ARI BEACH
RESORT- Facts
|
One of the few resorts in the Maldives that has deliberately
retained the special magic of
these simple and naturally beautiful islands, avoiding
the rigid style of "city" hotels with
emphasis on preserving the natural environment and a relaxed
ambience, yet at the same
time providing all modern comforts and facilities, excellent
local and international cuisine
and superb recreational facilities.
The resort is also located in one of the best scuba-diving
locations in the Maldives, with
over 25 excellent dive sites nearby - Sightings of whale
sharks and manta rays. It is no
surprise
therefore, that the resort also features one of the best
dive schools, in fact the only
5-Star PADI dive center in Maldives. The dive center is
managed by the largest and most
experienced dive operator in the country, with a highly
skilled and professional multi-lingual
staff. From a 10-year old doing his first 'bubble' dive
to Instructor Trainer, Aribeach Dive
School can handle it all.
