Description

LUX South Ari Atoll, A Sea-Kissed Sanctuary

Floating serenely within the marine‑protected waters of South Ari Atoll, LUX South Ari Atoll* is a resort where expansive lagoons feel like living pools and every sunrise frames a story of beauty, discovery, and elegance.

A Resort Crafted for Seclusion and Wonder

Set upon Dhidhoofinolhu Island, this luxurious haven unfolds across two miles of pristine soft-sand shoreline and over stilted villas immersed in crystal-clear lagoons. With 193 minimalist-chic villas to choose from, ranging from Romantic Pool Water Villas to the extravagant LUX* Villa, every stay offers a sense of serene luxury and thoughtful design.

Where Ocean Life Enters the Lens

This is one of the world’s rare havens where whale sharks visit year-round, making every dive, snorkel, or boat outing a chance to encounter these gentle giants. More than 50 dive sites, rich with coral, wrecks, and marine diversity, lie within easy reach of the resort’s dive center.

Spaces That Mirror the Ocean’s Stillness

The resort’s design balances sleek calm and natural allure. Villas are outfitted with thatched roofs, glass-floored living areas, and infinity pools that stretch toward the horizon. The feel is smart yet unpretentious, with touches like striped beach bags, flip-flops, and jars of loose-leaf teas that feel personal and welcoming.

Epicurean Pathways and Cultural Lightness

Offers an exceptional dining ensemble: eight restaurants and five bars serve the world’s cuisines, from Japanese and Italian to Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian, alongside signature experiences like barista-crafted coffee at Café LUX* and in-house ice cream at the ICI parlour. Plant-based travelers will appreciate the Keen On Green menus, embracing healthy options without compromise.

Moments That Stay with You

Relaxation here is intimate and enormous at once: the LUX* Me Spa invites indulgent overwater treatments, yoga flows, and plunge pool pauses. For families, clubs for kids and teens ensure wonder and exploration of equal measure. Meanwhile, guests can find playful pleasure in beach cinemas, floating hammocks, half-submerged swings, lagoon yoga sessions, and romantic strolls across natural sandbanks set within shooting-star skies.

A Symphony of Luxury, Play, and Conservation

Set within a marine protected area, the resort is deeply committed to sustainability, hosting one of the world’s largest floating solar platforms, banning single-use plastics, and welcoming guests to plant corals or join lagoon clean-ups with their resident marine biologist.

In essence, LUX* South Ari Atoll unfolds as a poetry of coastal elegance, where water and sky blend into the design, where natural wonders arrive daily, and where every corner reveals artistry in tranquility, adventure, and heartfelt hospitality.
