LUX* South Ari Atoll is proud to celebrate women's achievements and highlight its commitment to promote gender equality by raising awareness against bias and stereotypes. 

This year, LUX* South Ari Atoll celebrates all the powerful and influential women throughout the month of March by recognizing female leaders among its team members and across the country while sharing their uplifting stories, cheering together for their achievements, and supporting them along the way.

Their dedication and passion add great value and a heartwarming touch to the guests’ journey at LUX* South Ari Atoll.

Mirella Veder is the talented Director of Sales, born in the island settings of Mauritius and now developing tourism in the sunny Maldives. Sindy Lagare is another Mauritian colleague who joined LUX* South Ari family about eight years ago and now leads the wellness department as the Director of Spa & Wellness. A new joiner from Ukraine Anastasiya Babenko is the PR & Marketing Manager, developing creative strategies and hunting for new ideas. The resort’s Housekeeping Supervisor, Sathuna Hamza, is coming from the North of the Maldives and arrived at the island as a coordinator back in 2014. Another Maldivian talent is Aminath Shamheeda, whose passion for childcare brought her to the Assistant Kids Club Manager position.
