Relax at the peaceful and sophisticated LUX South Ari Atoll in the Maldives. Set on a picturesque island, the resort has a mixture of stylish beach villas and iconic overwater bungalows, with direct access to jump into the crystal-clear lagoon. Enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, with laid-back luxury that the Maldives is famous for - perfect for romantic getaways or peaceful family holidays. LUX is famous for it's playful luxury, with messages in bottles around the island, a Wishing Tree to tie wishes with colourful ribbons and pop up film screenings under the stars.
