LUX* Le Morne

t’s the best kind of comfort food. Head to East, our gastronomic Thai restaurant, led by the master hands of the chef Suksan Supprasert. The catch? This restaurant is menu-less. Instead, chat with the waiter about your likes and dislikes when it comes to food, and the kitchen team will prepare a vibrant dish. As for the restaurant setting, well, it’s steps from the beach (the view of the moonlit lagoon is “wow”), with sleek dark interiors–perfect for Date Night.

ICI ice cream–our very own in-house ice cream brand. It’s homemade using the simplest, freshest ingredients. It’s loved by everyone, especially our Little Travellers. It’s refreshing on a hot summer’s day. It tastes best eaten by the swimming pool or under a coconut tree. Flavours range from classic to creative. And yes, we serve dairy-free and sorbets too.

An imported carrot has travelled thousands of miles, consuming millions of liters in fuel to reach your plate. We can do better than that, don’t you think? Yeah, we think so too. That’s why we challenged our chefs to think about how we can source more thoughtfully and make food a force for good. That’s how Keen on Green came to be. In our kitchens, we prepare delicious plant-based dishes that let the produce shine through, and connect you to the people and stories behind each ingredient.

The chicest café in town draws its soul from the typical Milanese cafés that line the cobbled streets of the Italian. It’s a place where one finds respite, inspiration, and fuel in the form of a perfect shot of espresso. Or two. It is where you can guzzle down a Macchiato or linger at a table and sip Aperol Spritz. Aperitivo, they say. Although coffee is served from dawn to dusk, Maison LUX* is attuned to the hour of the day: Morning coffee and pastries

If you’re seeking a laid-back, unpretentious environment with great food and wine, this is it. Slip off your shoes and take a seat at one of the tables on the sand under a parasol. A glass of rosé served with a side of sea breeze? 100 percent yes. Al fresco dining? Here for it. After a lazy walk on the beach at sunset when the sky turns golden-pink, head to The Beach for a dinner under the swaying coconut palms and starlit night sky.

The Kitchen caters to all palates thanks to its variety. Some nights may take you on a culinary journey to India; others, to Italy.  But don’t let the variety fool you: we’ve figured out how to not only reduce, but get to zero food waste! It took some scheming and planning, but we now feed 700 meals per month to schoolkids from a neighbouring school. To get back to the restaurant, it’s facing the lagoon and pool with indoor and outdoor seating.

Past the lobby and Maison LUX* is a gorgeous space that opens onto the pool and Le Morne lagoon. That’s The Bar. The mustard couches, the neutral beiges and tropical green plants all exude that feel-good holiday feel. Sipping a cocktail is that much more enjoyable when you’re facing a shimmering lagoon. And even more so when you know the herbs and ingredients came right from the resort’s herb garden. The Bar is where you can sit, catch up, relax, and just appreciate the wonders of a holiday.

As you walk barefoot down the beach, keep your eyes open for a tiny but chic fisherman’s shack. There, you’ll bump into Vik–a friendly face of LUX* Le Morne. One of those people you meet and feel like you’ve known forever. Vik loves the sea more than anything. And he knows it better than anyone. Curious about tasting sea urchin? Vik is your guy. Stop by his place for a taste of rum arrangé, local rum that is left to macerate for months with spices or tropical fruit. Taste freshly-caught sea urchin with a squeeze of lemon, and why not a glass of bubbly.
