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.

Great hotel. Food amazing, setting perfect, beach is wonderful and best of all.... the staff and service. The whole resort feels new, from the gym kit to the rooms. We did the all inclusive which was very nicely done including right up to the end of our visit at 7pm....all food, drinks and activities covered. Shout out to Elvis and Dave who stood out as great team members. Only slight shame was the meals you had to book only carried a 30% discount on the all inclusive...feel that we could have been offered one meal in each as part of the package. If you are a golfer play the Ile Aux Cerfs as the hotel has a good rate with them. Read less
