Budget Hotels in South Ari Atoll

"I love the experience unforgettable in glad I stayed at LUX"

"We recently had the privilege of staying at Villa Park Sun Island Maldives, and it was nothing short of magical. The moment you step onto this island, you're enveloped by its natural beauty - the lush vegetation, the white sandy beaches, and those crystal-clear waters that you've only seen in pictures until now. The accommodation was phenomenal; we stayed in one of the Villas with a private pool, and it felt like our own little slice of paradise. The design was both elegant and comfortable, blending seamlessly with the environment. The sunset views from the Sunset Water Villas we saw were breathtaking, and we are definitely considering them for our next visit. Dining here was a culinary journey. From savouring traditional Maldivian dishes at the local restaurants to the exquisite Thai restaurant , every meal felt special. However, we did notice that sometimes the buffet could use a bit more variety to keep the excitement of the palate alive. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, making our stay genuinely enjoyable. They had this perfect balance of being there when you needed them but also giving you the space to enjoy your solitude. Overall, Villa Park Sun Island is a dream destination. It's got everything you could want for a Maldivian escape with just a little room for enhancement in the dining experience and island navigation. We are already planning our return!"

"Beautiful island with nice sandy beach, and nice house reef just 30-50 meters away from beach villa, can go snorkeling anytime according to guest desire, dont need a boat ride. Sea plane schedule to leave the island is difficult to arrange according to guest request, either too early or too close to guest flight time/speed boat ride from Male to somewhere else. "

"Absolutely amazing, you need to stay in an overwater sunset villa w/ pool, this gets you exclusive club access basically to yourself and many other added benefits/perks and you must do all inclusive or the Grand all inclusive. Only complaint is my wife is the pickiest eater you'll meet so it took some adjustment to find meals she liked (even from the kids menu) but all restaurants were super accommodating in customizing her meal to anything she wanted and by day 2 we had her eating like a king."

"Very friendly staff especially Muby, vissam and Abigail. The room is beautiful. The beach is very nice and clean. The food is not the best but it's ok."

"Amazing staff, beautiful coral reef "

"Amazing island and amazing food "

"This was our trip to the Maldives and our first time at Lily's. Traveling during the low season helped us avoid the crowds and high prices. The Sunset water villa, which comes with a personal butler, is highly recommended. Our butler, Mussey, took care of all our needs. While our stay wasn't perfect, Mussey resolved all issues efficiently and swiftly. Despite being one of the older properties in the Maldives, Lily's maintains its rooms and grounds very well. With over six decades combined in the hospitality industry, my wife and I can be quite critical about accommodations and service standards. We'll return to collect our special memories scattered throughout the resort and island."

"Lovely staff, stunning accommodation, good food, great excursions. We went on snorkelling trips to look for Whale Sharks, turtles and Manta Rays and saw them all super close to us. Prices also weren’t quite as punitive as we’ve seen in the Maldives before (eg champagne for USD50, cocktails for USD12). "
