LUX* Grand Gaube Re-opens in Mauritius

The luxurious LUX* Grand Gaube, designed by Kelly Hoppen, has just re-opened and its first guests are already bubbling with enthusiasm at how special it is.

Kelly has genuinely worked her magic, making guests feel at home while transported to an extraordinary world true to architect Jean-Francois Adam’s vision of contemporary yet timeless Indian Ocean living.

All rooms, suites and villas open to stunning sea views and airy verandas, some with outdoor baths or sundecks edged by the resort’s private cove. Fitted with LUX* Sleeptight mattresses and the highest quality, refined Egyptian cotton linens, every room is intended for extreme comfort. Huge doors treat the living spaces to lots of natural light and the generous dressing space enhances the loft-style feel. Handwoven African baskets, wicker tables and smooth floors ensure all bedrooms are as comfortable as can be. Geometric tiles add graphic personality to en-suites, and many bathrooms have reclaimed bespoke Victorian bathtubs. The top-level accommodation sees the signature two-bedroom LUX* Villa, which sleeps a family of four.

There are six restaurants and seven bars, many of which are totally unique to Mauritius. From the glazed ceilings of the Palm Court Restaurant, serving dishes cooked à la minute with seven live-cooking stations scattered throughout the foliage-filled dining room, to INTI, the first Argentinian-Peruvian restaurant in Mauritius, which throbs to Latin American music from late afternoons onwards. As a tribute to LUX*’s award-winning resort in Turkey, the Bodrum Blue at LUX* Grand Gaube serves seafood fresh from the Indian Ocean, together with Turkish wines selected by connoisseurs.

The Wellness area is a haven for those needing to relax or tone up with a workout, from aromatherapy experiences, like LUX* Me’s therapies from Shirley Page, to the exclusive Cellulight body oil treatment. It is also the first resort in Mauritius to have an Essie nail bar, as well as an authentic barber’s shop – Murdock’s of London.

The reimagined resort has innovation at its core, along with four new Reasons to Go LUX* – Padel Tennis, the G&T 100 Club, Veggie Heaven and Beach Bento, along with the celebrated Café LUX*, ICI, Phone Home, Cinema Paradiso, Scrucap, Mama Aroma, Message in a Bottle, Phone Home, LUX* Me, Tree of Wishes, Tread Lightly, Junk Art Gallery, Aperitivo, Panama Hat, Photofanatics and Wanderlust Library.

This is a resort bursting with personality – not least thanks to its extraordinary team members who are dedicated to the art of welcoming every guest with the highest standards of hospitality and attention.

LUX* Grand Gaube has flung open its doors – and a world of delight awaits.
