What sets it apart
The roof is the argument: Bisou, the hotel’s rooftop, brings together a restaurant, a bar and an infinity pool, and the same level hosts Muscle Up on the roof, an open-air fitness space, with a thirty-metre Olympic-standard running track. Below, the LUX* ME spa covers 1,625 square metres on several levels, with a Turkish hammam, a heated pool and a hydrotherapy circuit on the lower floor, a Niyama mind and body studio, an indoor cycling studio, an Oway hair salon and the Révérence studio by Bastien Gonzalez for hand and foot care.
The mood
Dining is the second signature of the house: Moroccan cooking at Walima by Bisou, contemporary Asian at Ai KISU, which uses the Japanese warayaki straw-fire method, a beach club and main restaurant at Beach Rouge, a Milanese café-bar at Maison LUX*, the ICI artisan ice cream bar, a culinary laboratory for the chefs’ research, and a nightclub, Club Ai KISU, which also draws Mauritians and expatriates. The villas and penthouses come with a dedicated butler.
