LUX South Ari Atoll

MIXE is our main restaurant serving global cuisines. It caters to all palates thanks to its variety. Set on a sandy beach under thatched roofs with slow-spinning fans for that salty breezy effect, the variety of cuisines and dishes will have your head spinning. Tuck your toes into the cool sand and your fork into your food for a delicious meal for breakfast and dinner. The chefs busying behind their stations dishing up wood-fire pizzas and stir-fries make for a buzzing atmosphere. At night, local performers add to the buzz.

Allegria takes you from the Maldives to the Mediterranean. As for the open kitchen, it lets you take a peek at the chefs busying behind the stoves. Italian cuisine truly is the ultimate comfort food. Dinner is served on our gorgeous deck, and right on the beach. And if you’d like an intimate, private dinner table, we’ll arrange that. Maybe it’s the quality of the ingredients or the skills of our chefs, but Allegria really hits a sweet spot.

South-East Asia’s night markets are bustling. The scents, sounds, and sights overwhelm the senses in the best possible way. EAST Market gathers in one place the many culinary influences of Asia. Wander through the market-style restaurant where cooks dish up vibrant dishes at breakfast and dinner time and dig into one of the world’s favourite cuisines. The food is bursting with flavour, featuring fiery hot, fried, frizzled, and steamed options.

It’s all in the name, Senses. The food is flavourful, and the cocktails colourful. And yes, its location at the edge of the infinity pool by the sea is a treat for the senses. Fresh-from-the-sea fish and grilled seafood, Morroccan-inspired tagines, curries inspired by the Indian Ocean, tropical fish coloured cocktails, ice cold beers… The bar will ensure you stay hydrated. Hungry? Take a seat poolside for lunch or under a starry sky at dinnertime.

Café LUX* has revolutionised the world of hotel coffee, and our commitment remains clear: to offer our guests the finest barista-made coffee, day and night. Great coffee begins with freshly ground beans, so we roast our own in our on-site roasting rooms, which can be explored on our aromatic behind-the-scenes tour. Our baristas keep up with all the latest trends and techniques.

Ice cream parlour offering creative frozen treats and indulgent dessert options.

GLOW Bar is a creative cocktail bar with breathtaking lagoon views, a firm sunset favourite where mixologists craft signature drinks. The perfect spot to watch the sky change colour with a cocktail in hand.

Senses Lounge & Bar is a vibrant lounge serving flavourful bites and colourful cocktails in a stylish, social setting. An easy place to gather for drinks, music and light dining through the evening.

Here, near the crystal-clear swimming pool that extends out to sea, with shimmering views of the lagoon on three sides, pause at the Veli Pool Bar next to the water. Enjoy a refreshing drink as you soak up those incredible watery views.

East Bar offers over-water bar service with cocktails and sundowners above the lagoon. A breezy spot perched over the water, perfect for a relaxed drink as the sun sets across the Indian Ocean.

Right by the beach, with a front-row view of the sunrise, this sociable enclave is situated near our reception, right by the water sports centre. Unwind to an island soundtrack and reggae vibes, while sharing your experiences from the last dive or your exciting water sports session. No wonder you tell us this is one of your favourite laid-back watering holes in the world.

An ode to Japan, and its incredible variety of cooking methods, flavours and textures. UMAMI is as chic as it is contemporary–the perfect setting for gastronomic Japanese cuisine. Take a seat at the cobalt blue bar to watch the chef handle a knife with such grace, cutting the freshest fish and seafood into sashimi, nigiri and maki. Kobe beef and Australian lamb are cooked to perfection at the robata grill, while another chef fires up the teppanyaki. Saké fans rejoice–we have 30 or so to pick from, as well as a curated selection of fine Japanese whiskey. Now that’s a way to toast to a fabulous dinner!

Pick at delicious fresh pizzas straight from our wood-fired oven in the ultimate relaxed setting, right on the soft-sand beach–crisp, thin crusts, topped with the freshest ingredients, baked to perfection. But there’s more. Salads, grilled seafood. We bring the Mediterranean to you. And your feet in the sand, eyes on the lagoon view and the breeze in your hair. That’s a recipe for good times.
