The Story Behind "ARIA"
The name "ARIA" is deeply rooted in history and inspired by a 17th-century map created by early sailors. These explorers, charting the vast oceans with their navigation skills and sailboats, discovered a remarkable atoll—the largest of its kind, with numerous islands, including Ukulhas. In their map, they named this majestic place "ARIA Atoll." Over time, however, modern maps have shortened it to "ARI Atoll."
Drawing inspiration from this rich history, ARIA Beach was named to honor the sailors' journey and the spirit of discovery. The hotel's logo was thoughtfully crafted to reflect the shape of coral, designed in the form of the atoll, with shades of blue to capture the natural beauty and tranquil ambiance of the ocean. The pyramid shape of the logo represents the apex of excellence, while the arrangement of coral mirrors the blooming of a coconut flower, symbolizing new life and growth.
During the hotel's construction, a conscious effort was made to preserve the island's many coconut trees, ensuring that the property exudes an eco-friendly and nature-filled environment. ARIA Beach is not just a place to stay—it is a tribute to the island's heritage, natural beauty, and a commitment to sustainability.
