Care for the environment

In 2019, LUX* South Ari Atoll was awarded Leading Eco-Friendly Resort in the Maldives at the 2019 South Asian Travel Awards (SATA). This prestigious title is well-deserved by this stunning property for various reasons including Edible straws, biodegradable cups and plant-based “beef”. The biodegradable straws, made from cooked rice flour, tapioca starch and water, can last up to one hour before they soften and eventually dissolve. The resort avoids importing any product that can be made in-house. You’ll find manta rays, sharks and birds but one thing you’ll never find here is plastic
