Excellent property all around. Plenty of food options. I’d definitely recommend the all inclusive deal. Lots of activities for couples and families. Fantastic staff and customer service all around. The island in itself is gorgeous. It’s about 2 km long with a sand bar at low tide that connects it to a neighboring local island (although crossing over is not allowed). Very walkable and they offer club cars and bikes if you prefer not to walk. Diving center and water sports facilities on premises. Highly recommended.

Fantastic location and an amazing place. Staff were so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay. The only reason I dropped one star overall is that I felt the food and drinks were very overpriced considering the good but not excellent quality. We were stunned by the buffet cost considering we are not big eaters.

Lux South ari atoll exceeded my expectations in every way. We initially booked because we knew it was near an area where whale sharks are frequently encountered and we wanted an overwater villa with an infinity pool. We booked through hotels.com/Expedia where I have gold status- we received an upgraded villa (from romance to temptation villa) and 20% off of spa services. We also received several branded gifts from the hotel- a caftan, hat, fan, bracelet. The attention to detail was phenomenal- staff knew our itinerary (moving on to a dive liveaboard after the hotel, time and location we needed to be to meet the boat, etc). We were given a concierge at check in which allowed us to communicate via WhatsApp with her the length of the stay. The room: We arrived early (before check in) and our room wasn’t ready yet, so we were assigned a room that we could stay in while waiting for ours to be cleaned. This was on the main island and we thought it was nice overall- it had a very cute private outdoor shower and tub and the decor was nice. When we were brought to our new room, the temptation villa, it was completely unbelievable. There was a sitting area with a cut out in the floor where we could watch the fish swim under the villa. We had the all inclusive package - so the mini bar was included which consisted of various juices and sodas, a bottle of gin and vodka, a bottle of red and white wine, and snacks. The bathroom was MUCH upgraded from the other standard room.

An excellent all around resort to enjoy the sun and the beach in the Maldives. The island is big enough for privacy and seclusion yet intimate and walkable. The all inclusive option is well worth it and the food/drinks are great. I’d highly recommend this property if you’re considering a visit to the Maldives.

The property is AMAZING. Our room (the Water Villa) was the most beautiful room I have ever stayed in and I honestly could have stayed in the room the whole time and been happy. Every single restaurant is incredible and delicious. If you just want to eat and relax you'll be in heaven. However if you want activities- the resort also has those. In 5 days I still didn't have enough time to do all I wanted. A lot of the activities overlap which can make it a bit difficult to get to everything. But they are very worth it. The staff is friendly and kind. Special shout outs to Allan the chef, Mofezul the driver, and the marine biologists whose names I forgot. My one complaint is there was a fair bit of miscommunication. I had booked several activities prior to my trip and found that most werent done when I got there. Multiple times staff seemed to be confused on what restaurants were open. We actually gave up the 1st night and just got room service after being taken to 2 closed restaurant. Our honeymoon arrangements werent done though they did get to it later in the week. Because of some cancellations due to poor weather (not the resorts fault of course) I was not able to do manta ray snorkeling or see a manta ray which bummed me out. I must have talked to 3 separate staff members about this. Then as I was waiting for the seaplane to leave the resort, a staff member told me they come to the dock most nights and staff could text me to come see them! That would have been nice to know.

I am very pleased with the staff,they are friendly,helpful,greetings are superb. The island itself is spectacular. Food can be more varieties,but the easter feast and thai night was great. The only thing i could bring up about is the drinking water. We only get 2 bottles(2L)of water daily for three of us and it was boiling hot there every day. I would say a room should have at least 4 bottles of water each day( provided that all the outdoor walks/ cycling makes u dehydrated,activities and all the walks from wAter villa to reception/beach. I really dont understand water is so basic to a 5star hotel but its so hard to get. One morning i called room service to get me 2 bottles of water and i waited for an hour. No one came so i walk to the housekeeping kiosk myself and ask for water there from staff. Water is so very minimal basic in such hot place Also,one morning we hire kayak So i expect to have water at reception or watersports centre or even the lagoon bar, but they dont provide. Reception said they dont have, cafe Lux said they dont have, lagoon bar said they dont have and at last we begged the water sports centre for water. How bad it feels that i need to beg for water there as im with a kid. Everything was good except i think they need more water stations for guests. That tiny 5litre water dispenser at the beach/ reception with some fruit inside is always drank up/ empty. There should be more water stations on the island.

We stayed at LUX* South Ari Atoll for seven nights on the second/last leg our honeymoon, and it was absolutely wonderful. The property is vast, very well maintained and groomed. The staff was incredibly hospitable and kind, so professional and helpful. Our overwater villa was amazing, so big and designed intentionally with lots of great little details. The food was excellent, there were so many options (highly recommend all-inclusive, not much red tape at all). The spa experience was immaculate (we went a few times). There are so many fun activities and events around the island at all times. Sometimes this stuff is cheesy at certain resorts, but it wasn't here. We played beachside chess, pool, used the gym, played tennis, paddle-boarded, never got to the bocci or badminton courts - there is more than enough to do. The shuttles run up and down the island constantly so it's easy to get around, but we preferred the walking path - everything is stunning. Our favorite part was the staff, everyone was SO great. This trip has a special place in our hearts and we look forward to brining our family back one day. We cannot recommend this property enough, we would stay there again in a heartbeat.

My stay was the most spectacular, Food, Scenery, Cleanliness, Hospitality, and staff were well above and beyond. From the dock greeting with warm welcomes and best wishes, EVERY SINGLE PERSON on staff made me feel at home as well as VIP. I wish I could give an 8-star review but 5 is the limit. Great amenities or if you just want a lazy day it works out great as well, I think I found a new happy place.

My wife and I needed a well deserved holiday and Lux South Ari Atoll did not disappoint. From the time we arrived until the moment we left it felt like paradise. The weather was perfect even though we went off season. The staff was gracious, courteous and helpful. The food at each establishment was good; some better than others depending on your preference. Our villa was amazing. It was a birthday and wedding anniversary week and they completely were attentive to each occasion. I left with no regrets.
