LUX* South Ari Atoll reviews
“Awesome place to stay in the Maldives.”
LikedFriendly and helpful staff. Excellent food; lots of variety. Good facilities.
DislikedGoing home.
LikedSuch a beautiful place it is literally paradise. We went on our honeymoon and it couldn’t have been better. From the service to the food to the drinks all of it was amazing I definitely recommend all inclusive because the cost can really add up if you’re spending out-of-pocket so I’m really happy we went with all inclusive option . Also the romantic pool villas are not as nice as the other overwater villas even though they’re more expensive. The standard overwater villas are in a nicer part of the island and the rooms are much nicer we had the privilege to stay at both but preferred the overwater villas without a pool. Besides, you don’t really need a pool when you’re on the Indian Ocean .
“TOP TIER SERVICE AND FOOD”
LikedBeautiful rooms, incredible food, and service is TOP TIER
DislikedNothing, everything was great. The mosquitoes bit us a lot but that’s not the resorts fault lol
“Incredible, Paradise, Awesome”
LikedWe love everything from our arrival at Male airport until our departure. This atoll is paradise and the team (Gabrielle, Anfal, all guys diving and water sports, Chef Allan) make our stay amazing. Thank you for your hospitality and support.
DislikedWe want stay longer for our next trip here.

“If you want to snorkel with a whale shark, this is a good bet.”
LikedWhale shark snorkeling - swam with a whale shark for 3km!
DislikedPopular, so, more people. Facilities not so luxurious.
LikedWent here on a 3 night Vacation and the resort was extremely accommodating! Special thanks to Fair for handling everything from the airport to the hotel, they took care of me my wife and my infant and made us feel so welcome! 10 out of 10 would come again
DislikedWe stayed at the romantic beach pool villa for the final night It was great but we wished it would have been a bit cleaner on the inside
