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.

I was accompanied by 20 of my friends and family to celebrate my 50th Birthday from May 5th to May 9th 2022. From the moment I stepped onto the resort grounds I could tell this was going to be the trip of a lifetime and it was. I stayed in the Lux Villa and was assigned my personal Butler Ahmed who made sure that all my needs were met. I have run short of words to describe Ahmed. He took care of everyone in my group. Helped to plan all activities. Accompanied us on excursions, photographed us whenever we needed him to, prepared a beautiful sunset bath in the Lux Villa after my massage at Lux me Spa, Set up the Birthday dinner in the Villa, arranged for sandwiches and drinks for the Sandbank picnic at Lucy’s Island(wink), was always on time to pick us up from the room in his buggy. All I had to do was mention a wish and Ahmed found a way to make it come true. I enjoyed the parties at Beach rouge. Breakfast at Mixe was my favorite time of the day lol. The entire staff was very friendly and kind. I had tears when it was time to leave but Ahmed again arranged the band to perform Maldivian music as we walked to our seaplane. Lux South Ari Atoll thank you very much for this one in a lifetime experience. I plan to return in the near future with my family and Ahmed I thank you so much for the person that you are. Super cool guy and I can’t wait to see you again real soon…

Just back from an amazing holiday. From the accommodation, staff, amenities, everything was perfect. Food is an important part of our holidays, and I don’t think we will ever better the standard of food we had here, every meal was real quality and the taste and flavours amazing. All staff were amazingly polite and helpful, but a special mention to Sham our Housekeeper who was brilliant, and an extra special mention to Rita our guest arrival person. On unpacking we realised my partners Hair Straighteners hadn’t been packed, and in that heat, believe me she needs them!! Rita arranged for someone to buy some for us on the mainland and got them delivered to us the next day.

I had a beautiful experience at this resort. I enjoyed every day and especially the friendly staffs. Ahmed was particularly attentive and catered to everyone in a group of 20 women who were there to celebrate a birthday! Ahmed was so patient and was available anytime we needed him without any hesitation. He enhanced our experience by taking us to all the picturesque places, recommended what restaurants to try, and accompanied us to excursions! I will recommend staying at this resort and will definitely go back there again

From day 1 and all the way to the last day my experience at this resort was just amazing. 20 woman gathered together to celebrate at this resort and every single room and person was taken care of to the maximum. I can’t thank enough to everyone but one person who stood out to all of us was Ahmed the butler. Ahmed was up 24/7 and he made sure we had everything we needed. He took us to places where we can take pictures, he recommended places for us where to eat he even set up a beautiful bath in the room after the massage. I have never met someone so kind and helpful in my life. I will go back to Maldives and Lux resort with my family next year. Ahmed be ready for us. Thank you Lux family you really made us feel like home.
