LUX* South Ari Atoll

nice rooms and facilities, friendly personnel, convenient shuttle service to move around the island (2km distance), many restaurants although food expensive for the quality slow wifi

great staff amazing location

It's a stunning island which is well maintained by the staff. The staff is very friendly. And a big thank you to Ali who took care of our villa. He did a fabulous job. The hotel offers lots of activities. We had a few rainy days but we never felt bored. The food has a big variety and is always fresh and tasty. There are a few restaurants on the island which are all worth to visit. The hotel staff hides daily 20 messages in a bottle. We found one nearly every day which was fun. In total we had a memorable stay at the Lux and I would always recommend it. If we go back we would stay in a water villa instead of a beach villa. This would be the icing on the cake. Thanks Lux team!!!

Amazing beaches, crystal clear water, amazing food (worth the all inclusive upgrade), upgraded from beach villa to romantic water villa, private infiniti pool, great friendly staff, amazing coffee, so many little details--they've thought of everything! Truly paradise!

Lux* certainly lived up to its name. Luxurious, Oh Yeah!! Lets start from the beginning; as you drag your tired feet with your heavy bags through the airport, you will be greeted by a smiling Lux* rep waiting for you at the booth in the airport. Their smile took away a little bit of your tiredness away. Thts the last time you will see ur luggage, till u get to ur room. :) you will be waiting at Lux* lounge waiting for the seaplane. With complimentary coffee, pastries, macaroons n tidbits. You felt that your holiday has begun. Reaching Lux* after a quick 20mins seaplane ride, you will be greeted by Lux* amazing n cheerful staff and manager. This is where your holiday really start! Check in was so quick you feel lost as you will be surrounded by beautiful reception area facing the clear waters of Indian ocean. We stayed in the water villa ( A MUST) . I kid you not, we saw baby black tip shark, baby manta, fishes that look like nemo swimming outside our room. (I tried swimming with them, but they swam away)The 6 days stay in Lux* was incredible. Everyday, they have activities planned for us. Some are complimentary! Snorkelling and diving there was one of the best we had. Crystal clear waters and fantastic reefs. Paddle boats, jet skis, hover boarding. Just a few to name. Food could be a tat better. 5 star, definitely, wide variety, but a little pricey. Bfast spread could be better too. Our enormous villa is kept clean always. Already miss Lux*. So what r u guys waiting for!!!

Phenomenal !

Remarkable quality all around! The most surprising part was extremely fresh and delicious food and very friendly and professional staff. Hope the hotel management realizes that they are a big asset and takes a good care of them. Dive shop had very lean and efficient operation and relaxed attitude, letting more experienced divers go without a guide. The room is very clean and comfortable. All in all very positive experience. We will be planning a trip back next year!

We went for my husband's birthday and had an amazing time. The staff where so friendly and did a 5* job with the house keeping. The food was exceptional and that's coming from two chefs but it did cost a bit more than we thought. Over all we had the time of our lives and looking forward to going back.

My wife and our baby stayed here for a week to celebrate our wedding anniversary. LUX gives an amazing boutique luxury experience, we had high expectations and we were not disappointed!

The hotel was beautiful and the island was paradise. Stunning views while flying in the seaplane to our resort! Staff greeted us on arrival at the dock and helped us with an easy check in. They showed us to our room and made our stay relaxing and always checking to see if we had everything we needed.
