Scuba Diving
The resort is home to its very own five-star PADI dive centre, offering bespoke diving programmes for all ages and abilities, led by experienced, friendly and qualified instructors. Explore the warm, clear waters and come up close to a wealth of wondrous marine wildlife – including tropical fish, whale sharks, turtles, dolphins, manta rays and much more!
Spa Breaks
Located in the centre of the island, the LUX* Me Spa is a sanctuary of serenity in which a personalised approach to your wellbeing awaits. As well as an extensive menu of treatments and therapies using Mamma Aroma products made using local ingredients, you can also look forward to mindfulness workshops, meditation, nutrition plans and fitness offerings in conjunction with London-based brand SP&Co.
Wildlife Encounters
As well as the marine life spotted while snorkelling or diving, you can board the traditional dhoni boat alongside the resident marine biologist and head out across the water in search of the largest fish on earth, the whale shark. Learn more about this fascinating species and with a resident population of them, you’re likely to spot them no matter the time of year!
