A Slice of Paradise in Mauritius



I've discovered a hidden gem that redefines luxury island living – the magnificent LUX* Grande Gaube in Mauritius. Nestled on the picturesque northern coast, this resort is a masterpiece of sophisticated tropical elegance that has completely elevated my expectations of a luxury getaway.


From the moment you arrive, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of understated opulence that perfectly complements the raw beauty of Mauritius. The resort's design is a triumph, seamlessly blending contemporary luxury with authentic Mauritian charm. Handcrafted local artwork and stunning sculptures adorn the public spaces, creating a visual feast that sets the tone for an extraordinary stay.


My suite was nothing short of spectacular. Imagine waking up to panoramic views of the triple-bay beaches and northern islets, with a private furnished balcony that serves as your personal slice of paradise. The attention to detail in these air-conditioned sanctuaries is impeccable – think plush king-sized beds, elegant en-suite bathrooms, and all the modern amenities you'd expect from a world-class luxury property.


What truly sets LUX* Grande Gaube apart is its commitment to delivering extraordinary experiences. The culinary journey alone is worth the visit. INTI, their award-winning Peruvian-Japanese fusion restaurant, took my taste buds on an unexpected adventure with its innovative menu and stunning open-air deck. For a more laid-back vibe, Beach Rouge offered the perfect combination of Mediterranean flavours and beachfront ambiance – there's something magical about dining with your toes in the sand while watching the sun dip below the horizon.


For my wellness-seeking followers, the LUX* Me Spa is a haven of tranquility. I indulged in their signature treatments, enjoying the hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room, and hammam. The adult-only wellness area, with its intimate pool and Jacuzzi, provided the perfect escape for moments of pure relaxation.


Adventure seekers, fear not! The resort offers a plethora of complimentary water activities that will satisfy your thrill-seeking side. I spent my mornings exploring the vibrant underwater world through snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and even tried my hand at water skiing. The state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga sessions at sunrise added a touch of mindfulness to my stay, ensuring I could maintain my wellness routine even in paradise.


What impressed me most were the unique touches that make LUX* Grande Gaube truly special. The nostalgic British red telephone box offering free international calls is an Instagram-worthy spot that adds a whimsical element to the luxury experience. And don't get me started on the cinema screenings under the stars – pure magic!


For my high-end travelers seeking exclusivity, LUX* Grande Gaube delivers beyond expectations. With six distinct restaurants, multiple bars, and personalized services like on-site professional photographers, every aspect of your stay can be tailored to your desires.


As I reluctantly prepare to leave this slice of heaven, I'm already planning my return. LUX* Grande Gaube isn't just a destination; it's an experience that redefines luxury island living. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking an extraordinary escape, this hidden gem in Mauritius offers a level of luxury that will satisfy even the most discerning travelers.


Trust me, darlings, your Instagram feed – and your soul – will thank you for discovering this exceptional retreat. LUX* Grande Gaube is more than just a luxury resort; it's a transformative experience that combines world-class comfort with authentic Mauritian charm. You'll leave with memories (and photos!) that will last a lifetime.
