01 Uncommon sense We’ve designed LUX* Island Resorts as multi-sensory places, embracing the sights, sounds, flavours, wares and perfumes of the Indian Ocean islands. It’s an experience that unfolds with subtlety and sensitivity as you explore the different aspects of island life. Enjoy a private, self-applied spa treatment using bath oils infused with island spices. Indulge in sea harvested oysters shucked at your table, drizzled in piquant sauces and washed down with a chilled, South African Sauvignon Blanc. Close your eyes and inhale deeply as a local vendor prepares a roti chaud in front of your eyes, spooning butter bean curry (or Gros Pois) and Rougaille (a spicy tomato sauce) into a stone baked wrap. See the sun go down and watch a projected image creating playful light patterns that dance around the beach. Revel in the vibrant colour and pulsating rhythms of local musicians and dancers. Celebrate each and every moment. LUX* is a feast for the senses. 18 Jardin d’herbes We invite you to step gently into the fragrant and enchanting world of our herb gardens where you’ll encounter a scene of sensorial repose. Perfumed, sheltered idylls, these jardins d’herbes offer a change of scenery for guests looking to dine al fresco but out of the sun and away from the social purr of our restaurants. These charming oases also supply our kitchens with fresh ingredients – grown on-site to keep food miles to a minimum as part of our desire to protect the island environment. Reserve a spot for an intimate lunch or dinner, help our chefs pick some fresh herbs and savour the senses as they prepare your private table d’hôte. 24 Man could live on this bread alone Imagine the appetising, warm wafts of baking bread on the cool morning air. At LUX*, you’ll be jumping out of bed early and hotfooting it to our Island Light bakeries for flaky, melt-in-the-mouth croissants, pains bursting with raisins and chocolate, rustic crostata, brioche á tête, sticky Danish pastries and healthy muffins. Under the expert supervision of boulanger pâtisier, Christian Gonthier, we honour the artisan artistry and traditions of Parisian bakeries and the influence of French cuisine on the islands of Mauritius and La Réunion. Soon, you’ll be strolling back to your villa in the morning sun, a bag of warm croissants in one hand, a bout de pain in the other, tearing off the top as your finder’s reward. Bonjour. 45 The LUX* journal You don’t just spend money on a wellearned holiday, but your equally precious time too. Most people only enjoy a few weeks away from work each year and that makes the time that we get with our loved ones and families all the more treasured. This is something we recognise at LUX* where we like to help people to celebrate life because each moment matters. Every guest that arrives at a LUX* resort receives a personal copy of the LUX* Journal. It’s a special notebook that we’ve designed to help you to record the special moments of your time with us. There are diary pages that allow you to plan your days, noting spa appointments, golf tee times or tennis lessons. We’ve included blank pages for doodling or capturing those flashes of inspiration that happen upon you whilst relaxing on a beach. There are convenient pockets for photos, tickets or tags and there’s even a section where you can record your own tasting notes on our exclusive range of Scrucap wines. 49 Photo safaris Through special partnerships that we have entered into with local photographers, LUX* is able to organise a series of guided photographic excursions – or ‘safaris’ – to inspirational locations across Mauritius, La Réunion and the Maldives. A Nature Safari takes in indigenous wildlife, flora, beaches, waterfalls and mountains, while Spiritual Safaris explore brightly coloured temples and beachside churches. Our Sporting Safari will help you develop your timing skills as you attempt to capture the action of sporting events like Mauritian horse racing, while our Market Safari provides another great opportunity to find interesting and challenging subjects found in island life. 21 Cake boss There’s nothing more inviting and celebratory than a cake gleaming with decadent icing, especially if you’ve made it with your own two hands! For special occasions and everyday children’s treats, pop into one of our unique cake decorating bars. Choose from a variety of pre-baked cakes and cupcakes and, with a helping hand from one of our passionate pastry chefs, let your creative spirit run free. With delicious butter and ganache icings, chocolate buttons, hundreds and thousands, sugar flowers, real blooms and lots more, this is perfect for kids (both large and small) who like to create their own yummy treats.

Actually they make a fine couple but the star’s real job is to lead your eye to our tagline – two lovely assonant words that simply describe the essence of the performance our Company has been working towards. *Lighter. Brighter. A lighter experience, free of the formalities and pretentions of more conventional productions. A spontaneous, technicolour performance that will stimulate the senses and live long after the curtain falls.
