Kuoni: LUX* Grand Gaube Mauritius

A revamped resort with two beaches and uber-cool interiors with a hint of African influence.

This Indian Ocean escape wraps invitingly around a cove at the northern tip of Mauritius. There’s no impersonal vibe like with some big chain hotels – staff will greet you by name and you’ll be spoilt in exceptional LUX* fashion. Lush gardens of bougainvillaea and banyans cocoon a spa, tennis courts, two swimming pools, fitness centre and golf driving range. Pick from two stunning beaches: caramel crescents of sand edged by palms. The bathwater-warm lagoon is the perfect spot to pass away the time.
