LUX* Grand Gaube
History & Story
The totally reimagined retro-chic tropical retreat, tucked away on a peninsula bordering two coves, celebrates life in the tropics the LUX* way. The eye-catching design of Kelly Hoppen blends perfectly with the surrounding tropical greenery, and each room, suite and villa is made to feel like a home—that is, if home is having an outdoor bathtub overlooking the Indian Ocean. The resort is known for its focus on wellness and its culinary gems, which include a fabulous Peruvian, an overwater Turkish restaurant and even a rum treehouse.
Development Strategy
We work with a single objective in mind: develop thoughtfully designed and truly differentiated experiences that add immediate value to individual owners’ investments and position their assets for success.
Date Renovation
The renovation of the LUX* Grand Gaube, at the cost of Rs 1.2 billion, will start on 1st June 2017 and will be financed both by the sale of Tamassa and by bank loans. It was the Mauritian architect Jean Francois Adam who was chosen to work on this project, with renowned interior designer Kelly Hoppen. Their proposals for the establishment are innovative and striking, both for the rooms and the public spaces.
