On Dhidhoofinolhu Island in the south of the Maldives, LUX* South Ari Atoll is the ideal spot for a scenic break in paradise. Its spacious beach villas stretch along more than three-and-a-half kilometres of white sands, while the overwater villas sit over the clear seas – perfect if you want a front-row view of the lagoon’s thriving marine life. Whatever you’re looking for out of your Maldives holiday, you’ll find it here.

LUX* South Ari Atoll is something of a foodie paradise, with over 10 places to eat and drink across the resort. Dine on Asian delights at Umami or East Market, which serve up fresh teppanyaki dishes and authentic flavours from across the continent. Or enjoy a twist on British classics with Sri Lankan high tea at Senses Lounge, which serves delicate treats from its poolside location. If you’re looking for somewhere to unwind after swimming in the sea, visit East Market’s bar, where you can lie on a comfortable catamaran net and sip delicious Maldivian cocktails.

There’s always something to do at LUX* South Ari Atoll, as the resort offers plenty of activities for all tastes and interests. Work out in the state-of-the-art Technogym, which overlooks the blue Indian Ocean. Embark on a diving trip to the Maldives’ best coral reefs. And have a relaxing massage in an overwater treatment room at the LUX* ME Spa.
