Ultimately, for a dash of glamour, the Easter Cocktail Reception & Fashion Show closes the evening with elegance, pairing tropical style with oceanfront sophistication.
Adventure in Every Direction
Beyond the Easter festivities, LUX* South Ari Atoll invites guests to immerse themselves in a world of natural wonder and thrilling exploration.
