Today, February 1st, 2019, LUX* North Male Atoll opens: a week after some 30 global media and self-styled influencers were hosted for a preview of this luxury resort. I can report that for those who are drawn to the white-blue chiaroscuro of Mykonos or Santorini, or the vibe of Miami Beach, this is just the perfect luxury resort here in the Maldives.

LUX* Resorts & Hotels has vowed to stay away from the “traditional thatched villa vibe” synonymous with the Maldives for its latest property which will open in the Indian Ocean country in February.
