On the picture-perfect island of Dhidhoofinolhu, in the heart of a magnificent sheltered lagoon, stands the enchanting LUX* South Ari Atoll, a hotel that has won countless awards as one of the world's most outstanding island beach resorts. Ideal for families, with calm shallow waters and coral reefs, it combines the tropical outdoor lifestyle, amid stunning natural beauty, with the most refined elegance and luxury. The resort certainly fulfils the dream of an idyllic island escape, yet with enough surprises to make it truly unique.
The atmosphere of the unexpected is indeed what gives this place its special character, with surroundings full of secrets and surprises, including impromptu cinema screenings and music performances on the beach. You could come upon a red phone box where you can phone home, a message in a bottle hidden anywhere, promising the finder a free pizza suddenly popping up in a palm-fringed cove. Children love finding an unexpected ice cream cart, coconut stand, or hidden stash of goodies.
