Our stay at Lux South Ari Atoll was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the warmest smiles and outstanding hospitality. The staff consistently went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. A special mention goes to Ahmed from the cleaning staff and Elena at reception, whose attention to detail and care truly enhanced our experience. While we won’t name everyone individually, we deeply appreciated the impeccable service across all restaurants and the efficiency of the shuttle drivers. Every interaction reflected the team’s dedication to creating unforgettable memories for their guests. We highly recommend Lux South Ari Atoll and can’t wait to return!

Absolutely fantastic hotel, beautiful facilities and the staff were absolutely wonderful- cheerful, welcoming and friendly. I'd like to also give a particular shout out to the staff at the medical clinic. My husband was taken ill whilst we were there ( totally unrelated to the hotel I must add) and the medical team were amazing, and took great care of him. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to visit the Maldives.

Beautiful resort and facilities! Gorgeous pure white soft sand, clear torquoise waters, lush vegetation. So clean, tidy and immaculate. Great instagram opportunities. Good sized long island with many places where you can be isolated. Abundance of staff who were so helpful, friendly and conscientious. Having your own "assigned staff" contactable via Whatsapp was very helpful. Everything we needed was dealt with through our contact, Jovi. Great variety in eateries although very expensive in USD and 26% taxes. In room food delivery for USD$8++ ended up being the most effective for us. We really enjoyed the live mellow music and 2 for 1 cocktails at the East Bar Happy Hour. Highly recommend the whisky based Yamayaki and fruity Ikebana cocktails. We stayed in a Beach Pavilion for 3 nights (room 312) and Water Villa for 2 nights (room 431). We loved the Water Villa! It was so beautiful and well laid out. It was a dream to lie in bed and watch the sea through the huge glass panes. We were fortunate to not have much seaweed in the water around our villa and had uninterrupted sunset. Beds in both places were so comfortable and even though pillows collapsed, they were surprisingly supportive. It was quiet in both places despite having neighbours. We went on the free snorkeling tour about 10min boat ride away and there was a good amount and variety of fish. We hoped to catch sight of manta rays around the sea plane pier ~7:30pm but no luck on the nights we were there. Staff made my 50th birthday so special - birthday messages and flowers made of palm fronds, discount and upgrade offers, front table on the beach at Allegria for a delicious dinner (Tagliatelle Lobster recommended) with restaurant staff singing "Happy Birthday" and a delectable chocolate cake!!! So spoilt! As we take things slow, 5 nights wasn't enough at this paradise! Aside - faulty booking.com didn't upload Water Villa jpgs

My family of 4 adults had a splendid vacation at LUX South Ari Atoll! Staff were warm and friendly. We are especially grateful to Giada, for her prompt response and making every effort to personalise the activities for my family members during our 6D5N stay. There was an excellent spread of quality food. My husband and I particularly enjoyed the ice cream served by Masud at ICI. We enjoyed the complimentary outdoor photo shoot. A picture speaks a thousand words. The photos will always remind us of how we celebrated life at LUX South Ari Atoll in Maldives. For spa lovers, don't miss out on the Signature Spa Treatment!
