The Lux Collective, a global leader in hospitality, has unveiled the newly refurbished Water Villas at LUX* South Ari Atoll, its award-winning Maldivian resort. These villas now offer a luxurious and peaceful retreat. The modern design connects seamlessly with the natural beauty of the surrounding ocean.
John Rogers, the General Manager of LUX* South Ari Atoll, shared,
“The goal was to craft an environment that feels truly connected to the island’s landscape. Guests will indulge in a thoughtfully designed new setting, which exudes a sense of calm that complements the natural beauty and ocean, just beyond their villa doors”
The new design draws inspiration from the resort’s breathtaking environment. The Water Villas now feature a soft color palette. This palette mirrors the peaceful hues of the sea and the warm tones of the sandy beaches. Designers combined light blues, neutral tones, and soft nudes with natural wood accents. The result is a welcoming space that feels relaxing. Furthermore, the use of tactile materials and stylish furnishings helps foster a sense of calm.
The refurbishment includes ombre curtains in shades of white and blue that reflect the ocean’s colors. Designers also added woven textures to the bed headers and chairs. These patterns echo traditional craftsmanship and add subtle detail. In addition, indoor plants bring a touch of greenery inside the villas. This enhances the connection between the indoors and the lush environment outside.
The bathrooms in the Water Villas stand out. They feature bathtubs that offer sweeping views of the lagoon. Guests can unwind while enjoying the panoramic scenery. Meanwhile, the outdoor terrace provides a perfect space for relaxation. Guests can lounge on the overwater net, relax on the sofa, or unwind on the daybed while enjoying a meal. Moreover, the villas offer direct access to the lagoon via a private stairway. Guests are invited to snorkel and explore the vibrant marine life just steps away.
Every design element, from the textures to the custom furniture, enhances the guest experience. The minimalist interiors are visually striking. They also offer luxurious comfort, blending simplicity with elegance. As a result, the Water Villas provide an atmosphere that is both refined and tranquil.
LUX* South Ari Atoll has recently secured its second consecutive Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Rating. It also won the ‘Best for Families’ award at the Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence. With these accolades, the resort continues to offer an unrivaled Maldivian experience. In line with this, its commitment to sustainability and exceptional service promises extraordinary moments for every guest.
