In its ongoing commitment to staying ahead of trends and creating enriching experiences for every guest, LUX* Grand Gaube announces the launch of two exciting new additions: Studio 17, a vibrant teens' club, and GAIA, the first hotel pottery studio in Mauritius.

Renowned for its retro-chic elegance and culinary excellence, these new spaces reinforce the resort's vision of being a premier destination for everyone, from families with children of all ages, to couples and solo travellers. True to the spirit of LUX*, Studio 17 and GAIA are designed to spark connection, inspiration and self-expression, offering guests not only moments of relaxation, but also opportunities to learn and grow.

STUDIO 17: Freedom for Teens, Peace of Mind for Parents

Conveniently located next to PLAY, the resort's kids club, Studio 17 is a dynamic space created exclusively for teenagers. Designed to encourage connection and creativity, it offers young guests a place to relax, socialise and enjoy a wide range of activities.

From table tennis, basketball and pool, to a dedicated Game Zone equipped with PlayStation and Xbox consoles, Studio 17 invites friendly competition and shared fun. The reimagined Junk Art Gallery inspires artistic expression, while a giant puzzle and classic board games encourage collaboration and lighthearted challenges. A second-level relaxation lounge provides a comfortable setting for teens to unwind and interact with peers.

Studio 17 can be privatised for special events, ensuring unforgettable moments for every occasion. Whether teens are letting loose on the dance floor or gathering around a board game, Studio 17 is located just a few steps away, yet a world apart. It thus gives them the independence they value within a safe and supervised environment, creating memories that last long after the holiday ends.

GAIA : Shaping Earth into Art

Complementing the resort's exciting social spaces, the former Junk Art Gallery has been transformed into GAIA, a pottery studio in the heart of LUX* Grand Gaube – and proudly the first pottery studio in a hotel in Mauritius. Named after Gaia, the primordial Greek goddess of the Earth, the studio celebrates nature, transformation and the joy of creation.

Open three times a week, GAIA invites guests of all ages to experience the meditative art of shaping clay into lasting, beautiful forms. The studio can also be reserved for exclusive events, including Wine & Clay where creativity flows alongside a glass of wine, or private workshops for couples.

Younger guests are invited to join the Little Clay Club, with tailored hands-on sessions designed to spark imagination and confidence. GAIA is more than a studio – it is a space where ideas take shape, creativity flourishes, and earth inspires every creation.

Cradled by two turquoise bays on the northern coast of Mauritius, LUX* Grand Gaube continues to set the benchmark for contemporary luxury through its combination of laid-back elegance, innovation and warm Mauritian hospitality.With the opening of Studio 17 and GAIA, the resort reaffirms its dedication to crafting extraordinary experiences for guests of all ages.
