Read it your way
LUX* Le Morne is a beachfront resort set directly beneath Le Morne Brabant mountain on the southwest coast of Mauritius. Guests love the spacious suites, prime sunset views from private daybeds, and quality food across multiple venues. However, drinks and à la carte dining add up quickly without an all-inclusive package, and sound carries easily through shuttered bathroom doors and adjoining room walls. 2121022

What travelers noticed
- Guest rooms feature comfortable Sleep Tight king beds, wooden ceiling fans, and black-and-white nature photography on the walls. 8149
- Bathrooms are outfitted with marble double basins, soaking bathtubs, and location-themed resort toiletries. 18823
- Dining options draw high praise, particularly the beachfront tables and the tailored dishes at East, the resort's Thai restaurant. 2419
- Staff provide attentive hospitality, offering personalized gestures and assisting with on-site watersports like kayaking and windsurfing. 24
The catch
- Reviewers differ on room locations: Ocean Junior Suites sit right on the beach but offer less lawn privacy, whereas Prestige Junior Suites are set back and feel more secluded. 62224
- Some guests find the secluded southwest coast position wonderfully peaceful, while others note the removed setting leaves few alternative dining and shopping options nearby. 18

- “After enjoying the buffet lunch, we checked in with the front desk and discovered our room was ready.” 22
- “One of the more impressive aspects of LUX* Le Morne is how much dining variety it packs into a boutique-style resort footprint. The restaurants and bars line-up covers the everyday, the elevated and the experiential, without ever feeling generic.” 15
- “For a coffee fix head over to Café LUX* for the finest barista-made Cold Press or Pour Overs.” 14
- “Dining at LUX* Le Morne is a celebration of Mauritian flavour, creativity, and care. Whether you're sipping coffee beneath the palms or dining under a sky of candles, every meal is designed to delight both the palate and the planet.” 2
- “For date night, dress up for East, the resort's refined Thai restaurant set just steps from the shore. The zero-waste kitchen has no set menu - instead, the chef tailors dishes to your tastes on the spot. Expect authentic flavours, beautiful presentation, and a serene, dimly lit setting that does the trick every time.” 24
- “KM Karen Morris traveler We had an upgrade to a Junior suite as we were on our honeymoon which was a really lovely surprise! We had amazing food at Les Pavillions.” 12
- “We booked a bed and breakfast rate and absolutely loved the breakfast! The breakfast was full buffet with tons of things: fresh fruit, kombuchas, juices, sparkling wine, pastries, breads, cheeses, meats, cereal, egg station, and a rotation of dishes like noodles and curries daily.” 9
- “I highly recommend the Beach restaurant; its chef in the kitchen deserves nothing but praise.” 11

- “The breakfast spread was really impressive and high quality. Do not skip breakfast!” 9
- “And the desserts, oh my, they're nothing short of heavenly. Each sweet creation is a masterpiece, promising to transport you to a world of pure indulgence.” On camera169:23

- “From the moment you arrive, LUX* Le Morne feels like home. The staff greet you by name, the food celebrates local flavour, and the sunsets seem to pause time.” 2
- “Breakfast is served as a luxurious buffet bursting with fresh options - from tropical fruit platters to made-to-order eggs and flaky pastries.” 2
- “All LUX* resorts offer incredible dining and LUX* Le Morne is no different.” 14
- “Meanwhile, East is the resort's a la carte Thai restaurant. I particularly enjoyed the crispy duck salad; a spicy Papaya salad with chilli dressing; a beef stir fry with black pepper; and selections from the lobster menu.” 19
- “Dining at LUX* Le Morne is varied and vibrant, with several restaurants offering everything from refined international cuisine to authentic local flavours.” 10
- “Our favourite lunch choice was the Beach Restaurant, located at the far end of the LUX Le Morne Resort. Under a small roof, the tables are set on a deck literally on the beach. The view is stunning and we found the food to be top quality and delicious.” 22
- “Food is another thing that LUX Le Morne is justifiably proud of. They make their own brand of coffee (we personally inspected the roastery at their sister hotel LUX Belle Mare), and our reviewer is still dreaming fondly of the fish at the Mediterranean Beach Restaurant.” 6
- “While enjoying the beach, guests are able to order from the bar or beach menu, but we found the service inconsistent during our stay and often preferred to get dressed and walk to one of the restaurants for lunch.” 22
- “We had all our breakfasts and some lunches and dinners at the Kitchen Restaurant. Food is spread out, offered buffet-style, allowing guest to select their own or be served by staff at specific stations. We found there to be a good variety of food options daily, with the food being fresh and tasty.” 22

- “The Kitchen is the main restaurant set on lovely decking overlooking the lagoon.” 14
- “The Beach Restaurant serves Mediterranean classics whilst exceptional Thai food can be found at East.” 14
- “For dinner, EAST stands out as the more destination-led choice. The Thai-inspired restaurant is driven by Chef Suksan Supprasert and combines bold Thai flavours with local ingredients in a setting just steps from the beach. It is the kind of restaurant that gives a resort stay a stronger sense of culinary identity rather than simply ticking the 'specialty dining' box.” 15
- “Rooted in heritage, refined in execution, Lur Manoir dining room is a culinary ode, past and present.” 4
- “The food at Lux le Morne was amazing. There are three restaurants - two a la carte and an incredible, ever-changing live-cooking buffet.” 21
- “Through reviews of LUX Le Morne Resort and recommendations from the staff, we booked the East restaurant for our birthday celebration, as it was said to have the best cuisine. Though we did enjoy the food, it did not impress or wow us as expected, no more than the Kitchen Restaurant buffet.” 22

- “They went out of their way to engage and interact with our son, Joshua, always bringing him his favourite treats throughout the day. We stayed in a Prestige Junior Suite, which is perfect for families and situated right on the beach” 21
- “We opted for the prestige sea-view junior suite. Our bungalow housed two attached rooms, each slightly offset from the other, so the private decks were not side by side. A great feature that allows for privacy and less shared noise between units.” 22
- “I'm in an upstairs superior room, which is spacious and comfortable with a large balcony looking towards the Oasis pool and the lagoon beyond.” 23
- “The room itself was large and spacious, decorated in deep mahogany wood tones, with plenty of storage space behind the shuttered doors.” 22
- “Now, let's explore the room, a sanctuary of luxury and comfort.” On camera161:03
- “The room interiors are clean, spacious and have a traditional design aesthetic.” 19
- “The king sized bed was comfortable and encompassed most of the room.” 22
- “What I like most about the Junior Suite is that it appears to strike the right balance between comfort and atmosphere. It feels elevated without losing the relaxed beach-house mood that defines the rest of the resort.” 15
- “The king bed was very comfortable and the pillows were the best of the hotels we stayed at on this trip. There was a ceiling fan, the air conditioning was quiet, and the room had shutters.” 9
- “We make it back in time to our room to catch yet another picturesque sunset from the daybed on our balcony.” 19

- “The woman in charge, Manie was the exception as she was wonderful and took care of us; even walked us out to the car to say goodbye.” 12
- “The Thai-themed restaurant, East, is more expensive (it is not included for guests paying full board) but it has been rated the best Thai in Africa and certainly stands up to anything you might be served in Thailand.” 23
- “There is also an ice-cream kiosk for the kids (and, let's face it, the adults) to enjoy. It should be noted that Mauritius is not cheap and neither are the resorts, so expect to pay significantly more for meals than you would in Australia.” 23
- “Do not skip breakfast! We had dinner at the Thai restaurant one evening and enjoyed it. The food was high quality, well presented, and yes it was expensive but in line with what we pay here in Vancouver.” 9
- “I would fully encourage anyone to use the all inclusive luxury package as drinks and food there are very expensive and the all-inclusive package really paid off.” 12
