If you’re planning a vacation with your little one, LUX South Ari Atoll is the perfect place to stay! What makes this resort truly special is how thoughtfully they cater to little guests, making travelling with a toddler feel effortless. From sterilisation equipment to bathing essentials and potty-training equipment, they’ve got all the little things covered. We recently travelled with our 18-month-old and had a seamless experience. Milk was available on demand, and Chefs Senthil and Subbuni, along with the rest of the restaurant team, were incredibly warm and accommodating. They even packed sandwiches for our son for our flight back! Beyond the incredible hospitality, the resort has stunning views, beautiful reefs for snorkelling, and lovely excursions like dolphin spotting and sunset cruises. Our villa was incredibly spacious, too — making it feel like a little home away from home. We’d 10/10 visit again!

Went here for our wedding anniversary. After a 30 min sea plane journey post flight, you reach Lux. It's a lovely resort with lots of activities and 8 restaurants and bars to try out. The staff made the place even more special going above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The beaches were stunning, was happy to see it wasn't an unnatural blue unlike some of the other islands. The food at senses was exceptional. We had to skip the teppenyaki session at umami but the sushi truly felt delicious and very fresh. Seafood is the way to go in Lux. The room service was the highlight. The staff were very kind, and our arrangements at both our rooms felt special. Loved the ice creams at ici. Coffee is good at the cafe, not the capsules in the room. All their activities need prior booking and are subject to the weather. I would skip the whale shark snorkeling just because it felt borderline unethical. The bad, the meats, especially chicken was definitely not fresh. Beach Rouge true to its reviews was not great during dinner. We had lunch there which was much better. The Italian restaurant for all its premium exclusivity was okay. I was a little shocked in the difference in treatment between honeymoon and 1st wedding anniversary. We were in Lux Mauritius for our honeymoon and truly felt special there. 11 months later at another Lux and we were ignored during our anniversary as well. That was surprising. I didn't want (O or expect) an entire week of activities like the other lux, but some freebie for our anniversary would have surely made it memorable. We left feeling something was missing. They have a lot of celebration package that you need to book, which is probably why we didn't get any extra attention I assume (except for the happy wedding anniversary in our room). Tried to find that tressure hunt bottle for 6 days with no luck, I would just skip the activity unless you find it with no effort. We spotted turtles at the scuba dive from the island euro diver center and I was gifted a turtle by our hotel manager when he knew I was looking for a momento when we left. He also ensured that we had dinner when we had to skip a meal when I got sick one night. All that extra care was truly the best we have felt in terms of hospitality.

We spent a couple of days at the end of our holiday here. It’s a very nice resort and I would like to make mention of Riamaah in the restaurant, Bek who greeted us and Naan in the spa (the spa gets top marks from me). All 3 were fantastic and should be recognized. The food is very good and there are several restaurants. The house reef however is not great compared to other resorts we have been to and I would suggest the beach villas instead of the overwater ones. The interiors of the overwater are nice but the exteriors are not luxury quality. As well the resort is huge so be prepared to factor in time to get buggies to get to restaurant and facilities

All in all we had a great stay. The buggy drivers were excellent. Jaishan, Shawkat, Mofizul, Ahmed and so many more. They added so much life and vibrancy to the experience with their pure joy and happiness and conversing with everyone. Rima from Mixe was a joy! She’s so lovely and also arranged for staff to sing happy birthday for my son. She was so attentive to all guests. Neesham the duty manager was exceptional. He was so professional, handled any of my concerns calmly and made sure we had the best stay. He was so great to deal with. The concierge were also helpful in responding to requests. One of my suggestions is to have a daily WhatsApp broadcast (guests can opt in) that contains the key highlights for that day. So ppl don’t forget. Like the daily reef snorkeling or the cinema night if u don’t get a reminder u will forget The water villa was fabulous! Ahmed from housekeeping was SOOO nice and so sweet and so helpful. He looked after us. Lubaana from Alegria was amazing, really accommodating and helped us make our son’s birthday special and the band were so lovely singing for him and allowing him to sing for a few seconds as well! The staff at Senses and Veli were great! Quick service and generally very attentive. Senses was just special! For our day lounging and sunbathing. The library is soooo cute! Lovely space The Maldivian band at Mixe on our first night were incredible!!! I loved loved loved them and their music and the dancing ❤️

We went to Lux* for our honeymoon and what a treat that was! The hotel and island are absolutely stunning and very well maintained. The staff! The nicest people I have ever encountered in a hotel, they made our stay extra special. Big shout out to Gabrielle & Ahmed who looked after us everyday. The manager and his wife also made this trip one of a kind with various thoughtful gestures. The hotel was near to fully booked but we did not feel the crowds at all - be it at the different beaches or restaurants. There are a lot of activities to do and, while I was scared of getting a bit bored spending 10 days there, the time flew by! We also went scuba diving for the first time and that was just wonderful! The marine life but also the service we received was outstanding. We met a lot of people who have come back to this place several times and we absolutely understand why! For our next trip to the Maldives, we will definitely come back!
