Our stay at Lux* South Ari Atoll was wonderful. The island had so much to offer, lots of activities and it was just perfect. The staff were so welcoming, hospitality was great. Food was top class and as vegetarians we had lots of food options. A big thumbs up to Chef Subbunhi for talking to us and making sure everything was good, the food at MIXE and Senses were extremely good. We highly recommend this island to anybody traveling to Maldives.
Anna Berger
We stayed in an overwater villa, and it exceeded all expectations. The villa was stunning, beautifully designed, extremely comfortable, and offering breathtaking views. It was wonderfully calm and peaceful, the perfect place to relax and unwind. The service throughout our stay was truly 10/10. Housekeeping was impeccable, and the service in all restaurants and bars was flawless - professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly. You feel taken care of at every moment without it ever feeling intrusive. The food was absolutely to die for. Every restaurant delivered an outstanding experience, but Senses was the clear highlight for us, exceptional flavors, presentation and atmosphere at the beach. What made this stay truly special is that we got married here. The ceremony was beautiful and perfectly organized down to the smallest detail. I also had my hair done for the ceremony, and it turned out exactly as I had requested. We did a professional photoshoot as well, which resulted in a number of great photos. The hotel delivers excellence on every level - we cannot recommend it highly enough.

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!

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!

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.
