LUX* Grand Baie, a modernist marvel seemingly dropped onto a crescent of sand on the northern shores of Mauritius, turns heads. This new generation boutique-style resort introduces travelers to the seductive, slow pace of island living. But not too slow… LUX* Grand Baie, mirroring the adjacent beach town from which it takes its name, is exciting and playful. Whether it’s the unparalleled culinary scene or the breath-taking rooftop experience, there is truly no other celebratory place to be. A real invitation to seize the moment.

We chose the hotel based on many positive reviews and were not disappointed. The hotel exceeded all expectations. The service was excellent. The reception staff were always happy to help, especially Jerome and Igbal. Everyone was very friendly. We stayed in an apartment that you access through a small bridge (two bedrooms, a living room with a kitchen, a terrace with a small pool, 3 bathrooms). Upon check-in, we were treated to a wonderful dessert from Simon Pacari, it was very tasty, and then we tried his desserts every day at the MaisonLux confectionery on site. In the kitchen there was a coffee maker with capsules, a kettle of tea bags, milk in the refrigerator and water was brought every day. Breakfast is a different story, even the most picky people will be satisfied, everything is very tasty and beautifully presented. The beach is clean, the entrance to the sea is soft, slippers are not needed. Lots of water sports included in the price. For an additional fee you can go on various excursions (swim with dolphins, sperm whales...) They served sorbet ice cream every day on the beach. There were also large bottles of detox water on the beach. There are two gyms on site: outdoor and indoor. Both are equipped with good training equipment. The trainers always tried to help, helped with training, showed how it works. My daughter liked the Kids Club; there were few children, but they always did something with her. There is also a small room for teenagers. We only took breakfast, since we went out almost every evening, but we really liked the food in all the hotel restaurants. If we return to Mauritius again, then only in Lux Grand Baie

Very nice hotel in the north of Mauritius. We spent a wonderful holiday here as a family, which we will remember fondly. The access to the sea is fantastic, the pool facilities and the park are beautiful. The service is very caring and friendly and we also enjoyed the breakfast. The fitness center is not very big, but if you want, you will be very well looked after there. We were accommodated in a residence across the street, which was very spacious and beautifully furnished. We didn't hear any of the much-quoted car noise and the room service was also very attentive. If you want to go out to eat in the evening, I recommend the neighboring restaurant "Le Pouvrier" with good value for money and very nice service (Shan!!!). We rarely ate in the hotel itself in the evening, because the island location means the food is quite expensive and the very expensive salad was not to our taste 🤷🏻♂️. Overall, however, a beautiful hotel that we would love to visit again.

The architecture is a feast for the eyes, the lobby alone is breathtaking. The location directly on the beach allows a beautiful view of the sea in all areas. The pool and garden area is very spacious and well maintained, with ample berths, also on the beach was always a lounger free. Our garden suite was very spacious and impeccably clean. The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly without exception. There are 3 fabulous restaurants where you get a very varied cuisine at a high level. We spent 10 unforgettable days here and can only recommend the place! Only tiny negative experience: We were picked up for the return trip at 3:00 at night so we missed our last breakfast. We were offered a breakfast box with a sandwich, a drink and a pastry, for which we then had to pay 250 Muren, although we were still entitled to breakfast.

I am currently staying at Luc grand bay for several days in the context of a honeymoon, where to start because everything is top! On arrival we were offered the coktail and pastry tasting spa! Frankly even A 10/10 is a low score so great that it is the room that is spacious, with the welcome pastry that is just succulent! Which I will buy when I go back to Paris! The spa with such a great massage! The pool on the 3rd floor with sea view! Oh, mind-blowing! There is fresh water by the pool and the beach the passage for small fruity ice cream! Let’s talk about the staff who are simply exceptional wikram, saleem for his welcome at home lux, dishal who makes mind-blowing cocktails! And jessen for the service by the pool and the beach! And in the morning thank you to dhisha and her colleagues the service is so fast thank you to all the staff, we are still here for a few days a big thank you for making our stay the most beautiful holiday of our lives. You made our stay wonderful. The price of the hotel is worth the candle even if it is just once in your life because the service is up to what you spend, no need to leave the hotel everything is already in the establishment whether it is restaurants the excursions not to mention the free and numerous activities that the hotel offers.

From the moment we pulled into the hotel entrance we were greeted by the most lovely and welcoming team, we were sat down given welcome drinks and a cold towel, thank goodness as it was super humid when we landed. Iqbal welcomed us and told us all about the hotel and where everything is. Everything about the different restaurants and the Spa. We were offered the use of a courtesy room to shower and change as our room was not ready, nice touch. The hotel is beautiful clean and smells amazing, the pool’s are again clean and beautiful, but the beach is just breathtaking, absolutely beautiful. There are beach beds and they have towels already on the tables for you to use and buzzer buttons to get service at your sun bed, lush. The rooms are beautiful, modern and super spacious. Every little detail has been thought about and put into the room. The housekeeping team have been fabulous with the room looking like the first time we walked in every day, plus a few added touches which we have really appreciated, Thank you. The bars and restaurants have all been amazing, with the food being delicious and very tasty, the main restaurant is more a la carte than buffet and the food was really good, fresh and tasty. Compliments to all the chefs. We ate at their Japanese restaurant and that was just amazing, great looking instergramable restaurant with a great menu and awesome informative service from the team in there, Bernard was a treat, thank you. We loved all the theatre and stylish ambience. Krishna from the bar who looked after us every night whilst we were there is Amazing, nothing was too much trouble and he ran around all night and we never waited once for a drink, great guy super friendly and kind. Bisou bar and tapas restaurant was also a delight, great food and service and the view is great, next to Bisou is the adults only infinity pool and bar which is on the second floor level and has amazing views of the bay and surrounding areas. Again it was a treat to spend a few afternoons up there. So many amazing team members, too many to mention all of them, but they were all friendly, welcoming and efficient, what more can you ask for. Our experience at the Grand Baie Hotel has been nothing short of incredible, I will recommend it to everyone and we will be back, that’s for sure. Thank you 🤩

We have just returned from Lux Grand Baie where we spent our 2 week honeymoon. Firstly I’d like to say how beautiful the hotel is, the rooms and all the public areas. The hotel has a real Luxury feel to it. We used the gym regularly which was well equipped and all the gym staff were so friendly and helpful.
We also used the Spa one day when it was very overcast and had the most relaxing afternoon.
Our room was beautiful and was so light and airy, I loved having the electric blinds to open in the morning waking up to the most fabulous view possible.
We were bed and breakfast as we like to explore the places we visit and have a chance to eat outwith the hotel. The food was absolutely amazing! There was so much choice at breakfast, probably the best breakfast options I’ve ever come across when in a hotel. The quality of the food throughout all the places to eat in the hotel was of a very high standard.
We had the honeymoon package which meant we had some things booked complimentary through the hotel such as an afternoon tea, a wine and cheese pairing and also a cocktail session which I thought was so lovely to do these fun activities with my new husband.
The hotel itself is so impressive but what made it so special for us was the staff. They were so helpful and friendly but there were a few that really stood out to us. Disha was there nearly every morning to greet us with the most cheery personality and show us to our table at breakfast. John the Barista in the lounge at reception made our afternoon tea special. Jeyen was always there around the pool making sure we had everything we needed, he was so friendly and his level of customer service was second to none. Salem was our favourite manager of the lounge at reception, he made the best coffee, took so much pride in his work and was always so friendly and helpful. Sharda worked in the bar downstairs and had such an infectious smile, she was always so cheery. Wassil was also someone who was there to sit you down to breakfast in the mornings and he always remembered what we liked to drink without us even having to ask which was very impressive as the hotel was very busy. Iqbal worked in reception and was such a kind man, he was always so warm in his manner and we were glad he was on shift when we were leaving so we got to say goodbye.

By far and away the best and most luxurious beach holiday that we have had. We stayed in the Grand Beach Villa as a family of four and everything from the food, service, access to the beach, hotel facilities was exceptional and truly in a class of its own.
A special mention to Kishan who was our designated villa butler. He added a remarkable personal touch to everything. He was always on hand and attentive to providing suggestions on activities, booking restaurants, apertifs to the room and all in provided an extremely helpful and friendly service. He made the holiday something very special for us and is a real superstar!
The beach is superb - beautiful sand and water, and very swimmable given it experiences no high/low tide and therefore very still water. I would highly recommend it for beach lovers!
Grand Beach Villa What can I say - directly on the beach, with a huge infinity pool overlooking the sea. The rooms were excellent - very spacious, with huge shower rooms, balconies overlooking the beach, and service on hand throughout the day. The villa comes with a butler service who you can call at any time for things like reservations, booking activities, and general help. They also provide evening apertifs and food to the room before dinner. The villa is on a slightly more private side of the beach with plenty of parasoles and food/drink service directly to the beach!
Food Plenty of options over the 9 days we stayed with the Beach Rouge providing the centre point for most of the breakfast/lunch. Each evening it offers a buffet from different cuisines. Ai Kisu the Asian fusion restaurant, and Bisou the rooftop offering Lebanese cuisine are both excellent with fantastic vibes!
Special mention to Kailash who looked after us providing Vegetarian and Vegan pastry alternatives.
Service Amazing staff and found everyone in the hotel extremely friendly and attentive. Special mention to Saleem in the coffee bar for providing amazing coffee and teaching us a thing or two about being a barista!
Amenities Hotel is packed with things to do and activities. The spa is excellent with sauna, steam room, an extensive outdoor pool area to relax and a brilliant gym. They offer all sorts of session through the day such as yoga, meditation and workouts.
They also provide complinetary water sport activities such as Water skiing which is great fun
All in I would highly recommend this resort...it's a must visit!

Breathtaking hotel. Amazing arrival experience from the lobby to the room. Our room was equipped with the latest technologies to minimise any effort(even the curtains are drawn by themselves) and a perfect cleanliness ensured by the housekeeping. Our favourite Restaurant was the Ai Kisu with mouthwatering Asian food accompanied by a great background playlist. Let’s not forget that amazing boathouse team especially Fazal, Stephano and everyone else! Joey at the Beach rouge delivered great service too. Thanks for everything and we can’t wait to be back to this prestigious hotel😎

We stayed with friends (2 couples) at the Lux Grand Baie at the end of February, beginning of March, what can we say about this recent hotel other than that it is exceptional in every way: The director is really friendly, omnipresent and very competent. Every morning, he comes to greet the staff and stops, during the day, at the customers' table to see if everything is going well and does not hesitate to participate in the various tasks if necessary. The staff is very accommodating, smiling, helpful, attentive and remarkable for their kindness and dedication throughout the complex! The 3 magnificent swimming pools are heated, very clean and there is always free space on the deckchairs. The beach is very pleasant and there are many water activities, towels are always available everywhere and very comfortable. We had the all inclusive formula which was perfect both by the incredible selection of drinks and by the quality and choice of food in the different restaurants (the chef of the main restaurant is really talented) and what can we say about the pastry chef who creates desserts fabulous and let's not forget the mini bar stock which is just incredible with its great diversity (drinks and snacks). The roof top with its adults only swimming pool is magnificent both with its plantation of palm trees and the splendid view of the sea. The aperitifs taken in complete privacy and the tasty meals delighted us. The rooms are spacious (junior ocean suite) and very well equipped (great home automation system) and with a large selection of cozy pillows, a large walk-in shower and a beautiful terrace. We have been to the spa several times, the massages are just great! This hotel amazed us and left us with wonderful memories and we plan to return with enthusiasm.

Hi,
Yes you can certainly eat dinner at the resort on one or more nights without purchasing the all inclusive. Highly recommend the Asian restaurant, haha. The good thing about all inclusive though is that it includes all your drinks as well as meals. If you like to eat out though then, don't book all inclusive. However, review what restaurants you would like to go to for dinners before leaving for Maritious. There didn't appear to be a lot of good options when I drove through the town. Wishing you a wonderful honeymoon!
