Maldives

LUX* Island Resorts is a collection of premium hotels in the Indian Ocean where guests can celebrate island life and enjoy light living. Inspired by the nature, culture, flavours and wares of island life, they present a true taste of the Maldives .

With the entire island of Dhidhoofinolhu in South Ari Atoll to itself, LUX* Maldives (formerly DIVA) offers a sense of unspoiled island living. The spontaneous atmosphere presents everything from impromptu cinema screenings on the beach to classes with local artists. Our seven restaurants and six bars feature an extensive menu of international and local cuisine. The ocean is ideal for snorkelling and whale shark spotting, while two pools and a spa offer a welcome break from the beach. LUX* Maldives never fails to delight – both above the waterline and below.

Each of our 193 villas offer sweeping views over the beach and lagoon, whether suspended on stilts over the water or scattered along the beach.

LUX* Me Spa & Fitness
From luxurious facials, massages and scrubs to invigorating yoga classes and an array of dynamic exercise programmes, LUX* Me spa and fitness creates personalised experiences tailor-made to keep guests in tune with the idyllic island surrounds.

Sports & Leisure
It’s no secret that the Maldives is one of the most sought-after diving destinations in the world. And while there is certainly plenty to see underwater, there’s also a lot going on back on dry land.

Water-Based Activities
Complimentary reef snorkelling, kayaking and pedal boats are available at the resort. There’s also a wide range of water sports available at the boathouse, including windsurfing, rubber ring and banana rides, water-skiing, wakeboarding and jet-skiing for a fee.

Land-Based Activities
Beach table tennis, volleyball, billiards, table soccer and tennis on floodlit courts are available at the resort, while bicycle rides, catamaran trips and picnics to neighbouring islets can also be arranged. Musik is our island nightclub, where a mix of rock, salsa and techno is played by our in-house DJ until the early hours.

PLAY and Studio 17
At LUX*, we’ve made sure there’s always something for the whole family to enjoy with our complimentary kids and teen clubs.

PLAY offers children between the ages of 3 and 12 years an opportunity to explore the many wonders of island living. Supervised by trained team members, kids are exposed to the nature and culture of the island, as well as a range of sports and outdoor activities.

Studio 17 is where guests between 12 and 17 years can make the most of their island holiday with many activities, including local dance and language classes, beach sports activities and adventure trips around the island.

Both PLAY and Studio 17 are open every day from 9am to 10pm, with meal options available.
