FAMILY

Family movie nights are the best nights. Now imagine a gigantic screen outdoors under the starry sky. With popcorn. And ice cream. Head over to Senses’ beach and sit back and enjoy the show.

A kids club is the resort equivalent of headquarters. It’s a safe space where they can play, make new friends, and learn new things. And while most resorts have one, we designed ours to make it as mindful and modern as can be. Open from 9 in the morning to 7 at night, we offer expertly-curated, age-appropriate activities that support individuality, self-discovery and development. Like our kids Yoga and Zumba. PLAY revolves around five pillars: Eat well, Move, Care, Feel and Create. Parents, you’ll be glad to know we also have a mindful kids menu that offers nourishing delicious dishes in addition to the favourites.

You’ll never hear them say, “I’m bored”. That’s because they’re too busy having fun. You can find them on the tennis courts, underwater - snorkelling and planting coral - or practising watersports, socialising at a quiz night, journaling at Wanderlust Library or making art at JunkArt studio. Our resort is the perfect place for teenagers to gain a little more independence and make new friends. Plus, they’ll love how Instagrammable it all is.

Make our Family Lagoon Pavilion your home in the tropics. As a matter of fact, you can't be closer to the beach even if you tried. That makes it a good choice for families with a tribe of little travellers in tow who want nothing more than to build sandcastles or explore the island. This villa is a 130sqm unit with one entrance leading to two separate living spaces, perfect for families with kids or teens who want some privacy as well.

As islanders, we know a thing or two about cooling off in the tropical heat. That’s why we created our very own brand of ice cream: ICI. Not only can the kids enjoy the goods - a variety of ice cream, gelato and sorbets -, they can also learn how to make it. Together with our island's chef, the little foodies can create their very own frozen treats.

LUX* Me Spa welcomes our younger travellers too. We have a menu of treatments adapted to their age with spa products that smell like desserts. They can get manis and pedis, and we’ll even share skincare tips with the teens. Note that parents must accompany them. Since as a parent you have to be there, you might as well book a Mother-daughter treatment or a Father & Son one.

Treasure hunts. Board games at sunset with an aperitivo for the grown-ups. Trying a new watersport for the first time. Snorkelling with our in-house marine biologist. A swim alongside a giant whale shark. Adopting a coral. Daily swims and beach walks. Family dinners. Spa time. LUX* South Ari Atoll is the perfect family holiday destination. There are tons of activities for everyone.
