Where minimalism meets tropical island living

The spirited, forward-thinking LUX* Belle Mare resort reopened on the east coast of Mauritius on 1st October 2023, with a refreshed look after more than a year of renovations. The highly anticipated reopening of the resort – tucked away in lush tropical gardens near the quaint village of Belle Mare, unveiled the timeless architecture that has been elevated with a striking new design whilst retaining its celebrated family ethos.

Taking the resort to new heights, LUX* Belle Mare’s new interiors have been conceived by internationally acclaimed Mauritian designer, Jean-Marc Tang. With a fresh feel, look and style, Tang brings soothing shades of pastels, coral, greens and sand white to LUX* Belle Mare, taking cues from the natural surroundings – where minimalism meets tropical design, exuding island living.
