What we think

Skylark only includes hotels that meet our stamp of approval. Our editorial review for this one isn’t ready yet — but we’re working on it! Below is the hotel’s own description.

LUX* Grand Baie, a modernist marvel seemingly dropped onto a crescent of sand on the northern shores of Mauritius, turns heads. This new generation boutique-style resort introduces travelers to the seductive, slow pace of island living. But not too slow… LUX* Grand Baie is exciting and playful, mirroring the adjacent beach town from which it takes its name. Whether it’s the unparalleled culinary scene or the breath-taking rooftop experience, there is truly no other celebratory place to be. A real invitation to seize the moment. Each suite, villa, residence, and penthouse is a labor of love by famed British designer Kelly Hoppen CBE and JFA Architects. Each accommodation is made to look and feel like a designer’s vacation home in the tropics. So settle in, relax, sunbathe, host some friends for a day party, take a dip in your heated villa pool, or just do nothing at all. In other words, make yourself at home.
