Unmatched Beachfront Views and Amenities
One of the most striking features of the Two-Bedroom Family Beach Pavilions is their proximity to the beach. The bungalows are so close to the shoreline that you can almost feel the sand between your toes as you step out onto your private terrace. The entire front wall of each bungalow is made of glass, offering panoramic views of the beach and ocean. This design not only brings the outdoors in but also allows for an abundance of natural light to flood the space, creating a bright and airy atmosphere.
Floor Plans of the Two-Bedroom Family Beach Pavilions: Parents and kids can enjoy their own spaces with interconnected rooms that allow easy access when needed, while also offering the option to lock for privacy. Each bedroom features its own entrance with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open directly onto the beach terrace.
Each bungalow is equipped with a private terrace, furnished with comfortable seating where you can relax and take in the stunning surroundings. The terraces are the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evening cocktails as the sun sets over the horizon.
Inside, the bungalows are equipped with all the modern amenities you could need. The bathrooms are spacious, featuring both a shower and a bathtub, and are stocked with LUX*’s collection of bath amenities. You’ll also find all the creature comforts you expect from a luxury resort, including robes, slippers, a hair dryer, and more. The rooms are kept cool with air conditioning and fans, ensuring that you remain comfortable even during the warmest parts of the day.
For those who enjoy a well-stocked minibar, the pavilions do not disappoint. Each bungalow comes with a fully-stocked minibar, as well as a coffee machine for your morning brew. Complimentary Earth (still) and Dance (sparkling) water are also provided.
Perfect for Families and Friends
The Two-Bedroom Family Beach Pavilions are perfect for families with young children or teens, as well as groups of friends who enjoy travelling together. The bungalows can accommodate up to four adults and two teens or children, or two adults and four teens or children or babies, making them a versatile option for various group sizes. The separate entrances provide additional privacy, which is particularly appreciated by parents who want to keep an eye on their little ones while also enjoying some alone time.
For families, the pavilions offer the perfect setup. Parents can have their own space while the kids have theirs, but everyone is close enough to stay connected. The interconnected bungalows allow for easy access between the two rooms when needed, but the doors can also be locked for added privacy. This flexibility is one of the key reasons why the pavilions are so popular with families.

Tips for a Seamless Stay
Travelling to LUX* South Ari Atoll is an adventure in itself, and there are a few tips that can help make your journey as smooth as possible. If you’re travelling with young children who have sensitive ears, it’s a good idea to bring earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones for the seaplane ride. The seaplanes can be a bit loud, and the headphones can help reduce the noise.
It’s also worth noting that seaplanes in the Maldives do not fly at night, so if you arrive in the evening, you’ll need to spend the night in Malé. To avoid this, try to arrive as early in the day as possible. Alternatively, you can take a 20-minute domestic flight to a nearby airport and then a 10-minute speedboat ride to the resort. This option can be particularly useful if your arrival time doesn’t align with the seaplane schedule.
Another tip is to book bicycles before you arrive. Bicycles are a popular way to get around the island, and they can run out during peak periods. Having a bike not only makes it easier to explore the resort but also adds to the overall experience of your stay.
Finally, don’t forget to participate in the resort’s “Message In A Bottle” activity. If you’re up early enough, you might just find one of these hidden treasures. Start your search by 6:50 am for the best chance of success.
