"Lux* South Ari is a great choice for a vacation in the Maldives. The island is beautiful, great facilities, excellent service. I’d definitely recommend the all inclusive option (def worth the money and offers many options). They offer many activities and the spa is fantastic. The Lux Cafe is also a great touch. I’ve tried both the beach villas and the over water villas and you def can’t go wrong with either. "
Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa Maldives, The Centara Collection
10/10 Excellent
"Our holiday was nothing short of amazing! The rooms were comfortable, with AC and a mini fridge replenished daily. Housekeeping was impeccable, and stepping outside led directly to the beach. Safety was a priority, with life jackets for the whole family.
Snorkelling, paddleboarding, and kayaking were available at the Best Dive kiosk, with helpful and knowledgeable staff. We took a sunset boat tour and saw hundreds of dolphins—truly unforgettable! Joe and Alex made scuba diving an excellent experience, guiding my husband step by step.
Beyond the sea and infinity pool, there was plenty to do: a well-equipped gym, tennis court, and a games room with pool, darts, ping pong, PlayStation, and air hockey. The spa was the perfect place to unwind—Pin’s full-body massage was bliss! The island shop stocked essentials like sunglasses and sunscreen.
To keep mosquitoes at bay, the island was sprayed daily, though bringing insect repellent is wise. Dining was spectacular, with three restaurants: The Reef (buffet), Mare Azzurro (Italian, booking needed), and Suan Buan (Thai, booking needed). The staff were outstanding—Kal ensured my son got his burger, and May, June, Vivek, Sunny, and Habib provided top-notch service.
Refreshing drinks by the pool added to the experience—Siva and Ajith made dreamy caipirinhas and perfect milkshakes! The kids' club was a hit, with creative and sporty activities led by Yummi and Naba. Our time here was unforgettable, and we can't wait to return!"
"L'isola è situata su un pass oceanico verso l'atollo, questo facilita l'avvistamento di pesci anche di grossa dimensione, abbiamo visto più volte il passaggio di delfini. Abbiamo avvistato squali, acquilw di mare tartarughe pratucamente ad ogni uscita di snorkeling, davvero bellissimo.
L'isola è molto rigogliosa e le camere sono sul mare ma immerse nel verde. Non è una struttura "di lusso" ed è proprio quello cbe volevamo, le camere sono semplici ma molto funzionali, pulite e con tutto il necessario tra cui un letto in cui si dorme serenamente in tre. Il cibo è ottimo, se amate i sapori orientali come me siete nel posto giusto. Siamo alle Maldive e per quanto mi riguarda si deve mangiare tipico e non italiano quindi per me è stato perfetto ma se cercate cibo italiano non è il posto per voi. Nessuna animazione, la sera potete scegliere tra ascoltare il rumore del mare dal vostro patio, prendere qualcosa da bere al bar o entrambe le cose. Per me l'ideale, le Maldive sono relax, se volessi ballare andrei ai Caraibi!
In sintesi isola consigliatissima.
Ps. Tutti consigliano le camere f
Da 40 a 90, io vado controcorrente consigliandovi da 90 a 112 (io avevo la 112) perche davanti a queste c'è un'ottima spiaggia con possibilta anche di fare il bagno con una buona porzione di sabbia nelle altre zone il corallo è molto più vicino. Inoltre sono vicine all'uscita 7 di gran lunga la migliore per lo snorkeling! La mattina aquile di mare e al tramonto tartarughe assicurate."
"Hands down the best customer service I’ve ever experienced! Every single staff member was incredibly friendly, professional, and welcoming — I truly felt like part of the resort family. What impressed me most is their commitment: if anything isn’t up to your expectations, just mention it and they’ll fix it immediately and go above and beyond to make it even better. An unforgettable, unmatched experience from start to finish!
