Warm Mauritian hospitality meets Far Eastern elegance at LUX* Grand Gaube

Stretching languorously along the silky sandy coves near the traditional and amiable village of Grand Gaube, Mauritius sits the newly re-named and seductively unique LUX* Grand Gaube. Waves of tropical jungle and a volcanic backdrop flow into lush vegetation and flawless beaches, boasting beautiful surroundings for this resort. Just over an hour by car from the international airport LUX* Grand Gaube is also a short 15 minute drive to the lively Grand Baie, with both journeys offer enchanting scenery.

Take in the sea view from your room, suite or villa overlooking the triple-bay beaches, lagoon and north coast islets. In an equally relaxing fashion lounge on colourful beanbags and hammocks beneath coconut, banyan and filao trees scattered throughout the beautiful tropical gardens.

All manner of guests will be calmed by the harmonising room and suite layout and décor, paying homage to Far Eastern influence in clean contemporary lines. Beautiful ocean and lagoon views characterise all accommodation, with suites boasting whirlpool baths to ensure serenity. Furthermore, whilst this distinctive style runs through the five restaurants, their idiosyncrasies ensure all manner of varied and diverse tastes are catered for, culminating in the flagship Karma House, fusing French and Asian cuisine. Nonetheless, at night the rhythm of island life is captured and extended through the eye-catching performances of local dancers and musicians.

Whilst many of the resorts guests choose to lounge on beanbags and hammocks under the indigenous tropical flora, a selection of more active and adventurous activities are available. A whole host of water sports, tennis, pools, diving, deep sea fishing and day trips to the cultural markets of Goodlands or the delightful town of Cap Malheureux will enable the more active to expend some energy. Additionally, kids and teens clubs PLAY and Studio 17 ensure there is something for all the family to do. Furthermore, as the only resort on Mauritius to possess its own private cinema, a whole host of films are played each evening for varying audiences.

Accentuating LUX* Grand Gaube's pre-eminence in relaxation is the LUX* Me spa, embracing the integration of traditional techniques from the East with the five elements that influence its treatments. An array of luxurious facials, massages, scrubs, invigorating yoga and dynamic exercise programmes can be exclusively created to ensure guests remain at peace with the idyllic island surroundings.
