History
Set on Mauritius' quieter northeastern coast, the resort at Grand Gaube first opened around 1990 as Le Grand Gaube. It later operated as The Legends before being taken over and transformed by the LUX* group, which reopened it in December 2017 as LUX* Grand Gaube following a major redesign by British designer Kelly Hoppen that celebrated a 1970s retro-chic aesthetic.
The resort spreads across a lush peninsula between two beaches and today offers around 186 rooms and suites plus villas, palm-studded gardens and multiple pools, positioned as one of the flagship properties of the Mauritian-born LUX* Resorts & Hotels brand.
