LUX* hotels in two destinations
STANZA is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or a partner of LUX*.
Four LUX* houses are in the Stanza collection; three hold five-star standing. One is in the Maldives and three in Mauritius: LUX* South Ari Atoll, villas on the beach and over the water along a four-kilometer island beside the whale-shark waters of South Ari; LUX* Belle Mare, rebuilt in a tropical-modern key on the east coast of Mauritius, with one of the island's great pools and its own farmhouse; LUX* Grand Baie, suites, residences and pool villas on the northern edge of Grand Baie with Bisou, the adults-only rooftop; and LUX* Grand Gaube, a resort on two beaches by a fishing village. The first three hold five-star standing and Grand Gaube four-star standing; each is written as such.
Good to know
Where does Stanza list LUX*?
In the Maldives and in Mauritius. LUX* South Ari Atoll runs along a four-kilometer island in South Ari Atoll, by seaplane or domestic flight, beside the waters where whale sharks are seen the year round. In Mauritius, LUX* Belle Mare stands on the beach of the east coast, LUX* Grand Baie on the northern edge of Grand Baie and LUX* Grand Gaube on two beaches by the fishing village of Grand Gaube, in the north.
What do the LUX* houses have in common?
A lighter way with the island resort: the LUX* ME Spa at each house, food grown or cooked on the spot, a rooftop or a beach bar for the evening and a taste for color over formality. South Ari Atoll, Belle Mare and Grand Baie hold five-star standing and Grand Gaube four-star standing, and each is written as such.
When is the best time to stay at LUX*?
The Maldives has its dry season from December to April, with May to November wetter and quieter; the whale sharks of South Ari are there the year round. Mauritius has its dry, cooler season from May to December, with the cyclone season from January to March and minimum stays at Christmas and New Year.
How do I reserve LUX* through Stanza?
Search your dates on the hotel's page to see reference rates, then send the concierge a request. The concierge confirms exact rates and availability with you before anything is booked, and any payment and its timing are set out before you confirm.
