The buffet is absolutely amazing with lots of details and different stations where you’ll get daily changing culinary highlights from different cuisines around the world. These have been my favorite restaurant we got to try during our stay: MIXE RestaurantĪs the name already implies, the MIXE is the mixed international buffet restaurant of the LUX* which is especially famous for breakfast but also loved by visitors who like to have a big selection of dishes for dinner. Something really outstanding for the Maldives is that all LUX* resorts around the world have their a LUX* coffee shop with their own LUX* coffee which gets roasted right on the island! Even for breakfast you can choose between two different restaurants! The amount of culinary choices you have during your stay at the LUX* South Ari is enormous! You can basically eat at another restaurant every day and decide for buffet or à la carte options. But anyways: Swimming next to them is an incredible experience. The whale sharks can get up to 17 meters if they’re fully grown! In the Maldives you usually see the “teenager” whale sharks which “only” have a size of around 5-7 m. That’s why I would highly recommend you to book a whale shark tour during your stay! The best thing is that there is no specific season to see them – the whale sharks can be found at the South Ari Atoll throughout the whole year. The LUX* is famous for being one of the few resort in the South Ari Atoll which are located close to the whale shark snorkeling spot in the Maldives. Anyways you should keep your eyes open for little baby reef sharks and rays in the shallow waters around the water villas! But unfortunately it is not possible to just jump from your water villa in the lagoon for a spontaneous snorkeling session. To make up for that they offer daily FREE snorkeling tours to the nearby house reef by boat which is just a few minutes away. The only minus point the LUX* South Ari has in my opinion, is that the island has no reef which is directly connected to the resort. At the water sports center you can rent stand up paddle boards and kayaks for free to cruise in the lagoon – or rent a jet ski to go a little faster! □ The bathroom is a real gem and makes the villa super luxurious: It is bright and airy with a big ocean view shower plus a free standing bathtub which stands right at the glass facade to enjoy the lagoon views while taking a bath.Ī vacation in the Maldives wouldn’t be completed without enjoying some time in and on the endless blue waters. A highlight is the glass bottom window from which you can watch the blue water and fish right from your bed or sofa □ The villas are divided in two rooms: The bedroom and the incredibly huge and light bathroom! In the bedroom you’ll find a relaxing sofa next to the bed which can be transformed in a sleeping place for a third person in case you’re traveling with your child for example. At the LUX* South Ari the water villas clearly have been my favorite choice! In some hotels I prefer the Beach Villas and in others I’ll like the ones over water more. For me this decision varies from resort to resort. Our favorite category has been the one we stayed in ourselves: Water Villaįor many travelers it’s obligatory to stay in an overwater villa during their Maldives vacation. No matter if you’re traveling as a couple or family, the LUX* South Ari Atoll has a great variation of pavilions and villas according to your personal preferences. Which is of course not bad at all if you either have a private terrace or beach attached to your villa □ The results usually arrive at same day in the evening or the next morning and until that vaccinated people can already roam around the island while unvaccinated guests have to stay in their villa until the negative result arrives. The test will be done right at the airport and will be covered by the LUX* South Ari. It is just a short 20 minutes seaplane flight away from Male.Īfter we arrived at the Velana international airport we got welcomed by the LUX* staff which took care about our seaplane check in and escorted us to the private LUX* Lounge which is located just opposite from the sea plane boarding area.ĭuring the time of our visit in December 2021 all guests had to do an additional PCR test after arriving in the Maldives. The LUX* South Ari Atoll Resort & Villas LOCATION & TRANSFERĪs the name already implies the LUX* South Ari is located in the South Ari Atoll of the Maldives.
