Hotel Info

Small but perfectly formed – only 200 metres wide and 500 metres in length – Komandoo is only a 40 minute scenic seaplane transfer from the airport but you arrive in a different world.

A lagoon of crystal clear water surrounded by tropical vegetation and a kilometre of white sand beach, this is a true romantic hideaway, especially as it is over-18’s only. But the best feature is the house reef, which is accessible by simply stepping off the beach, donning your snorkel and discovering an amazing underwater paradise turtles, dolphins, mantas, sharks and rays have been spotted here frequently. In total there are over 50 dive sites within a 10 to 40 minute radius. Over-water or land accommodation, a full range of land and water sports, complimentary Wi-Fi in all guest rooms and most public areas, the Duniye Spa and two restaurants plus two bars complete this island hideaway.

One of the most intimate experiences the Maldives has to offer is a candle light dinner on the beach and at Komandoo you will not be disappointed – the perfect indulgence to celebrate something, or someone special.

Hotel Info

The first luxury ‘Platinum Plan’ resort in the Maldives. This All Inclusive plan gives you premium brand drinks, an international wine list, fine dining options, mini bar stocked daily with beers, wine, soft drinks, water and snacks and two excursions.
This makes the resort some of the most affordable luxury to be found in the region. The natural materials used throughout the resort create a fusion of contemporary design with local Maldivian architecture. The exotic house reef is just a few metres away from the shoreline so don’t forget to see what is hiding below the flat ocean surface – by just donning your snorkelling gear a beautiful, new perspective awaits you – and the resort is in close proximity to some of the best dive sites in the South Ari Atoll. Great for families, with an excellent kids club and family accommodation on the beach. Even better for honeymooners!
If you don’t opt for a Deluxe Water Villa with private pool for your entire stay, consider upgrading for the last couple of nights of your holiday; you won’t be disappointed. A healing treatment at the over water Tamara Spa brings a whole new meaning to the words soothing, tranquillity and relaxation.

Whether seeking a peaceful hideaway or active adventure, the picture-perfect island of Dhidhoofinolhu is home to LUX* South Ari Atoll, a luxury resort where your fantasy of a laid-back, desert island paradise is about to come true.

Here, you’ll discover 193 private villas, dotted at the water’s edge along two miles of powder fine beaches and perched on stilts above a crystal lagoon. On land or above water, sunset facing or sunrise, these super spacious rooms and suites bring an entirely original vibe of coastal, beach house chic to the Maldives.

With a 5-Star PADI dive centre, the resort’s limpid waters are a diver’s nirvana but there’s an equal abundance of snorkelling and opportunities to visit the resident whale sharks. LUX* South Ari Atoll also offers two infinity pools, floodlit tennis courts and a Technogym fitness centre while the LUX* Me spa is host to a wellness concierge and a menu of indulgent and stimulating treatments.

LUX* South Ari Atoll boasts eight eateries and five bars. East Market is a sophisticated take on a bustling local night market. Umami offers fine dining from separate sushi, teppanyaki and robata counters as well as the Maldives’ largest selection of sakes and Japanese whiskeys. Allegria, Senses and MIXE stimulate international palettes and the new Beach Rouge introduces the dolce vita of a fashionable beach club to the island.
