Itinerary

Day 1 Beach Pavilion          
Start your holiday with a short seaplane flight from Malé and enjoy the stunning views from above, before arriving at LUX*  South Ari Atoll. With over two miles of white sand beaches, LUX*  South Ari Atoll is positioned on one of the largest islands in the Maldives so there is plenty to explore. Settle into your Beach Pavilion, a semi-detached building featuring a private terrace and partial open-air bathroom with an outdoor shower. Set on the beachfront you are just steps away from the crystalline waters of the Indian Ocean.            

Days 2-6 Beach Pavilion  
Spend your days relaxing on the beach, or enjoy the impressive range of excursions. Hire bikes and cycle down the jetty, or head to the nearby house reef, making use of the diving or snorkelling facilities in search of exotic marine life. Or why not board a traditional Dhoni boat with the resident marine biologist in search of whale sharks? This is the best area in the Maldives to spot these majestic creatures, and you may get the chance to swim with them too!    

Days 7-10 Water Villa    
Journey to the far west of the island to a Water Villa for your final few nights. Offering privacy and seclusion, it is the perfect sanctuary to unwind and wake to the soothing sound of the waves surrounding you each morning. Relax at the tranquil LUX*  Me Spa, which includes four stunning, overwater treatment rooms with a glass panel floor. There are five bars, and eight restaurants to enjoy that offer delicacies from around the globe.  

Day 11 Water Villa            
Take one last dip in the warm, shimmering waters, before boarding your seaplane back to Malé in time for your onward flight home.
