Following the devastating fire in July 2022; LUX* BELLE MARE, a 5-Star prestigious resort, on Mauritius’ east coast, was reimagined. 175 rooms & suites, private villas, public spaces and 9 unique food and beverage offers were designed to create a fresh tropical environment that elevates and inspires.
In Belle Mare, nature is in perfect balance, the coral lagoon, the white sand beach, the gardens of palms, the tropical sunlight. The design vision focuses on these textures and a palette of corals, blush pinks, and soft sands, to bring the spirit of the beach and landscape into the spaces.
The journey starts with a striking lobby; designed as a tropical Riad-like lounge with comfortable seating, grouped around a water pond nestled under by an array of hand-glazed tiled arches. Home to Maison Lux* this touch of paradise is represented in an inviting and uplifting space. This Milanese inspired coffee bar, showcases signature emerald green mirrors and pistachio green table tops.
The Atelier Lounge with its fun casual seating set up of slip covered low sofas and hanging wicker love seats, connects from the lobby to the beach. Whilst the Conservatory is a cooling hideaway, an internal tropical garden with garden-styled chairs and sofas.

The iconic BEACH ROUGE, is a family favorite beach-side restaurant for an easy lunch or dynamic evening under the stars. The design brings a fresh take on ‘rouge’, with its natural tones of red, inspired by the many shades of Mauritian Bougainvillea flower and the powder white sand that surrounds its location.
APPERATIVO, is a blush pink spritz bar, cast in rose-tinted reclaimed sand and matching glass. Whilst MIXOLOGIST is a vibrant resort bar, in a rope basket structure that is nestled under the wood roof with pool and beach views. Swing chairs and fun rocking loungers line the sea for the perfect view of the lagoon.
Overlooking the prestigious LUX* Belle Mare pool, MONDO, the signature all-day dining 200 seat restaurant, has been carefully planned into intimate sections to give each table setting pool views. The buffet is a fun experience for everyone, it even has a dedicated kid’s area. The active cooking and display stations cater for the various cuisines on offer, including a free-standing pizza oven and a walkthrough cold pantry.
