LUX Belle Mare Mauritius — A Fresh, Modern, and Stylish Family Escape on the East Coast*

If you’re dreaming of a Mauritius family holiday that combines laid-back luxury, spacious suites, immaculate beaches, and some of the best kids’ facilities on the island, LUX Belle Mare Mauritius* has everything discerning travellers look for. Set on the dazzling east coast in the peaceful village of Belle Mare, this newly rebuilt five-star resort is one of Mauritius’ most sought-after family properties — and for very good reason.

In this in-depth IslandStays guide, we explore what makes LUX* Belle Mare an unforgettable family resort, why its location is ideal, what sets it apart in terms of value for money, and why South African families continue choosing IslandStays to book their dream Mauritius holiday.

Where Is LUX Belle Mare Located and Why Is It So Special?*

LUX* Belle Mare is located on the serene and sheltered Belle Mare lagoon along Mauritius’ famed east coast — widely considered one of the island’s most picturesque stretches of beach. This untouched coastline delivers a postcard-perfect scene: powder-soft white sand, clear turquoise waters, and a lagoon protected by the outer reef, making it incredibly safe for children and new swimmers.

The resort sits close to some of the island’s top attractions, including the Île aux Cerfs, world-class golf courses, Belle Mare Waterpark, and a variety of local markets and cultural villages. Yet despite being near so much activity, LUX* Belle Mare feels wonderfully private and secluded, offering that unique balance of convenience and tranquillity that modern families love.

Mauritius’ east coast is also known for its refreshing coastal breeze, making the climate more pleasant in the hotter months. Families who love long, relaxed beach days will find this area blissfully comfortable all year round.

Why LUX Belle Mare Is One of the Best Resorts in Mauritius for Families*

LUX* Belle Mare was redesigned with families in mind. Every space, every activity, and every dining option caters to both children and adults without compromising on luxury.

1. Oversized Suites Designed for Family Comfort

The resort offers some of the largest suites in Mauritius, starting at 60m² — a massive advantage for parents travelling with children. Many suites offer inter-leading options, private terraces, and calming ocean-inspired interiors created by award-winning designer Kelly Hoppen.

For families wanting the ultimate upgrade, the LUX Pool Villas* offer full privacy, butler service, and your own heated pool — perfect for multigenerational stays.

2. One of the Best Kids Clubs on the Island

LUX* Belle Mare’s PLAY Kids Club is exceptional. For children aged 3 to 11, it includes:

Daily themed activities
Cooking classes
Nature walks
Treasure hunts
Arts, crafts & sensory experiences
A shallow, supervised kids’ swimming pool

Teens are equally spoilt with Studio 17, where they can enjoy beach sports, local excursions, a games room, music sessions, and more. With world-class facilities and genuinely enthusiastic staff, parents can relax knowing their children are having the time of their lives.

3. A Massive Lagoon Pool — The Centrepiece of the Resort

The resort features one of the largest swimming pools in Mauritius, complete with shallow areas for young children, comfortable loungers, and attentive poolside service. Families spend hours here, and the space never feels crowded because of its generous design.

4. Calm Waters Safe for Swimming and Snorkelling

Belle Mare’s lagoon is sheltered, shallow, and warm — making it ideal for:

Paddling with toddlers
Learning to snorkel
Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding
Long family swims

For parents wanting peace of mind regarding water safety, this location is unbeatable.
