LUX* South Ari Atoll Titled ‘Most Sustainable Wedding Resort in South Asia’
LUX* South Ari Atoll has been awarded South Asia's Most Sustainable Wedding Resort at the LUXlife Global Wedding Awards.
Launched in 2016 and now returning for the sixth consecutive year, LUXlife 2022 Global Wedding Awards aims to join the finest businesses across the wedding industry, from wedding planners and stunning venues to high-end caterers and bespoke stationers.
Ensuring the co-existence of low-impact destination weddings and luxury, the resort’s wedding catalogue features three fresh themes — Wanderlust, Boho and Tropical Paradise - while highlighting chic sustainable hallmarks as part of its fabric. While all wedding themes are unique in their own ways, they all have one common aspect – care for the planet. One the latest sustainability initiates by the resort is its Zero Waste Weddings concept.
Furthermore, purchasing a wedding package also funds the education of an underprivileged child and a visit to the children’s shelter during a stay can be organised. The couple can also choose to support the ocean and help to restore local marine ecosystem by adopting a coral frame. The resident Marine Biologist will be happy to share regular updates on the growing baby corals.
