LUX* Belle Mare has great experience in welcoming honeymoon couples and in organising weddings in the most beautiful of tropical settings ’ but there can never be more than one wedding on any given day as, on your special day, the team will be looking only after you. Guests who have a specific date in mind should make sure they book early!

Various wedding options are possible, including the extravagantly oriental Royal Indian Wedding.

As in Indian tradition, before the wedding day the bride will choose her flowers, jewellery and saris and the groom, if he wishes, a smart Indian costume.  The Hindu ceremony begins in the morning with ritual ceremonies and beauty treatments in the Spa. There is tea in the afternoon in the Maharajah Suite, when the bride’s hands are decorated with Mehendi, a traditional Indian art form. The gazebo is sumptuously decorated for the wedding ceremony, presided over by a Civil Officer, followed by a blessing ceremony performed by a Hindu priest. A champagne toast follows back in the Suite, followed by dinner and a special dance routine. Pure Oriental magic!

A hostess is there to help the couple at all times and to look after all the arrangements.

More traditional weddings take place either in the gazebo or on the beach itself, conducted by a Civil Officer. After aperitifs, a romantic dinner follows either in the gazebo, on the beach, on your own terrace or at a specially set table in one of the restaurants.

A special champagne wedding breakfast is brought to the newly-married couple next morning in their bedroom.

To make their holiday even more romantic, honeymooners and wedding couples can opt for a whole range of extras, including a horse-drawn carriage, candlelit dinners on the beach, Sega dancers and French champagne. To make the wedding day perfect, you can also add sessions in the Spa, a manicure and pedicure and a leisurely hour or two with the hairdresser.  Certain formalities need to be completed, but full details can be given to you at the time of booking.
