    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.

Les hôtes de LUX* sont invités à prendre part à la création d'une oeuvre interactive, une nouvelle Raison de séjourner chez LUX* afin de s'approcher un peu plus près de leur rêve en faisant un voeu sur l' "Arbre à Souhaits".

Des artisans locaux et esprits créatifs LUX* "cultivent" l'Arbre à Souhaits dans chaque hôtel LUX* - que ce soit un arbre véritable au milieu d'un jardin fleuri ou une représentation créée à partir de métal et fibre de verre recyclés dans la lignée du programme LUX* Tread Lightly, programme éco-responsable de LUX*.

Les rubans colorés qui dansent au vent accrochés sur les branches, symboles de vie éternelle, rappellent l'ancien festival japonais Tanabata des arbres à souhaits et la tradition brésilienne des rubans sur lequel un voeu est formulé,"Bonfim".

La première création est celle de LUX* Belle Mare, dont l'artiste s'est inspiré d'un baobab, également considéré comme l' "arbre de vie". L'Arbre à Souhaits de LUX* Le Morne a été réalisé par le Chef Exécutif à partir de matériaux recyclés et de métal.

LUX* Grand Gaube et LUX* Maldives apportent une touche de magie à des arbres existants au coeur de la végétation luxuriante de leurs jardin, comme le magnifique Flamboyant en fleur au LUX* Grand Gaube.

1 ‐ Accrochez un ruban sur une branche
2 ‐ Fermez les yeux et faites un souhait
3 ‐ Profitez de vos vacances tout en sachant qu'à la fin de l'année un ruban sera ré au hasard pour gagner un séjour dans un hôtel LUX*

A leur arrivée à l'hôtel, un ruban est remis aux hôtes avec leurs iniales et la date de leur séjour. Ils sont invités à accrocher le ruban lors d'une soirée spéciale organisée par l'hôtel, ou à un moment de leur choix en toute inmité.


Les hôtes sont également invités à faire un voeu dans un puits à souhaits qui se trouve à proximité en y jetant une pièce. Les fonds récoltés seront reversés à l'Organisaon non gouvernementale "Thalassemia Society of Maurius" qui aide à améliorer la vie des enfants aeints de problèmes hémaques.

Remportez un séjour ‐ Un ruban sera ré au sort sur les Arbres à Souhaits à la fin de l'année et l’heureux gagnant se verra offrir un séjour des 5 nuits dans l'un des hôtels LUX* Resorts & Hotels.
