The hotel

After a makeover in October 2023, the hotel re-opened as a spirited and luxury hotel, occupying a dream location overlooking a pristine stretch of beach washed by sparkling azure waters. It’s also home to one of the island’s largest swimming pools, take a dip or treat yourself to a fresh, low-fat ice cream packed with island fruits from the 'ici' vendors. You'll also find some quirky LUX* touches, such as their own blend of coffee roasted on site, a pop-up restaurant and Cinema Paradiso. LUX* Belle Mare offers a range of suites and private villas to tempt you, all beautifully designed. Upgrade to a Pool View Junior Suite overlooking the swimming pool or to a Wellness Junior Suite for wellness perks and spa discounts. Looking for a couples escape? The cocoon-like Ocean Suites are nice and private, or if you’re travelling with the children the Beach View Junior Suites are very spacious. It’s the little touches here that make all the difference, a British red phone box, for example, a novel way to call home! Exciting amenities include an impressive list of water sports with probably something new to try every day of your holiday. As for restaurants, you’ve several to choose from. MONDO specialises in worldwide cuisine, whilst at Amari by Vineet, you can enjoy Indian delights fit for a maharajah.

Amazing hotel and experience. I went with my sisters and father, the service and the atmosphere since the moment we stepped off the vehicle was something else. From the concierge, to the cool towels they give for refreshing while you’re doing check in, to the villa butler Rao, the service in the beach or the pool or the restaurants, everyone is super kind and helpful. We stayed at the prestige villa, it was beautiful, with an outdoor private pool with a waterfall to the 30 second walk to the beach. The villa included a butler, we had Rao, he was always available and making sure we were comfortable and didn’t need anything and whatever we did need he was super efficient and quick. He left us little snacks everyday in the afternoon which were amazing and always had the kitchen stocked with what we liked. The beach is gorgeous and the staff super kind and attentive. It was luxury in paradise. We didn’t want to leave! Alas the day came and everyone was super helpful with our luggage, giving us water for the road and even Rao gave us beautiful bracelets! The service incredible, the hotel beautiful and the luxury on another level. Read less
