In reimagining the romantic beach pool villas at LUX* South Ari Atoll, we focused on how guests move through the day. The new pool becomes a sequence of intimate moments — a shaded island for slow breakfasts, a sculpted ledge for sun-soaked lounging, and a long, quiet axis to the ocean beyond.
Nothing is excessive; every gesture is purposeful. By refining proportions and letting water, sand, and foliage take the lead, we transformed a familiar villa type into something softer, more fluid, and deeply personal. A renovation that feels less like an upgrade, and more like a rediscovery.
