Overview

A 5-star resort in South Ari Atoll

This beautiful luxury Maldives hotel, located on South Ari Atoll in a Marine Protected Area and a mere 20-minute plane ride from the airport of Male, offers one of the most unique stays.

Our numerous restaurants serve delectable food, making for a first-class all-inclusive offer. And if you want to be en tête-à-tête on a sandbank or have breakfast served on a floating tray in your pool in our hotel in Maldives, just ask.

More than a luxurious stay in the Maldives, we want our guests to experience the Maldivian dream to the fullest in our hotel. Head up to your beautiful Water Villas, perched over the Maldivian lagoon, or in your authentic and charming Beach Pavilion, and wake up to the sound of waves, surrounded by breathtaking views.

Every room, suite and villa at this Maldives hotel has its own delightful features: spacious bedrooms, luxurious bathrooms, exquisite sun deck… Enjoy your private tropical garden, facing the white sandy beach, or the intimacy of your private pool overlooking the lagoon in our Maldives hotel.

With 50 dives sites nearby, you can snorkel and dive to your heart’s content among the rainbow fish and shark whales. Getting around the island is easy - and fun: bicycle through the tropical vegetation or take the shuttle that runs on solar energy. We’re big on sustainability too - you can even adopt a coral and participate in the preservation of this beautiful ecosystem. It’s no wonder LUX* South Ari Atoll is a favourite hotel in the Maldives.

Looking for some romance? LUX* South Ari Atoll, a premier Maldives hotel, is one of the best places for a romantic holiday. The “Romantic’’ and ‘’Temptation’’ water villas have been specially created for couples.

Good to know

The small print, in plain words

Arriving

Check-in from 14:00, check-out by 12:00. Early check-in and late check-out are usually possible — we request them with the booking.

Rates

Rates move by season, board basis and market, so we quote per enquiry rather than publish a nightly figure. Net or commissionable, whichever your agency works on.

Who you deal with

One contact in Malé owns the file end to end — the property, the transfers, and anything that moves once your clients land.
