LUX* South Ari Atoll

Luxury meets doorstep diving.

From ‘pop-up’ ice cream carts to alfresco cinema, the LUX South Ari Atoll resort in the Maldives is all about impromptu luxury. Tailored to impress (there’s even a vintage red phone box offering free phone calls home), the pristine white sands hold special treat too; spot one of the bottles buried on the beach and enjoy the ‘on the house’ treat within, a candle-lit dinner for two by the water’s edge perhaps? With spectacular ocean views into the horizon, here is where diving meets unspoiled island living. Luxurious privacy is the by-word for these water villas
