The charming LUX* Grand Gaube presents itself as an intimate and secluded retreat under romantic thatched roofs on a wide bay next to the quiet fishing village of Grand Gaube in Mauritius. The resort offers a successful blend of all the amenities the island has to offer, topped off with excellent service of the highest class. From a pretty beach, wonderful gourmet restaurants, and a pampering spa to activities galore, including excursions with the resort's own seaplane, nothing stands in the way of a relaxing or adventurous dream vacation.
The 186 rooms and suites with sea views, as well as three villas, feature open-plan designs and soothing white tones with splashes of color, balconies, atmospheric lighting, and interesting geometric tiles in the bathrooms. Cozy details include vintage rattan, succulents in ceramic pots, a silky-soft lined bathrobe, and fluffy slippers. The spacious deluxe rooms, located on two levels around a secluded mangrove-lined bay, are decorated in coral pink and gray and feature marble bathrooms; the romantic junior suites on the second floor have a vintage outdoor bathtub overlooking the sea.
The six restaurants include Inti, the island's first Latin American restaurant, where fish is prepared to perfection and served in an intimate atmosphere. The chill Beach Rouge, lit by candlelight in the evening, with mixologists and DJs, offers seafood, roast loin and wood-fired pizza on the beach, while the romantic Turkish-style Bodrum Blue offers a cool sea breeze and shisha on a quiet terrace. The island cuisine at the rustic Creole Smokehouse, under a sprawling banyan tree by the pool, includes grilled king prawns and rum cocktails in the Rum Treehouse Cabana. The airy main restaurant overlooking the pool and sea is a lively option with live cooking stations.
The resort offers a wide range of opportunities to pamper yourself and create unforgettable memories. Perhaps your dream vacation will even be the start of a new fitness or wellness routine? Last but not least, there are numerous water sports options waiting for you. Children and teenagers are kept busy and entertained in two separate clubs, where they can spend their free time with their peers.
Experience a Mauritian dream vacation with exotic flair at LUX* Grand Gaube. The thatched-roof accommodations were redesigned in 2018 by British designer Kelly Hoppen in an eclectic retro-chic style, providing a tranquil contrast to the colorful island life. Look forward to relaxed suites and eclectic villas that offer privacy, tranquility, and relaxation, as well as iconic sea views and partial access to the beach. The resort has three main pools, including an adults-only pool at the tip of the peninsula. At the elegant LUX* Me Spa, experienced professionals offer a range of treatments that will leave you feeling reborn. Men can enjoy a wet shave and beard and mustache trim with a malt whiskey at the in-house Murdock Barber Shop, while women can treat themselves to a new haircut at the Kérastase salon and a manicure or pedicure at the Essie nail salon.
