We stayed at LUX* South Ari Atoll for seven nights on the second/last leg our honeymoon, and it was absolutely wonderful. The property is vast, very well maintained and groomed. The staff was incredibly hospitable and kind, so professional and helpful. Our overwater villa was amazing, so big and designed intentionally with lots of great little details. The food was excellent, there were so many options (highly recommend all-inclusive, not much red tape at all). The spa experience was immaculate (we went a few times). There are so many fun activities and events around the island at all times. Sometimes this stuff is cheesy at certain resorts, but it wasn't here. We played beachside chess, pool, used the gym, played tennis, paddle-boarded, never got to the bocci or badminton courts - there is more than enough to do. The shuttles run up and down the island constantly so it's easy to get around, but we preferred the walking path - everything is stunning.
Our favorite part was the staff, everyone was SO great. This trip has a special place in our hearts and we look forward to brining our family back one day. We cannot recommend this property enough, we would stay there again in a heartbeat.
