We stayed at the Lux* for our honeymoon and it did not disappoint!! Everything from the food to the staff and activities were perfect. The island is a literal paradise and our pool villa was spacious with stunning sunrise views. We did not want to leave and will defo be returning! In the 4 nights we stayed, we managed to try all the different restaurants - amazing lunches at Veli Pool Bar, dining under the stars at Senses and the teppanyaki experience with Allan at Umami were all highlights. All inclusive was absolutely worth it with signature cocktails, champagne by the glass, nearly all food options and decent bottles of wine all included. Sunset at Beach Rouge was also great vibes before dinner. If you’re after a very serene experience, then this maybe hang the one for you, but if you want a mix of energy, entertainment and relaxation it’s perfect. All the staff made us extremely welcome from the moment we stepped foot off the plane, warm greetings at every meal, fast service and friendly housekeeping who did the room twice a day. The whale shark excursion was also a once in a lifetime experience. The guides were professional and caring, and we travelled a long way to a recent sighting and got to snorkel with 2 whale sharks - the 2nd one we were able to swim alongside for a good few minutes which was a magical experience. If you’re thinking about booking Lux - do it!

We have visited LUX* South Ari Atoll eight times now, which is itself a testament to the esteem in which we hold it. The island location is beautiful - tranquil, with pristine white sand beaches and turquoise waters. Rooms are comfortable and spacious, but also offer seclusion; we always opt for beach villas, where being able to walk off the rear veranda and straight into the sea in under twenty seconds is sublime. LUX* has a large range of restaurants and bars; the food, cocktails, wine and other drinks are all outstanding. Across the board, the service is attentive, thorough and friendly. Special shout-outs to: - Sangeeth: has gone out of his way to look after us exceptionally well on every visit. - Chef Subbunhi: always warm and welcoming, has made us bespoke, off-menu meals of some of the finest Indian food we have had. - Ahusan: provided excellent housekeeping, making lots of effort to ensure occasions such as birthdays were extra special. - Rachael: great job managing our bookings/activities and keeping us up-to-date. - Shifaz and Dharminder: we have known both for many years; they are always extremely welcoming and helpful. - Chef Pong: very friendly and warm and makes delicious off-menu Thai food for us. There are many more names we could list; for now, we'll highlight the excellent service from Roshika, Jobair, Vijay, Huzam, Khan, Jino, Masud, Pintu and Chef Senthil. We cannot wait to return.

We had a wonderful stay with family at Lux for 4 days! The rooms were comfortable, the resort was beautiful and the food was delicious! But most importantly, the staff and the hospitality was unparalleled. Want to give a huge shout out to Pradeep, Mano and Vijay who went above and beyond to understand our needs, recommend places and food options, and ensuring we were well taken care of throughout our stay. Additionally, Rashwaan ensured our rooms were serviced routinely and well, leaving a crafty surprise for my kids that brought a smile to their faces every time we entered the room. We look forward to coming back again.

First time at Lux and we had an amazing experience, service was truly exceptional from the guest experiences team, cleaning, and everyone at the restaurants. Everyone was friendly and seemed very happy to work here which contributed so much to the welcoming atmosphere of the island. Shoutout to Mulham, Anfal, Pong. Shafeeu and many many others that went above and beyond. We felt very taken care of from the moment we touched down in Male from luggages, transfers, daily itinerary, so on. Food was exceptional and service was amazing. All the restaurants had ahthentic food, especially the chinese, south asian, and thai cuisines. Drinks were amazing as well. We were here for a week and had a comfortable variety. Shoutout to senses and the south asian live station at breakfast. Whole Island is spotless, clean, and always smells amazing. Waters are clear and we saw many sharks and sting rays by the shore. There are too many positive points throughout the whole experience to mention it all, but in general, could not recommend it enough!! Team was very attentive and welcoming we felt carefree throughout our stay. :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Worth Selling a Kidney For… Almost!” My wife has already volunteered to sell one of my kidneys so we can come back for her next big birthday — that probably tells you everything you need to know about how much we loved LUX South Ari Atoll*! From start to finish, the experience was incredible. A special shoutout to Rafith, who came to the rescue when we faced what looked like an 8-hour wait at Malé airport on our return. Even though the situation wasn’t really the resort’s fault, he managed to arrange a later checkout and gave us a discount to use the lovely LUX Lounge* (which you also enjoy on arrival). That level of care really stood out. As for the resort itself — well, it’s easy to see why people rave about this place. The service is genuinely fantastic, and it’s one of the few destinations where your photos actually look like the postcards. We swam with turtles, manta rays, whale sharks, and reef sharks — simply unforgettable. The food was fabulous, the beaches pristine, and the water that unreal shade of turquoise you always dream about. In short: great trip, great service, and a truly stunning location. We’ll be back (once I’ve recovered from the kidney negotiations)
