Paradise

31 Jan 2026
We had an absolutely fantastic 8 nights at Lux! The resort itself is incredible and fantastic for kids too! Unfortunately our oldest boy (2 Yeas) fell ill while travelling and on arrival we were perfectly looked after and taken straight to see the doctor! The doctor took great care with Luca and after 3 days he was much better and fully enjoyed the holiday!! Special shout out to some people who made the holiday perfect! Giada, who always made sure we had everything we needed. Ahusan our housekeeper who was fantastic and worked around us and the kids with timing and kept the villa looking fantastic! Also Mofis who drove us around the island on the buggy with a smile and always playing games with the kids!! We hope to return one day in the not too distant future!

Luxury LUX

31 Jan 2026
We had the most wonderful stay at Lux South Ari Atoll Maldives. The island itself is absolutely stunning, the services are truly first-class, and we felt completely happy and taken care of during our entire vacation. We would especially like to express our heartfelt thanks to several members of your team who made our stay even more special with their kindness and exceptional attitude. A big thank you to Ahusan, who took care of our comfort in the villa — he was absolutely amazing, always thoughtful, attentive, and ready to help with a warm smile. At East Market restaurant, we will never forget the wonderful service: • Ms. Rimaah, who was incredibly kind, respectful, and always welcoming • Mr. Haikal, who made sure we had everything we needed at all times • Dasun, who prepared a lovely surprise for us and constantly charmed us with his positivity and beautiful smile We would also like to thank the entire team of chefs at East Market — they were fantastic, smiling, and always willing to prepare anything we wished for. Their attitude and passion truly elevated our dining experience. At Beach Rouge, our stay was made especially pleasant thanks to Mr. Huzam, who truly went above and beyond for us. We are also grateful to Mofis and his colleagues, who drove us around the island — they were always friendly, helpful, and in a great mood. Thank you all for making our holiday unforgettable. We truly appreciate everything you did for us, and we are certain this was not our last visit to your beautiful resort. With warm regards, Veronika Janková & Radim Pavlas Czech Republic 🇨🇿

Sublime over the water villa and exquisite food.

31 Jan 2026
Absolutely incredible 10 days at LUX*. Sublime over the water villa and exquisite food, particularly at East Market - an Asian themed restaurant where no booking is required. Chef Amzad always went out of his way and would bring freshly prepared meals to the table. Under the watchful eye of Rimmah in either Mixe or Easy Market, front of house was well managed. Lunch at the Lagoon Bar was by far the best amongst the lunch destinations, managed superbly by Shafeau and evening drinks were exceptional at Senses Bar. Our over the water villa was exceptional; Siraj provided daily messages and towel animals, every day he went out of his way to make the villa an outstanding home from home. A special thanks to our client services host, Mira, she was on hand 24/7 to make reservations and respond to any needs we had. Beach Rouge would benefit from a greater sense of urgency for evening drinks, although table service when dining is as good as all the restaurants. We didn’t feel the need to eat at Umami or Allegria based on the surcharges, which seems excessive given the duration of our stay. It’s a shame that the All Inclusive package is changing but I can empathise…. Tattinger champagne on endless supply is a true luxury!!

If ever there were a heaven on earth. This is it!

31 Jan 2026
This place is a dream come true. White sand beaches, perfect weather day and night, friendly accommodating staff, immaculately kept grounds, impeccably clean facilities and delectable food. We have had the opportunity to travel the world and stay at plenty of high end luxury accommodations While the rooms are not as luxurious as a Four Seasons or Mandarin Oriental, they are nice fit for the resort. We had the best time! Our stay wasn’t near perfect, it was perfect! My daughter and I want to give s shout out to our room steward Muaz. This dude is a legend!!! Thank you Lux and from the bottom of our hearts. thank you Muaz. We may return just to see you again! Rick and Ava Jo

Gorgeous resort

31 Jan 2026
Stunning resort! A beautiful island with lots to do and enjoy. We booked a beach pool villa and could not be happier. The villa is gorgeous and our housekeeper (Ahusan) was fabulous!! He kept our room spotless, was always friendly and smiling and went above for us when he could. The smell of the villa was heaven alone. The outdoor shower and tub were lovely. The pool was my favourite spot to lounge every day. Would highly recommend

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.
