11 pop up Stay at a conventional resort and before long you’ll know where everything is. At LUX , however, we’re in touch with our impromptu side. You came on holiday to escape routine so why would you wish to find more here? We take pleasure in surprising you with delightful pop-up treats: an ice cream cart here, a fresh coconut stall there. One evening find a secret bar. Later that night, join friends to track a shooting star. Al fresco dining, private picnics, DIY spa packs and hidden goodies maintain our spontaneous approach. There one day and gone the next, we promise to keep things fresh and constantly evolving.
48 26 starry, starry night The Southern Cross, the Milky Way, distant and infinitesimal galaxies. Enjoying negligible light pollution, the night skies of the Indian Ocean can be quite simply spellbinding. LUX* is all about light so how appropriate we thought it would be to introduce mobile observatories to enable you to take a closer look at the incandescence of the heavens above. Knowledgeable and amusing guides will inform and inspire you with facts about the constellations and fascinating tales and legends from island folklore. Whether you’re in Mauritius, La Réunion or the Maldives, a starry night in the Indian Ocean is truly special. Once seen, never forgotten. lux me Would you like to leave behind that feeling of overwork and heaviness once and for all? Do you like to look forward to going home knowing how to sustain the brighter spirits that you’ve enjoyed on holiday? LUX* Me is a comprehensive and fully integrated wellbeing philosophy. More than a programme, it represents a step by step path to a better and healthier way of life. Naturally, we offer pilates and yoga classes, a meditation space, al fresco classes and we provide specialist personal trainers who focus on you and your requirements, not just computerised contraptions. LUX* Me is all about you – if that makes sense. You spend the rest of the year working and looking after the needs of others. Here’s your chance to put number one first. 41 all night long Island resorts are natural magnets for people wishing to escape their fast-paced, urban lifestyles. But after three or four days of doing nothing and catching up on sleep, some of us get itchy feet and may fancy upping the pace now and then. If you’re one of us and would like the party to continue when the band stops, LUX* has developed a late entertainment excursion service where we’ll accompany you to popular island hotspots. Whatever vibe you’re looking for – chilled out beach party, pumping club or a glass of bubbly at a chichi lounge, we know the see and be seen and can also arrange guestlist access with a little notice. We’ll even make sure you get there and back in one piece, no matter how high your heels or how potent the local rum. Lionel Richie, eat your heart out. Let the music play on. 12 Game, set & match Here at LUX*, we are not averse to a bit of friendly competition and we even encourage a little family or interguest rivalry. It’s all in good spirit though so ultra-competitive dads please stay ringside! From time to time we’ll set up a new game in a new location, so whether you’re a village century maker, a volleyball voyeur, a soccer star in the making or a badminton bad boy, there’ll be plenty of opportunity to show us your reverse sweep, Pele strike or overhead smash. For active souls rather less inclined to throwing themselves around the sand, there’s aqua aerobics, pétanque, croquet and more, with indoor games available from reception and outdoor games scattered around the grounds. Let the games begin. 23 44 you’ll never watch alone If you are a sports fanatic and can’t bear the thought of missing a major sporting event, welcome to Final Whistle – an impromptu area that we’ll set up whenever there’s a big match on. Embracing the notion of sport as a social ritual, fans of all colours can gather to catch up on the latest action accompanied by ice-cold beers, fruit juices and deliciously indulgent snacks such as burgers, chips and lamb shawarma wraps. Some evening fixtures may be projected on our Screen on the Beach, while daytime games will be shown in the Bar, but whatever sport you’re into – from football, rugby, cricket and tennis to the Olympics (Summer and Winter) or Formula One racing, you can enjoy all the action with a generous side order of atmosphere thrown in. The sound of music There’s nothing quite like the classics. And we’re not talking about Julie Andrews here, although she could yodel the goats off a Swiss mountain. No, we refer to Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven and Rachmaninov et al. Exquisite? Yes. In the Indian Ocean? Maybe not. LUX* has cut the sombre classics, lazy jazz, pan pipe medleys and predictable bands. LUX* Island Resorts have been conceived as multi-sensory places for which our toneperfect sound architects, Ben Bridgewater and Dan Lywood, have curated a varied and sensitive music collection. Whether you’re dining by the sea, enjoying a massage or chilling by the pool, we’ll make sure that your aural receptors will be washed in top tunes and not drowned in Baccarat or Bach.
