South Ari Atoll accommodation from NZ$156

Truly the best Maldives experience is at Lux* South Ari. The island itself is gorgeous, facilities are excellent, the dive center is world class and to top it all off the staff were amazing. You won’t go wrong choosing this resort!

From arriving at Male airport to check-in at Resort was just effortless as everything are planned and executed perfectly without having to look after our own baggage. All staff at Radisson Blu were very friendly, helpful & attentive to our needs. They tried to make your stay as comfortable like home as possible. Special mention to Elaiza, Matty, Pandeep (and many others) & the Chefs who cater to our meal requirements whenever possible; and also listening to our feedback. I must especially thank Mr. Ahmed Nashid (Director of F&B) for arranging a Special Romantic Dinner for me & my wife by the beachfront. The Ocean Villa with infinity pool which we stayed were perfect and very private. Water, tea & coffee, toiletries were replenished and housekeeping were done daily too. The only downside of this trip is the waiting time for the seaplane to the resort (we waited around 3hrs). Hopefully this can be improved. Overall it was an enjoyable trip and experience which we highly recommend to those planning to visit Maldives.

The staff and service were incredibly friendly!
