Stay in luxury at the eco-friendly LUX* South Ari Atoll Resort in the Maldives!

Overview

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 at LUX* South Ari Atoll.

LUX* South Ari Atoll has been awarded the Travel Life Gold Award and has the Green Globe certification and highlights the island's continued dedication to their sustainable development strategy.

The resort is equipped with an onsite Marine Biology Centre to study and protect the native whale shark population and educates guests on eco tours and supports on-going scientific research. The marine centre staff are integral to removing ghost nets from the sea, which are deadly to many aquatic creatures and also responsible for regenerating coral to help support marine life.

LUX* South Ari Atoll is constantly striving to achieve a positive environmental impact on the Maldivian island of Dhidhoofinolhu. Their dedication to a greener future can be seen in the undertaking of various new initiatives that aim to work in harmony with the resort’s natural surroundings. One such project is the Energy Saving Solar to convert sun energy into electricity. This, combined with the Solar Sea innovation of photovoltaic panels floating in the lagoon will further increase the resort’s energy capacity.

Additionally, LUX* South Ari Atoll is creating Fish Houses using recycled bathtubs which have been designed for a variety fish species to inhabit.
