Отель расположен на острове Дидофинолу – одном из самых протяженных островов атолла Южный Ари, в 104 км от международного аэропорта Велана, 25 минут на гидросамолете или 20 минут самолетом внутренних авиалиний до аэропорта Маамигили + 10 минут на лодке.
Уникальный природный оазис с широкой лазурной лагуной, белопесчаным пляжем и пышной тропической растительностью. Элегантный, стильный и роскошный остров. Прекрасное место как для уединенного созерцательного отдыха или романтического свадебного путешествия, так и для отдыха с детьми. Великолепные рестораны и замечательный спа-центр не оставят равнодушными даже самых требовательных гостей.
Питание очень разнообразное и качественное, на территории 5 ресторанов (кухня стран Индийского океана, международная, итальянская, японская, азиатская кухня).
В отеле предлагают уникальный кофе из трех видов зерен, который обжаривается на острове.
Кроме всех широкого спектра водных видов развлечений на острове функционирует ночной клуб, который может испльзоваться как конференц – зал по надобности.
Из приятных комплиментов отеля необходимо отметить красные лондонские телефонные будки, откуда можно совершать звонки в разные страны бесплатно.
Каждое утро сотрудники прячут «Message in a Bottle» по всей территории, каждый нашедший такую бутылку получает в подарок бесплатные услуги спа, экскурсию, ароматный кофе, либо бутылку вина.
Есть дерево желаний, куда вешаются ленточки с желаниями гостей, затем на новогодней вечеринке по ним разыгрываются 2 бесплатные ночи в отеле.
Один из тех отелей где нужно приложить очень много усилий чтобы найти какой-то недостаток. Рекомендовано!
The hotel is located on the Didofinolu island – one of the longest islands of the South Ari atoll, 104 km from the international airport of Velan, 25 minutes by seaplane or 20 minutes by domestic airline to Maamigili airport + 10 minutes by boat.
A unique natural oasis with a wide azure lagoon, white sandy beach and lush tropical vegetation. Elegant, stylish and luxurious island. A great place for a secluded contemplative holiday or a romantic honeymoon, as well as for families with children. Magnificent restaurants and a wonderful spa will not leave indifferent even the most demanding guests.
The food is very diverse and of high quality, there are 5 restaurants on the territory (kitchen of the Indian Ocean countries, international, Italian, Japanese, Asian cuisine).
The hotel offers a unique coffee of three types of grains, which is fried on the island.
In addition to all the wide range of water kinds of entertainment, there is a nightclub on the island, which can be used as a conference hall when needed.
From the pleasant compliments of the hotel there are the red London telephone booths, from where guests can make calls to different countries free of charge.
Every morning, employees hide “the Message in a Bottle” through the territory, everyone who finds this bottle receives free spa services, an excursion, aromatic coffee, or a bottle of wine.
There is a tree of desires, where ribbons are hung with the desires of the guests, then at the New Year’s party they play 2 free nights in the hotel.
This is one of those hotels where it is very difficult to find some disadvantages. Highly recommended!

LUX Resort is one of the biggest island – resorts in Maldives. Very green and flowery. We enjoyed our family hollidays there and definitely will come back again.
Foodwise, you could easily spend 10 days trying new type of cuisine daily. We have enjoyed the local dinner experience in traditional Maldives style. Mediterranean and italien restoraunts were over the top!
LUX SPA offers treatments for adults and kids as well. We had our perfect daughter – mother time in it. )
Swimming is great from the lagoon beach and snorkeling is cool at the house reef.
Evening time you could enjoy DJ sets at Beach Rouge. We never got bored and time just flied!)
