LOCATION
The unique 5-star LUX* South Ari Atoll is located on the island of Dhidhoofinolhu in the Maldives.
Imagine a painting mixing the dark waters of the open sea, the turquoise waters of a lagoon, the white of a beach of fine sand and the bright green of vegetation…That is the first vision that you will have when approaching the atoll from the sky.
It takes 25 minutes by seaplane from Malé Velana International Airport.
DESCRIPTION
LUX* South Ari Atoll is a family vacation paradise. Lovers of sports and idleness will find real happiness.
The hotel consists of 187 pavilions, suites and villas, 8 restaurants, 4 bars, 1 cofee shop, 1 kids club, 1 teen club, 2 infinity pools, 1 spa, 1 fitness center, 1 diving center and 2 tennis courts.
The pier, dotted with pavilions and villas on stilts, is a real invitation to dive into the clear waters of the lagoon. On the beach, a curved coconut tree embellished with a solid rope has been turned into a natural swing for the delight of children and lovers of unusual photography.
Saying ‘Yes’ in such a heavenly setting as the Maldives is already an experience in itself, but LUX* South Ari Atoll works to make the most beautiful day of your life even more extraordinary. Add a local note to your ceremony through traditional poetic rituals, such as mixing two types of sands in a vase, a symbol of previously separate lives becoming a common existence. You can also entrust your wishes to the ocean, in the hollow of a coconut, or plant a palm tree that will grow in the image of your love for your dearest.
Before you leave, do not forget to stop at the Wish Tree. You can hang a small piece of wood adorned with your details and a wish. Each year, a wish is taken from the tree and its owner is offered a free stay at LUX* South Ari Atoll!
