we spent two weeks on this lovely island and wouldn't mind going back. we chose maldives specifically for the water villas but stayed at both beach villa and water villa. in the end we concluded that beach villa gave more peace and privacy than water villa. during our stay we also had a wedding ceremony and felt we were taken...

This was our third trip to the Maldives following stays at Medhufushi and Banyan Tree. We were slightly nervous about booking for this hotel due to the size of the island! We like to keep ourselves to ourselves on holiday with peace and quiet - however we need not have worried too much. Private Lounge - when we arrived at... More

Despite the title to this review, we managed to have an enjoyable stay at Lux*, as we were spending Christmas there with some friends and decided to not let the irritations cloud our stay. We feel that Lux* should be compared on a like for like basis to other resorts in the Maldives, especially since it is billed as a... More

Secondly, the Beach House (number 346), spacious with a fantastic view and located in the middle of the island, near many amenities (the Island... More

This was our 4th trip to the Maldives, we've been to many 4 to 5 star resorts in Mauritius, Seychelles, Thailand, Indonesia, etc. We were not disappointed, don't pay attention to those who critize this hotel, they...

Just returned from a weeks stay at Lux, from start to finish a fantastic time. We had a beach villa, very spacioius and private with your own patch of beach, idyllic. I was a bit concerned about insects, but the resort is sprayed daily which seems to keep things under control, however I managed to get quite badly bitten, even... More
