Lux South Ari Atoll - Maldives
An island paradise resort where you can experience the Maldives to its fullest.
Introduction
Nestled on a beautiful island full of tropical greenery, LUX* South Ari Atoll is surrounded by a fabulous lagoon, great for swimming and snorkelling, and is located less than an hour from some of the region’s most beautiful dive sites.
Whether suspended over water or scattered along the beach, every room, suite and villa is designed to make the most of its enchanting island surrounds. Light and breezy and ever so spacious, with splashes of bright colour, each room has a sophisticated sense of simplicity with sweeping views over the sparkling lagoon and beach. Take in the sights, sounds and colours of authentic island living in the leisurely comfort of a Beach Pavilion. Sunlight filters through lofty thatched rooms, while the luxurious bathroom offers a private garden with a refreshing outdoor shower.
Alternatively, enjoy sensational views over the lagoon from a spacious, west-facing Beach Pool Villa. Native wood accents and light sandy tones bring the natural beauty of island living inside, while a private terrace unfolds into a luxurious outdoor living space. Relax in the privacy of a secluded garden with sunken swimming pool, wooden deck, sun loungers and invigorating outdoor shower.
You will be spoilt for choice with eight restaurants, so you could dine at a different place each night of the week. Favourites include Senses, serving boat-fresh seafood by the pool, and East Market, where it’s all about fiery south-east Asian favours in a street food-style setting.
This is a good island for families as there’s plenty to keep kids and teens busy. The huge choice of watersports includes lesser-found adventures like flyboarding and hoverboarding, plus you can hope to spot whale sharks year-round. On land, there’s tennis and volleyball. And with the kids entertained, you can sneak off for beach yoga or an overwater treatment at the LUX* Me Spa.

An abundance of activities
Explore the depths of the ocean with access to some of the Maldives’ most beautiful dive sites and wrecks, where scuba enthusiasts can see an abundance of tropical fish and impressive, yet gentle, whale sharks. There’s also a wide range of water sports available at the boathouse, such as windsurfing, banana boat rides, water skiing, wake boarding and jet skiing. Alternatively, go on an adventure and explore the atoll on a private catamaran trip or enjoy a picnic on a neighbouring islet.
Take a break from the ocean with a game of beach table tennis, volleyball and tennis on floodlit courts. Visit LUX* Me fitness to enjoy a tailor-made training session complete with beach yoga, cycle around the lush island setting or challenge someone to a game of billiards and table football at the indoor games centre.
Spontaneity is encouraged at LUX* South Ari Atoll. Find one of the resort’s messages in a bottle for an unexpected treat or watch an impromptu screening at the al fresco cinema paradiso.
