If you’re scrolling through options for your next island escape and keep landing on LUX* resorts, you’re not alone. The LUX* brand has built a serious reputation across the Indian Ocean, but here’s the real question travellers keep asking: which LUX* resort is actually right for me?
This guide breaks it down in a simple, travel-friendly way so you can match the right resort to your vibe, whether you’re planning a honeymoon, a family holiday, or a social getaway with friends.
First things first: LUX* is not one-size-fits-all
Across Mauritius and the Maldives, LUX* resorts are designed around different travel styles. Some are calm and romantic, some are lively and social, and others are built for families who want space and activities without losing the luxury feel.
Let’s help you decide which is the right one for you.
Think of LUX* Grand Gaube as the “everyone gets what they want” resort.
It’s ideal if you’re travelling as a couple but also have family in tow, or if your group has different holiday styles.
Here’s why it works:
It doesn’t force you into one holiday style – you choose your pace each day.
If your idea of a holiday includes good food, rooftop sunsets, and a bit of buzz, LUX* Grand Baie will feel like your spot.
This is the most modern and energetic of the Mauritius LUX* resorts. It’s right near Grand Baie’s restaurants, bars, and nightlife, so you’re never far from something happening.
What stands out:
It’s a great fit for younger couples, friend groups, and anyone who doesn’t want a “quiet-only” holiday.
How much does it cost to stay at LUX* Grand Baie?
Prices vary depending on season and package type. The easiest way to get a clear figure is to chat with us at Pentravel, and we’ll quote everything based on your travel dates.
If you’re picturing slow mornings, mountain views, and a quieter setting, LUX* Le Morne is the one.
Set right at the base of Le Morne Brabant, this resort is all about atmosphere. It feels peaceful, open, and very connected to nature.
Who it suits best:
There is a kids’ club, so it is child friendly, but the overall vibe is much calmer than other resorts.
LUX* Le Morne is a great option for couples, but relaxed families can still make it work.
If you’re travelling with kids or grandparents, LUX* Belle Mare is often the easiest choice.
It’s spacious, relaxed, and very family-focused without feeling overly busy.
What families love:
Is LUX* Belle Mare good for couples?
Yes. It’s actually a popular honeymoon and couples’ option because of its villa-style privacy, beach space, and spa experiences. You just get a calmer, more relaxed version of luxury.
Now if you’re thinking about a honeymoon trip to Maldives, LUX* South Ari Atoll is a slightly different take on the classic Maldives experience.
It’s not ultra-quiet or ultra-private in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s more active and social.
Why people love it:
This is ideal if you want the Maldives feel, but still want things to do beyond your villa and the beach.
There isn’t a single winner, and that’s actually what makes the brand interesting.
Here’s the simple version:
Whether you’re looking at Mauritius or the Maldives, LUX* hotels are designed to give you a tailored experience rather than a generic resort stay.
If you’re still unsure which one fits your trip – or you want help comparing prices – chat with us at Pentravel. We’ll help you build a package that matches your travel style, dates, and budget.
Because the best resort isn’t just the one that looks good online – it’s the one that fits your holiday perfectly from day one.
