FACILITIES & SERVICES
Simplicity meets elegance at LUX* South Ari Atoll. Thatched roof beach bungalows and villas perched over the warm Maldivian waters create a stylish seaside haven. Chaises-longues on the sandy shores invite guests to unwind beneath the palms, while staircases descend straight into the Indian Ocean. Whitewashed walls, light and airy spaces with bursts of color, and tropical foliage make for the ultimate laidback lifestyle. We have ten different categories, so whether you’re flying solo or with a tribe of little travellers in tow, or whether you’re more the water villa type than the beach one, you will find your fit.
Restaurants & Bars
Yes, you’re in the Maldives. But that doesn’t mean we can’t take you to Italy, Japan, Southeast Asia or the shores of the Mediterranean for a night. Now hear this: we have eight restaurants and five bars. Eight is more than you can fit into a week. Your taste buds will never be bored. And neither will you. Mixe: MIXE is our main restaurant serving global cuisines. It caters to all palates thanks to its variety. Did we mention the floor is all sand? MIXE is set on a sandy beach under thatched roofs with slow-spinning fans for that salty breezy effect. The variety of cuisines and dishes will have your head spinning. Tuck your toes into the cool sand and your fork into your food for a delicious meal for breakfast and dinner. The chefs busying behind their stations dishing up wood-fire pizzas and stir-fries make for a buzzing atmosphere. At night, local performers add to the buzz. Senses: It’s all in the name, Senses. The food is flavourful, and the cocktails colourful. And yes, its location at the edge of the infinity pool by the sea is a treat for the senses. Fresh-from-the-sea fish and grilled seafood, Morroccan-inspired tagines, curries inspired by the Indian Ocean, tropical fish-coloured cocktails, ice cold beers… The bar will ensure you stay hydrated. Hungry? Take a seat poolside for lunch or under a starry sky at dinnertime. Allegria: Allegria takes you from the Maldives to the Mediterranean. As for the open kitchen, it lets you take a peek at the chefs busying behind the stoves. East Market – South-East Asian Restaurant & Bar: An overwater bar. South-east Asian cuisine bursting with flavour. Fiery hot, fried, frizzled, steamed. EAST Market, much like the night markets of Asia, has it all. Lagoon Bar: Right by the beach, with a front-row view of the sunrise, this sociable enclave is situated near our reception, right by the water sports centre. Umami: An ode to Japan, and its incredible variety of cooking methods, flavours and textures. Cafe Lux*: Excellent coffee is a must, not a luxury; that’s why you’ll find a Café LUX* at the heart of LUX* South Ari Atoll. Veli Bar: Enjoy a refreshing drink as you soak up those incredible watery views. Beach Rouge – Beach Club & Restaurant: You’ve heard the album, now enjoy the ambience as you eat, drink and make merry.
