Ari Atoll, Maldives, Maldives · Virtuoso · 2026 benefits
The Maldives is one of those places that continue to pop up on travellers’ bucket lists. And for a very good reason. If you’ve fantasized about living a–lavish–Robinson Crusoe life on a faraway tropical island, you’re in the right place. At LUX* South Ari Atoll, you will ride your bicycle along the jetty, swim alongside whale sharks, hang out in your bungalow on stilts, dine at any of the eight restaurants, dance the night away, partake in marine conservation… Whatever it is you love, you’ll find it here at LUX* South Ari Atoll.
Live out your (ultra-luxe) Robinson Crusoe fantasy at the eco-friendly LUX South Ari Atoll. Start your day with a floating breakfast in your villa’s private pool, then grab a bike or solar-powered shuttle and explore the island, or snorkel with whale sharks and manta rays, play beach volleyball, or go wine tasting with the resident sommelier. The resort also features eight restaurants, five bars, tennis courts, a kids club, and activities ranging from cooking classes to sound healing sessions to keep your inner adventure-seeker satisfied.
