South Ari Atoll holidays

The South Ari Atoll, also known as the Alifu Dhaalu Atoll, is located on the western side of the Maldives and boasts all of the features that the archipelago is famed for. As you glide over the atoll in your seaplane, stilted bungalows emerge out of the azure ocean, met at the shoreline by the pristine white sand of palm-fringed beaches. It’s not only the picturesque surroundings that make it feel like you’ve entered paradise, as luxurious personalised spa treatments and lazing on sun-baked beaches are also on the agenda. If you’re after a more active island getaway, there’s no shortage of sports to fill your days (everything from windsurfing and banana boating to yoga and beach volleyball). One thing that sets South Ari Atoll apart is the focus on plant-based and sustainable food offerings, and your hotel’s expertly-crafted menu can be enjoyed as a floating breakfast in your pool or a romantic dinner under the stars.
