A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because the first undersea restaurant in the world opened here in 2005 and the island followed it with The Muraka, a residence whose lower level sits beneath the lagoon – and it holds four-star standing, listed at exactly the tier it holds.
- Two islands in South Ari Atoll, thirty minutes by seaplane from Velana International; a Conrad resort of Hilton.
- Ithaa, the first undersea restaurant in the world, opened in 2005; The Muraka, a residence on two levels with its bedroom below the surface of the lagoon.
- Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star 2026 for the hotel.
The neighborhood
Ari Atoll
The long atoll west of Malé, with whale sharks along the South Ari reef the year round. It is made up of North and South Ari and is reached by seaplane or by domestic flight to Maamigili, at its southern end. The north has its dive sites, the wide inner lagoon lies between the two, and three of the twenty-four hotels are here.
- The South Ari reef and its whale sharks, by boat along the atoll's southern rim.
- LUX* South Ari Atoll, its neighbor in the collection in South Ari.
- Malé and Velana International, thirty minutes by seaplane.
