Lux Trip

31 Jan 2025
Wonderful place with great food and a beautiful island. The staff did a great job despite the busy season, though service was at times slightly stretched. That said, we still had a great experience. A special thanks to Ali Jabir for his exceptional support—arrival and departure can often be the most stressful parts of such trips, and he made the process much smoother for us. Much appreciated!

Nice environment

28 Feb 2025
The service was excellent. Everyone was very welcoming. Good hospitality attitude and nice atmosphere around the hotel. Good variety of the restaurant and different choices of the cuisine. Good place for having photos. Just the size of the room was a little bit small.

Would we go again? Yes please!

31 Jan 2025
We enjoyed 14 blissful nights in a Romantic Pool Water Villa, and we didn’t want to leave! It’s a long journey from Ireland but it was definitely worth it - amazing food, caring and professional staff, impeccable beaches and sunshine. We particularly enjoyed watching the sun set at Beach Rouge and were fascinated by the baby sharks and abundance of tropical fish which entertained us each evening.

Superb visit, fantastic food, drinks and service.

31 Jan 2025
Just returned from a fantastic ‘first time’ visit to Lux for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We had a fantastic time and we loved it so much we really want to plan a return trip in 2026! We had a Water Villa, which was fab, really spacious and had everything we needed. The sun rises were great from the deck of the villa and I snorkelled a few times from the villa - often seen different Rays, sand sharks, lots of different types of fish and a turtle even swam past one evening and lifted his lead to say ‘hi’ ….. We were All Inclusive and our mini bar was stocked daily and I substituted the wine for Rose wine and this was replaced whenever I asked. The food was outstanding, our favourite was Beach Rouge for evening meals served by Pulkit and Masud and also East Market - the gala buffet for the Chinese new year was superb along with the Ice cream, served by Masud. The buggies for moving people around the island is a great idea and we used them daily - the chat with the drivers was really fun. Happy to answer any questions if anyone has any.

Tripadvisor Overview

Dreamy atolls of tropical islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are a kaleidoscope of colours and earthly pleasures. Get away from it all at LUX South Ari Atoll (formerly LUX Maldives), the only settlement on the postcard-perfect island of Dhidhoofinolhu. Fuss free and laid-back, the resort surprises with pop-up cinema screenings right on the beach, impromptu musical performances and strolls along secret pathways through the lush tropical gardens. Just steps from the thatch-roofed suites and ocean-perched villas, the island's unspoilt beaches are yours to claim. A prime spot for snorkelling and whale-shark spotting, the resort's unblemished lagoon is a diver's dreamworld. Back on land, island street food and fine dining await in the tempting restaurants and bars. In the shade of coconut palms, lounge by the two turquoise pools, luxuriate in the ocean-view spa and surrender to the charms of this castaway idyll.
