This modernist marvel, seemingly dropped onto a crescent of sand on the northern shores of Mauritius, turns heads. This new generation boutique-style resort introduces travelers to the seductive, slow pace of island living. But not too slow… LUX* Grand Baie, mirroring the adjacent beach town from which it takes its name, is exciting and playful. Whether it’s the unparalleled culinary scene or the breath-taking rooftop experience, there is truly no other celebratory place to be. A real invitation to seize the moment.
The vibrant, forward-thinking resort nestled on the wild east coast of Mauritius, captures the best of island living: a glimmering lagoon and sugar-white sand beach, unrivalled service and charm, a huge swimming pool, exquisitely designed villas, fabulous restaurants and the most creative pop-up dining experiences, and even in-house coffee and ice-cream brands and an organic farm. We mean it when we say there’s something for everyone.
The totally reimagined retro-chic tropical retreat, tucked away on a peninsula bordering two coves, celebrates life in the tropics the LUX* way. The eye-catching design of Kelly Hoppen blends perfectly with the surrounding tropical greenery, and each room is made to feel like a home—that is, if home is having an outdoor bathtub overlooking the Indian Ocean. The resort is known for its focus on wellness and its culinary gems.
Blessed with the best sunset of the island, life’s a beach at LUX* Le Morne. The chic and mindful boutique resort at the foot of Le Morne Mountain on the wild west coast of Mauritius calls all lovers of barefoot luxury and mindful travel. The postcard beach barely needs an introduction. As for the hotel, it’s a gem that truly embodies the spirit of island living.
An island paradise where you can experience the Maldives to its fullest. Ride your bicycle along the jetty, swim alongside whale sharks, hang out in your bungalow on stilts, dine at any of the eight restaurants, dance the night away, partake in marine conservation… Whatever it is you love, you’ll find it here at LUX* South Ari Atoll.
Reunion Island’s only five-star set on the beach is a colonial gem fringed by filao trees and the calm L’Hermitage lagoon. Nature is the main draw. If you can gather the strength to pull yourself from the chaise-longue facing the gorgeous lagoon, there’s a world out there waiting to be explored–from the lunar landscapes of the volcano to the cirques, a geologist’s dream. Hike the volcano or hop into a helicopter and catch a bird’s eye view of “l’île sauvage”, the wild one.
A unique collection of retreats along the mystical Tea Horse Road, where the journey is the destination. We believe in travel that takes you to extraordinary places. Travel that alters the way you see the world. LUX* Tea Horse Road takes you on a wildly unique journey from Pu’er to Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La and all the way to Benzilan—one of the last stops.
This tropical modernist boutique resort is strikingly beautiful and astonishing. Surrounded by lush, picture-perfect tropical gardens and set on the banks of Mingshi river, at the border of China and Vietnam, this resort is defined by its modernist design, the unmistakable karst rock formations, and the seductively slow pace of riverside living. This luxurious sanctuary is designed for astute travelers who crave meaningful connections and out-of-this-world experiences.
Somewhere between the Pyrenees and Provence, bordering the saltwater lake of Thau and the Mediterranean sea, is the first resort at the heart of a beachfront vineyard. If the sea, sun, and wine is your trifecta of choice, you’ll fall head over heels for LUX* Marseillan. The resort’s alluring glamour and its luxurious residences incarnate the French art de vivre.
Set on Pearl Island’s north coast where forested mountains slope down to sugar-sand beaches and blue-green sea, this pioneering resort is perched on stilts above the Kiên Giang Biosphere Conservation Area. A gateway to immeasurable riches, it’s the kind of place where, one moment you’re soaking up the sun, and the next, Vietnamese culture. Set sail to one of the fifteen islets that make up the mythically beautiful An Thoi archipelago or simply enjoy all this exciting resort has to offer.

OUR CREATIVE DINING CONCEPTS
The Ai KISU experience pulls you in from the moment you step inside: the walls are adorned with modern Japanese art, chefs inside the open kitchen fire up sinfully delectable dishes inspired by Asia's multitude of cuisines, a soya sauce sommelier passes through the tables, the flames of the Warayaki straw fire add to the heat of the atmosphere. The stylish and sophisticated dining destination is where you end up having too much fun to leave.
This gorgeous, contemporary café draws its soul from the typical cafés that line the streets of Milan. There’s something for every hour of the day. Come nightfall, the barista is replaced with the bartender. Drinks are poured, canapés, served. After dinner, linger a little longer with a glass of absinthe or a digestif, and why not one of those delicate and dainty pastries in their jewel-like box?
At INTI, you will find a cuisine with an astounding variety. The ingredients, combinations, textures, and cooking methods result in many variations beautiful to both the eye and the taste buds. Over the years, Peruvian cuisine has evolved to form a completely unique modern-day culinary art form, one that pushes creative boundaries and encompasses the world.
A clever mix of beach club and restaurant, Beach Rouge evolves and metamorphoses from morning till night. When the sun dips below the horizon, the entire Beach Rouge is lit up in an electrifying red tint, to which it owes its name. For a moment you’ll feel transported to the bohemian-chic Ibiza, or the crystalline coastline of Mykonos.
At Bodrum Blue, veggies and grains co-star, meat makes a cameo, and the piquante flavours of Turkey take the lead. The food—a spread of beautiful things to nibble on—is unfussy. And it is versatile, meaning you can mix and match, combine flavours, switch it up. That’s the beauty of Mediterranean cuisine.
Vineet Bhatia is the first Indian chef to be awarded a Michelin star for his London restaurant, Rasoi. At Amari, Vineet has recreated some of the most-loved Indian dishes with a progressive menu dominated by colourful spices. The restaurant’s opulent interiors are an invitation to discover a cuisine that is not only inventive but also beautifully presented.
Duck Laundry honours creative chef-driven food. Behind the glass panes you can watch the cooks dish up brilliant bowls of noodles, Dim Sum and Peking Duck. The atmospheric restaurant serves Chinese food with layers of flavour and unforgettable plates that are meant for sharing.
This is not your typical resort buffet. Far from it, as a matter of fact. The ubiquitous countertop has been replaced by a maze of market-style outlets. Each corner is dedicated to a cuisine of the world–from Italy to India, and from Asia to Europe. A meal at The Palm Court is very much like embarking upon a culinary journey.
What happens when meticulously-sourced meats, wines and cigars find their way into a chic space reminiscent of a wine cellar? The answer is Prime, a gem of a steakhouse. Wine and meat. Cigars and wine. These go together like bread and butter. Or Gin and Tonic. Prime is as cozy as it is elegant, making it the perfect spot for a fancy night out or a celebratory dinner.
Umami, the savory ‘fifth taste’ is also the name of this restaurant which packs a punch. Umami is split in three: Sushi, Robatayaki and Teppanyaki. Each dish is a work of art with uniquely Japanese flavours, which, paired with a curated selection of sakés and Japanese whiskeys, will have you slipping into another dimension. The sleek decor provides just the right amount of glitz.
