Belle Mare holidays don't scrimp when it comes to luxury touches. The beach is a worldy and the hotels operate at celeb-pleasing standards.
Little and large
The beach at Belle Mare seems to have missed the less-is-more memo. This east coast town’s an extra-small on the size scale, with most of the action coming from a string of swanky seafront hotels. The beach, on the other hand, is more of an XL, and looks like something from a James Bond flick. A huge slither of vanilla-coloured sand’s edged by all of the major picturesque tick points – a tropical fringe of trees, bright turquoise waters and fishing boats bobbing in the shallows.
High-end digs
None of the hotels in this neck of the woods are lacking when it comes to looks. A handsome appearance is the minimum requirement for setting up shop on the shores of Belle Mare, and top-end facilities come in at a close second. Take the LUX* Belle Mare, for instance. Junior suites come as standard, the decor’s been dreamt up by a top interior designer, and everything from the swimming pools to the Oriental tea house comes with Indian Ocean views.
