Official restaurant page lists Palm Court, INTI, Bodrum Blue, Beach Rouge, BB's, Creole Smokehouse, Cafe LUX, ICI, G&T100, Rum Tree House and private-dining concepts; Expedia summarizes six restaurants.
Pools & waterplay
Expedia lists two outdoor pools; official overview identifies the Banyan grown-ups area with its own pool and cove.
The beach itself
Official and guest sources describe two private beaches or coves and a lagoon-style north-coast Mauritius setting with strong swimming and water-sports appeal.
- Calm water, swimmable straight off the sand
- Caveat: Entry depth varies along the shore
Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.
Who fits where at LUX Grand Gaube
All 4 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wellness Junior Suite | Sleeps 2 | 549 ft²51 m² | 1 bedroom | Not published |
| Junior Suite | Sleeps 3 | 603 ft²56 m² | 1 bedroom | Not published |
| Ocean Junior Suite | Sleeps 3 | 753 ft²70 m² | 1 bedroom | Ocean view |
| Family Suite | Sleeps 4 | 915 ft²85 m² | 2 bedrooms | Not published2 baths · connecting |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

The rate, and where to check it
Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.
Per-person figures assume two sharing. Taxes and fees vary by channel, so compare the final screen, not the first one.
Where else to look

- Booking.com (opens in a new tab)
- Expedia (opens in a new tab)
- Tripadvisor reviews (opens in a new tab)
Same stay on every channel. Book wherever it comes out cheapest, whether or not we earn on it. Some of these are affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.
Leave an email and we'll flag the moment rates land, then any real drop after that.
