LUX Grand Gaube
Mauritius, Indian Ocean
Grand Gaube
This is what a holiday beach hotel should look like – the soft sand, the endless blue horizons and the wonderful tranquillity. The Lux Grand Gaube Hotel in Mauritius is the perfect island get-away. It's beautifully designed; you'll spot the local influences at once– the thatched roofs, the harmony with nature and the relaxing, laidback atmosphere. But there's inspiration from the Far East too – with influences from feng shui helping to make the Lux Grand Gaube Hotel one of the most relaxing places to stay in Mauritius.
Tranquillity and relaxation amid stunning surroundings at the Lux Grand Gaube Hotel:
Occupying a stunning location near the lovely fishing village of Grand Gaube on the north coast, the Lux Grand Gaube Hotel gives you everything you'd expect of the finest beach hotel. The wonders of Mauritius are all around you – the beach, the miles of unspoilt forests, and the breathtaking views at every turn. But there's more to Mauritius – this is a vibrant, welcoming island, full of colour and music, and it's all waiting for you to discover it.
So the Lux Grand Gaube Hotel is the best place to start. There really aren't any more spectacular settings. The hotel is bordered by no fewer than three beaches – and a beautiful big lagoon. Views extend out over the northern isles of Mauritius and there's something spectacular to see from almost every vantage point.
From your room you can look out over the sea or the magnificent countryside and just soak it all up. Sit out on your furnished balcony or terrace and watch the waves crash gently against the shore, or listen to the gentle breeze rustling through the trees. These are the sights and sounds you'll never want to forget. Superior rooms at Lux Grand Gaube Hotel are magnificent. They're all ensuite and air conditioned, and benefit from additional features including telephone, satellite TV, minibar, safe, tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer and Wi-Fi internet access. Deluxe rooms and suites are also available at a supplement.
As well as all those beaches to explore, you'll have four swimming pools to choose from – and that tranquil lagoon. There is also an excellently equipped fitness centre and a relaxing spa. In fact you can play sports, or you can swim, or you can windsurf or do any number of things… Or you might just want to make every effort to relax like never before. This really is the place to do it.
To aid your relaxation and contentment, you won't have to look far for the perfect meal. The Lux Grand Gaube Hotel boasts an outstanding selection of restaurants. Again local and Far Eastern influences have a bearing on the cuisine, but there is such a wonderfully eclectic mix on offer, from the best local food to barbeques and lighter offerings.
It's no surprise the Lux Grand Gaube Hotel is one of the most romantic hotels in the world. This is a beautiful, serene and utterly beguiling place – a perfect synthesis of setting and ambience that will completely charm you.

Lovely relaxing break at Lux Grande Gaube
We had a wonderful week at the Hotel Grande Gaube. The hotel rooms were large, very clean and comfortable. We were half board and dined in all of the restaurants except INTI. The food on offer was delicious, we especially liked Bodrum Blue and Beach Rouge. The food in the main dining room was also delicious with an enormous choice of offer. Breakfast choice was amazing. The beach and pool area were also very well maintained with fresh towels also available. We also went to the spa and 2 of our group had massages which were excellent. We also liked the relaxed coffee bar and Sylvano was especially helpful as was Kaviraj at Bodrum Blue. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a relaxed beach break in sunny Mauritius

A fabulous and relaxing stay with baby
Travelled to Lux Grand Gaube with my husband and our 5-month-old. The hotel staff were so friendly and welcoming towards our baby (and us). The hotel also had everything we needed for the baby. It had a menu where you could order baby items such as a changing table, bathtub, bottle steriliser, etc. The kitchen even made baby purées if we needed them.
The food at the hotel was also great! The atmosphere in general was very relaxing, even for us travelling with an infant. A special thanks to the pool boy, Manav, who was super friendly and fun every time we were relaxing by the main pool.
We also went to the spa, which was fantastic! The hotel had lots of options on stuff to do, which was nice since there is not much outside the hotel within walking distance. Every week there is a schedule of stuff to do. I did a 40 min barista course which was fun and also a power walk outside the hotel were a guide took us around the area.
The only thing I would point out is that the hotel might be getting a bit dated. Nothing major, but you do notice that it’s not brand new anymore.
All in all, a fabulous and relaxing stay here!

2nd time - our favourite hotel!
This was our second time here and we had an incredible week. There were 6 of us - 3 couples - and we were looked after so well, always being accommodated with larger tables and made to feel so welcome. The facilities and food are fantastic but what made our stays so special is the warmth of the staff.
I’d like to specially mention Ashwan and Ricardo for outstanding service at the Creole Smokehouse, Lavish, Fredy, Nikhil, Dana and Thierry for always looking after us at the buffet, Aniket for his great rum recommendations and Chetan for his great coffees and stocking up on mint teas for us! We even got a selfie with him.
Our most special mentions though go to Vimal for taking us through a fantastic wine tasting experience, he was so friendly and knowledgeable and had us all laughing throughout.
And most of all, Ansh, who looks after the adult beach so well and even remembered us from last year. He works incredibly hard and always made sure we had drinks, menus, towels, food, whatever we needed, even recommending great food and drinks for us to try. He is an absolute star and was always so polite and friendly no matter how busy he was. We’ve got to know him over our two visits and if there is any sort of reward for great service, he would be thoroughly deserving. I found a picture of him with Saif that we took last year. They were a great double act, and Ansh told us Saif has since moved on to another Lux resort.

A memorable stay
A Wonderful Stay at LUX* Grand Gaube, Mauritius
From the moment we arrived, we received a warm welcome from the reception team, who explained the hotel’s amenities and showed us to our room. The room was clean, spacious and exactly as expected.
A special thank you to our housekeeper, Shabbir Mohammed, who kept our room spotless day and night, always with a smile and ensuring we had everything we needed.
The parking attendants and front-of-house team were always available and happy to help, day or night.
At the main restaurant, Le Palmier, Saurav and the kitchen team were welcoming, always smiling and happy to explain the variety of cuisines on offer.
Overall, the excellent service, friendliness and attention to detail from the staff made our stay truly enjoyable. Thank you to the entire team for making us feel so welcome!

Great holiday at the Lux Grande Gaube
Wow! What an amazing 2 weeks. We went here for our honeymoon and we have both travelled all over the world staying at various hotels so we will give this an honest review
The hotel is spotlessly clean. Reception staff were very helpful on our arrival. The reception itself leads into the main beach and the welcoming view of the beach and bay is very special. The coffee shop is located next to the reception and they serve a great selection of hot and iced coffees throughout the day.
Our room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was large with a nice walk in shower. The minibar was stocked everyday and it includes, red wine, white wine, a bottle of rum, bottle of gin, beers and soft drinks. The snacks were also branded and restocked everyday. Cleaning staff were excellent and the ‘turn down’ service early evening was unexpected but also excellent. A change of towels if you wanted them! The rooms are getting close to needing to be updated though. We had a leak in our bathroom which we weren’t even aware of apart from a note left for us. The leak was sorted in no time, but despite this, the manager offered us a room upgrade straight away. We declined as were happy where we were, but they did give us a late checkout which was very nice.
The food options were great Boston, cafe rouge, smokehouse - à la cartes and the palm court main buffet BBs for burgers at lunch
The à la cartes have menu options for lunch and evening meals which is a real nice touch. The food at all of them was excellent!! Service at the cafe rouge on the beach and the bodrum was exceptional! Very attentive The smokehouse was a little slower and seemed under staffed compared to the others. The palm court main buffet also had excellent choices and we used it 3/4 times just for a change of scenery.
The beach was nice and the water turquoise blue. Although we found it wasn’t particularly clear as you may imagine, but this was due to the time of the year and is known locally as ‘milky’. No issues with sunbeds at all. We stayed round the main beach as there was a little more going on with the water sports etc which were free to use which we did. The adults only beach was also beautiful, but it seemed to lack staff for the drinks compared to the main beach. Staff in the beach were superb and we had a daily fridge brought us with our chosen selection of beers and sorts drinks and these were topped up on a regular basis.
The hotels evening entertainment was pretty standard and average. We both noted that the hotel lacked background music. Whether that be at the restaurants or in the main bar. Occasionally you would get some but very sporadic Our pre dinner cocktails at the main palm court bar were in silence it just seemed lacking that bit of background music to create a bit of ambience.
The gym was a little small for the size of the hotel.
The staff are the hotels biggest asset. They are superb! Always smiling and always saying hello. They can’t do enough for you and are a credit to the hotel. My wife had a fall whilst it running and was badly grazed on her arms and legs. The gate staff were superb and so were the medical staff who treated her injuries.
To name but a few Reedoot and Kumar on the beach looked after us every day with drinks and cleaned sunglasses. Sachin, Kevish , Nirvan and Darren in the main bar were all exceptional. Loved their cocktails and knew our orders after only a few days Also Ilynos- I think I may have spelt his name wrong, but he worked largely in the rouge cafe on the beach and looked after us superbly.
Overall the staff make this 5 star. The food and drinks as well. The hotel itself could be seen as getting tired in a year or so but we had a superb honeymoon.
