Since December 2011, LUX* Maldives has worked tirelessly to be recognized as a leading resort in the Maldives and last night’s award ceremony held in Male firmly confirmed this achievement. The resort has been officially awarded for its ongoing innovation, high standards of guest service, understanding of family needs, unique concepts and a true belief in the motto of ‘helping people to celebrate life’. PLAY is the large and well equipped resort kids club for children below the age of 12 providing a daily program of activities including treasure hunts, yoga, pizza making and cake decorating. Teens enjoy a sophisticated program called STUDIO 17 including team sports, teen only excursions, guitar lessons and can even learn how to be a DJ for their own party. The 5 star PADI dive centre and well equipped water sports centre warmly welcomes families of all age groups providing a wide range of experiences in, on and under the water! At LUX* Maldives kids are sure to never be bored and with 7 restaurants everyone is sure to find something they like.

After winning against some of the long established beach resorts of the Maldives, LUX* Maldives General Manager Shaun Dunhofen said “We are immensely proud to receive this wonderful award in this year’s Maldives Travel Awards. The Maldives has become a very popular destination for family holidays and our large beach front, wide selection of resort facilities and experiences, coupled with passionate team members, ensures our guests enjoy the best beach holiday possible”.

As the Festive Season draws closer, LUX* Maldives is looking forward to celebrating this special time with its guests.
