Restaurants
Mixe. Savour the essence of authentic island living at MIXE. With tables set out on the beach under thatched roofs and slow-turning ceiling fans, guests can sink their feet into the warm sand below while tucking into mouth-watering fresh buffets for breakfast and dinner.
Senses Restaurant. Inspired by Middle Eastern and Indian Ocean cuisine, Senses never fails to delight with its tempting menu of tagines, tandoori prawns, and unique tropical sorbets. Tastebuds tingling yet? Enjoy a light lunch of fresh salads, grills, and local seafood, then take a seat at the water’s edge overlooking the infinity pool for an exquisite à la carte dinner under the stars.
East Market. The interactive stalls in our over-the-water Asian-market-inspired restaurant make it as fun to admire the action as it is to try authentic tastes from Thailand, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
Allegria Restaurant. Escape to the Mediterranean embrace of Allegria, here on our deck or right on the beach. Quality Italian ingredients, and authentic southern European recipes, all created with expertise in an open kitchen that invites guests to spy our skilled chefs creating pasta, pizzas, gnocchi, and just-caught seafood.
Umami. It’s not just about full flavors in a chic, contemporary setting – UMAMI is as dedicated to drama as it is too delicious dinners. A bright-red coral reef artwork covers one wall, competing with the theatrics of the knife-wielding, grill-tickling chefs.
Beach Rouge. You’ve heard the album and now enjoy the ambiance as you eat, drink, and make merry. Pick delicious fresh pizzas straight from our wood-fired in the ultimate relaxed setting, right on the soft-sand beach – crisp, thin crusts, topped with the freshest ingredients, baked to perfection.
Bars
Senses Bar and Loung. Senses Bar and Lounge offers a selection of cocktails, rums, liqueurs, beers, and spirits, as well as a refreshing selection of Sri Lankan teas in the afternoon. It also offers light Indian Ocean lunches in the shade, or by the pool if you don’t feel like visiting one of our more formal restaurants.
East Bar. A deck with swinging double seats and loungers-for-two on catamaran nets floating above turquoise waters – this hip little hangout is an atmospheric rendezvous. Sunset cocktail or a low-key nightcap? Spend an evening socializing at this picturesque perch and you will be suggested to stray from the deck that overlooks the island and the ocean to find the biggest surprise that awaits.
Lagoon Bar. Right by the beach, with a front-row view of the sunrise, this sociable enclave is situated near our reception, right by the watersports center.
Cafe LUX*. Excellent coffee is a must, not a luxury; that’s why you’ll find a Café LUX* at the heart of LUX* South Ari Atoll. Café LUX* has revolutionized the world of hotel coffee, and our commitment remains clear: to offer our guests the finest barista-made coffee, day or night.
Veli Bar. Here, near the crystal-clear swimming pool that extends out to sea, with shimmering views of the lagoon on three sides, pause at the Veli Pool Bar next to the water, and enjoy a refreshing drink as you soak up those incredible watery views.
