The Lux Collective has revealed new openings in the pipeline for China, Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The Group’s brand of boutique and purpose-led properties SALT will debut outside of Mauritius with two openings in China, whilst The Lux Collective’s flagship luxury brand LUX* will launch in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, as well as growing its presence in Africa with a futuristic, opulent safari-camp in Botswana.

The Lux Collective plans to launch a new retreat in the mystical Shangri-La, Yunnan in the late summer of 2021.

The Lux Collective has announced plans for its newest property, LUX* Grand Baie Resort & Residences. The hotel will open in Mauritius in the second quarter of 2021 and will become the flagship property for the group’s much-loved brand LUX* Resorts & Hotels.

For 2020, progressive Mauritian boutique hotel SALT of Palmar has launched a guest chef series with a line-up of well-known, sustainably minded cooks who will collaborate with the resort’s local chefs to create one-off events and specialist dishes.

There is excellent air connection between Australia and Mauritius via Singapore Airlines, and, once on the Indian Ocean island, plenty of luxury resorts await.  I went to check out two of the newest, both members of the just-renamed The Lux Collective.

Opening rates for the newly launched hotel brand, SALT, have been set for its first property, the 59-key SALT of Palmar that will open on the east coast of Mauritius on 1 November, 2018.
