Welcome to Lily Beach

Lily Beach Resort & Spa is the original and iconic all-inclusive resort in the Maldives. This Maldivian owned property provides a luxurious experience that takes traditional Maldivian hospitality to a new level. The stylish resort has earned a worldwide reputation for excellence, thanks to its pristine beaches, lush vegetation and wonderful diving and snorkelling sites. We would recommend this island to both families and couples, with numerous activities available, as well as plenty of peaceful spots for those seeking relaxation. The island's shape and layout ensure that it never feels crowded.

From romantic water villas to family beach villas

Only natural materials are used at Lily Beach Resort & Spa to construct the villas and public areas, combining contemporary design with local Maldivian architecture. Guests can choose between a selection of luxurious beach or over-water villas, and those who can’t quite decide can opt for a Lagoon Villa, which is positioned half over the water and offers direct lagoon access from the private terrace! Families on the other hand will love the space offered by the Beach Family Villas, which comprise two interconnecting Beach Villas.

Indulge with a premium all inclusive plan

Lily Beach Resort & Spa is renowned for its premium all-inclusive Platinum Plan. Lily Maa is the resort's main restaurant which offers some of the finest buffets we have sampled in the Maldives. Families will enjoy the lively atmosphere at Vibes Bar, whilst couples can enjoy the peace and quiet at AQVA Pool Bar, which overlooks the adults only pool at the quieter end of the island. Both offer a la carte menus for lunch, and guests can visit Tamarind once per week for lunch or dinner. This fine dining restaurant serves Thai and Indian fusion cuisine, and the Platinum Plan also includes premium brands of spirits, fine wines and even Taittinger Champagne!

Take to the ocean or relax at the spa

Another feature of the Platinum Plan is the inclusion of three complimentary excursions per person with a choice of coral garden snorkelling, a fishing trip, sunset cruise or a trip to a local island. The island's house reef is exceptional with more than 40 dive sites and shipwrecks within easy reach, and the resort’s dive centre offers PADI dive courses for guests of all ages and abilities. For those who wish to simply unwind, we can highly recommend a visit to the Tamara Spa, where tranquil overwater spa pavilions are designed to refresh and rejuvenate you by pampering body and mind.

Our opinion

The house reef is superb and I was delighted to be able to snorkel from the shore and spot plenty of colourful marine life. A highlight of my stay at Lily Beach Resort & Spa was the Ocean Adventure Excursion, a boat trip where I was able to swim with manta rays and whale sharks - highly recommended!
