About this hotel

The Indian Ocean beckons from LUX* South Ari Atoll, which floats in the South Ari Atoll in the Maldives archipelago. This islet personifies the spirit of the destination, often hailed as one of the eco-friendliest resorts in the country. In line with the LUX* Collection, the all-inclusive beach resort exudes minimalist luxury accentuated by the inherent warmth of Maldivian hospitality, creating a place that feels like home the moment you land from your scenic seaplane journey.Sprawled across more than two miles of pristine sand, the resort offers 193 villas by renowned Thailand design studio P49 Deesign. Made with simplicity in mind, each villa connects the inside and the outside seamlessly with stunning whitewashed and azure-blue nautical elements throughout.Discover an array of Instagram-worthy spots dotted around the island — a hammock hovers above crystalline waters and an egg-shaped swinging chair nestles among lush foliage. They all offer invitations to savor life in the most laid-back way.
