    Updated on 07/07/2022

    As the world reopens, travel is getting a little easier. The secret to a seamless trip is extra planning. Be sure to check your country's regulations. Here's the status of our destinations:

     

    Mauritius

    Great news! Mauritius is fully open! We compiled the most frequently asked questions below. We also invite you to consult the official Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority website for the latest updates and more detailed information: https://mauritiusnow.com

    La Reunion

    Social distancing is recommended but is no longer mandatory. Masks are not required indoors and outdoors, including in transportation (even if it is still recommended). To visit Reunion Island, it is compulsory for unvaccinated people to present a Covid-19 test (PCR test less than 72 hours or Antigen test less than 48 hours). Vaccinated travellers do not need to present any test upon departure. Since 14 May, ‘reasonable excuses’ are not required for unvaccinated travellers (however a negative Covid test is still compulsory).

    China

    Over in China, the doors to our resorts and retreats are open to domestic travellers only, as borders remain closed for now. A health QR code is required upon check-in. Local travellers from high and middle-risk areas should check in with their regional's regulations.

    Maldives

    The Maldives' one island=one resort has made it an alluring destination since day 1.

    You are no longer required to present a PCR negative test result upon arrival to the Maldives. This applies to both vaccinated and non-vaccinated travellers. Wearing a face mask is no longer mandatory, except at health facilities.

    You must fill out an online Traveller Health Declaration (https://imuga.immigration.gov.mv/) within 48h of your departure to and from the Maldives.

    If you are coming from another resort, island or boat, you are no longer required to do a PCR test prior to your arrival at LUX* South Ari Atoll.

    As part of the Collective Care Program, all Team Members maintain protective measures, and public facilities are sanitized frequently to keep you, our Team Members, and our communities safe.

    COVID-19 insurance: The Maldives offers a COVID-19 insurance which travellers can purchase prior to their arrival. It covers medical expenses, isolation and transportation costs.

Mauritius
LUX* Grand Baie

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.

Mauritius
LUX* Belle Mare
Reopening October 2023

Our much-loved LUX* Belle Mare is undergoing extensive renovations, taking the resort to new heights all while preserving its spirit as a family resort that captures the best of island living.

Mauritius
LUX* Grand Gaube

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.

Mauritius
LUX* Le Morne

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.

Maldives
LUX* South Ari Atoll

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
LUX* Saint Gilles

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.

China
LUX* Tea Horse Road

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 Lijiang, Shangri-La and all the way to Benzilan—one of the last stops.

China
LUX* Chongzuo, Guangxi

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.

France
LUX* Marseillan

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.

Vietnam
LUXNAM* Phu Quoc

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.
