MIXE (7am to 10:30am and 7pm to 10:30pm)

At MIXE, we’ve turned conventional all-day dining on its head. With views of the glittering ocean and expansive swimming pool, MIXE dishes up a tempting all-day menu of island specialties, from a fresh sprawling breakfast buffet to round-the-world gastronomic delights. It’s a spectacular spot: there’s a Josper-style grill, live cooking stations, Asian and Spicy Curry corners, glass tandoor, saj oven for oriental bread-making and a Japanese teppanyaki area. Sweet things also get a starring role, including a dedicated chocolate room where guests can watch and participate in live cooking sessions, a glass oven for viennoiseries and a lavish display of pastries and desserts.

Beach Rouge (12:30pm to 3:30pm)

Occupying a prime spot right on the sands and with spectacular views across the Indian Ocean, Beach Rouge is open for lunch and dinner. There’s a hint of French Riviera in the airy white-and-red decor. In the lounge area, cocktails and tapas make for lazy days and cool evenings by the Indian Ocean: flop down on cushions on the beach to the upbeat sound of top DJs. Local, fresh-from-the-sea produce shines in the kitchen, where chefs whip up tantalising feasts of the island’s best seasonal fare.

Duck Laundry (6:30pm to 10:30pm)

Heading further east, Duck Laundry is the top table in Mauritius today, offering contemporary-style Chinese dishes, featuring duck in its many guises including crowd-pleasing Peking duck with steamed pancakes. Dim sum, live noodle-making stations, a wood-fired duck oven and a Chinese barbecue station complete the experience, crowned by a varied selection of Chinese teas and Asian spirits.

Amari by Vineet (7pm to 10:30pm)

For a dash of Asian spice, head to Amari by Vineet, the resort’s new Indian restaurant – a clean-lined but opulent space for the Michelin-star chef’s scintillating fare. A leading light in the reinvention of Indian cuisine, Chef Vineet Bhatia won his first Michelin star at Zakia in London in 2001, followed by another in 2006 for his personal venture 'Rasoi' in London as well as in 2009 for 'Rasoi by Vineet' in Geneva. His masterful technique makes the textures and flavours of India shine, in sumptuous, subtly spiced dishes with contemporary flair.

Café LUX* (7am to 10pm)

Excellent coffee is a must, not a luxury; that’s why you’ll find a Café LUX* at the heart of LUX* Belle Mare. Café LUX* has revolutionised the world of hotel coffee, and our commitment remains clear: to offer our guests the finest barista-made coffee, day or night. Great coffee begins with freshly ground beans, so we roast our own in our on-site roasting rooms, which can be explored on our aromatic behind-the-scenes tour. Our specialist baristas keep up with all the latest trends and techniques – including Cold Press, Pour Overs and Nitro coffee. Bespoke ‘pod’ machines and a variety of Café LUX* blends allow guests to enjoy an aromatic cup in their room, and even at home.

The Tea House (11am to 6pm)

Experience the flavoursome and authentic

tea ceremony with our international tea selection

K Bar (10:30am to midnight)

Named after Kelly Hoppen, the K Bar entertains with its dragon-inspired cocktails and headlines with another LUX* first: a microbrewery feature in this 'gastro pub', where an exclusive range of craft beers are available on tap.

Mari Kontan (10:30am to midnight)

Exploring the vibrant culture and flavours of an extraordinary locale, Mari Kontan showcases the history, language, food, music and dance of the Sugar Island. Sample a selection of delicious, locally made produce including a variety of flavoured Mauritian rums – the perfect souvenirs for friends and family.

Private Dining

If you'd like to enjoy a little privacy, either with your partner or perhaps an intimate party for family and friends, LUX* Belle Mare offers an array of private dining alternatives to make your meal extra special. Enjoy a secluded soiree or a sumptuous lunch for two on the beach while a personal butler attends to your every need.

Sandy Toes bar

Powder-soft sands, warm azure waters, gently swaying palms …the beach at LUX* Belle Mare can be a hard place to leave. Luckily, you rarely need to thanks to the Sandy Toes Bar where everything you need is just steps from your sun lounger. This beach-based HQ is your on-call concierge for cocktails, activity bookings, weather forecasts (we predict sunshine), and instant info on the days happenings - from what’s cooking at our beach barbecue to which must-see film is screening under the stars that night.

Back at your lounger, if you’re just too relaxed to make the stroll across the sand, push your ‘Buzz Me’ button and a team member will magically appear to fulfil your every whim. Thirsty? Nothing goes with Mauritian sunshine quite like a glass of Frozé (a frozen Scrucap rosé - your new favourite tipple) or a freshly muddled frozen mojito. So lie back on that lounger and leave the rest to LUX*

Who says being lazy doesn't reap its rewards!
