaurant with the most pleasant staff I’ve ever met. The Kawaii restaurant is a must! And the buffet is extraordinary. All staff are fantastic as well as the spa!!

We enjoyed all the restaurants - especially The Beach for lunch and dinner. We also had a an evening in Kawaii, which was excellent. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. My only negative is the WIFI - in kept dropping out, which also impacted the TV. Other than that. I would definitely visit again! Read less

Stunning resort! Excellent service from highly professional and friendly staff. Ask for Iqbal if you want to be driven around the Island and if you want recommendations of activities. The variety of restaurants on the resort is an added bonus. Expensive but worth it.

We visited LUX Le Morne for our honeymoon and wow, what an incredible holiday we had. From the moment we walked into the hotel we were greeted with smiles, kindness and such a willingness to make our stay special that we have never experienced anything like it. Throughout our entire stay, the staff couldn't be more helpful, always checking up on us in case we needed anything. Nothing was too much trouble at all. On the morning of our first full day we had a meeting with Justine to go through activities we might like to do during our stay and wow, what a superstar Justine is. We mentioned about a Dual Seaplane experience and so Justine called up, checked availability and 3 hours later we were on our way. Must say this was an incredible experience and the weather was perfect to see the underwater waterfall. Justine also got us booked up for swimming with Dolphins and a full day tour of the South of the island so we could see waterfalls, feed giant turtles and take in some incredible scenery. It wasn't just this Justine helped with, she was also on hand to help with any questions and even helped rearrange the Dolphin swim due to the weather. She would often WhatsApp to make sure we were doing ok too. A superstar who went above and beyond! We must mention Hemant who is the resident photographer. We booked in a sunset photoshoot, only for the particular day to be a bit cloudy as the afternoon came to a close. Suddenly out of the blue, a message arrived asking if we could be ready in 10 minutes as there was a bit of a sunset. We managed to capture some great photos and it was a lot of fun. Due to it not quite being the full sunset, Hemant also squeezed us in the following morning for some drone footage. Which is amazing and really captures where you are staying. Highly recommend this and I would book as soon as you arrive or even beforehand as he was very busy. Such a nice and kind person and another superstar! There are many other staff members like Ahshay in the Bar area who remembered us well, even after 2 days off. If he recommends the local rum, you must give it a go! Priyanka was in the main restaurant and was so lovely and smiley. Gevanie was also wonderful and Manisha in the celebration corner was fantastic and helpful too. There are so many more staff members across the entire hotel who's names we have forgotten (sorry) but they all helped to make our stay perfect, create memories we will never forget and more importantly, too celebrate life!! In terms of what the hotel has to offer, as we were on their honeymoon package, we could book a location for a private dinner (added extra) like the beach, treehouse or gazebo. We went for the Gazebo and it didn't disappoint. Highly recommended but you must book before you go to avoid missing out. There is also a ton of complementary activities you can do like pedal boats, snorkelling, glass bottom boat and kayaking. We really enjoyed eating a the BAR (for a late lunch), the burgers are incredible and dinner in the Beach was amazing. The buffet had different cuisines each night and you could always find something you liked. The BAR also had plenty of cocktails and drinks...I definitely became a fan of a daiquiri or two each night. All in all what a hotel and what a honeymoon! Thank you! Read less

We came to Lux on our honeymoon and unfortunately we didn’t feel special at all. We had activities included in our honeymoon stay and despite contacting Lux in advance to see if we needed to pre-arrange these or any of the other honeymoon things (treehouse, candle dinners etc), we were told we didn’t. We then turned up and had to specifically enquire about these inclusions in our stay as they weren’t recognized at check in. The ‘celebrations team’ then told us lots of the activities were already booked, as they did have to be arranged in advance, and we couldn’t do them. We were then given pre arranged times for the other included things eg cocktails, cooking class, with no flexibility or choice in when we did them. This felt very much like we were just another insignificant cog in their honeymoon factory. The ones we did attend, both honeymoon inclusions (cocktail class) and hotel activities (eg latte class) felt like afterthoughts - poorly organised, rushed, poor quality, and lasting literally less than 15 minutes. We felt like the app sells the image of the hotel as having lots going on but actually this is largely to give off an image but not actually consisting of much. For example, the app stated there was beach volleyball happening with a leader from the events team. We booked on, turned up at the right time, to find no one there and being told that we had to walk back to the main hotel to pick up a volleyball if we wanted to play. Overall, we had a nice time but we didn’t feel that the experience sold to us from online adverting was the 5* honeymoon experience we had hoped for. The food is pretty good, in particular the Thai restaurant is excellent, but service at the main restaurant, at poolside, and during breakfast was quite poor, with us often having to ask them if we could order drinks, for menus etc. The beach is lovely and room was nice.
