The newly unveiled LUX* Belle Mare and LUX* South Ari Atoll have emerged as new Five-Star award winners, alongside the ultra-luxury flagship resort LUX* Grand Baie and its LUX* Me Spa at LUX* Grand Baie.
At the same time, sister resorts and spas including LUX* Grand Gaube, LUX* Le Morne, SALT of Palmar, LUX* ME Spa at LUX* Belle Mare and LUX* ME Spa at LUX* South Ari Atoll have secured the Four-Star accolade.
The Forbes Travel Guide is the world-acclaimed authority on excellence in hospitality and the Five-Star rating is considered the hospitality industry’s most prestigious recognition of quality.
The rigorous process sees anonymous professional inspectors evaluate hotels based on up to 900 objective standards with an emphasis on service, flawless experience and amazing facilities.
These accolades have cemented The Lux Collective’s established reputation as a renowned global luxury resort operator of choice.
“The Lux Collective continues to build upon its Star Rating success from last year, now with a collection of nine award-winning hotels and spas on our 2024 list,” said Amanda Frasier, Forbes Travel Guide’s President of Ratings.
"Its staff demonstrates that when it comes to laid-back luxury service, without compromising the smallest details, the team delivers time and time again. Notably, we congratulate LUX* Grand Baie and its LUX* ME Spa, LUX* Belle Mare and LUX* South Ari Atoll for each earning the coveted Five-Star award for 2024."
“Given the undisputed prestige of the Forbes Travel Guide, we are honoured to achieve nine Star Awards across our growing portfolio. These awards demonstrate our unwavering commitment to consistently deliver industry-leading service, making Life Extraordinary and each moment matter in line with our brand promise. With several new resorts to open across the world in the next few years, we are excited to accelerate our Group’s global expansion,” said Paul Jones CMG, Chief Executive Officer of The Lux Collective.
