LUX* South Ari Atoll in the Maldives, set on the entire island of Dhidhoofinolhu, offers a sense of unspoiled island living. The spontaneous atmosphere presents everything from impromptu cinema screenings on the beach to classes with local artists. The eight restaurants and five bars feature an extensive menu of international and local cuisine. The ocean is ideal for snorkelling and whale shark spotting with more than 20 diving spots, while two pools and a spa offer a welcome break from the beach. The resort is located just 25 minutes from Malé by seaplane.
