Lily Beach Resort and Spa

My stay at Lily Beach Resort & Spa was honestly amazing. From the moment we arrived, everything felt relaxed and welcoming. The villa was super comfortable with beautiful ocean views, and waking up to the sound of the waves was the best part. The all-inclusive food and drinks were really good with lots of variety, and snorkeling right off the beach was unforgettable. What truly made the experience special was the friendly and caring staff — they made us feel so looked after. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the Maldives. Would love to go back!

I stayed at Lily Beach for 10 nights and had an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and well taken care of. The resort is beautifully maintained, with crystal-clear water, stunning views, and excellent attention to detail throughout the property. My villa was comfortable, clean, and perfectly set up for a relaxing stay. The food was consistently delicious, with a great variety of options each day. I also really enjoyed the activities—snorkeling, spa treatments, and sunset views were definite highlights. What truly stood out was the service. Every staff member was friendly, attentive, and eager to make the stay perfect. Overall, my 10-night stay exceeded expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable getaway!

Our honeymoon stay at Lily Beach Resort & Spa was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the level of service stood out - the staff were genuinely warm, incredibly attentive, and always seemed to anticipate what we needed before we even asked. Every interaction felt personal and thoughtful, which made the whole experience feel truly special. The food was another absolute highlight. The standard across all meals was outstanding, with a fantastic variety and consistently high quality. Each dish was fresh and full of flavour, easily rivalling top restaurants rather than a typical resort buffet. It was clear that a huge amount of care goes into both the ingredients and the execution. Combined with the stunning surroundings, Lily Beach delivers a perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and hospitality. We left feeling completely relaxed, well looked after, and already talking about when we can return. Highly recommended. 🌴✨

I visited Lily Beach Resort & Spa in 2015, and it was an amazing experience. The staff were really approachable and accommodating. This resort in the Maldives is a perfect destination for a luxurious getaway, offering a full-package stay with complete meals. I truly enjoyed trying the different varieties of cocktails and wines. It’s been a decade, and I would love to go back again. If given the chance, I look forward to returning there in the future. Maldives 🇲🇻 | November 2015.

Arrival: The transfer from Ayada to Lily on the day via Male was efficient and hassle-free . We were greeted at the domestic terminal and were guided throughout the whole seaplane check-in and boarding process. It was the first time for us to take a seaplane to a resort in the Maldives. Lily Beach/Hideaway group has a nice seaplane lounge. Room: We got a lagoon villa on the south side of the resort. It had everything we needed for our stay. The bed was quite comfy, and this is the most important thing for us. The room looked a bit old and had an old style with an outdoor bathroom (toilet and shower/bathtub). On a hot and humid day, it might not be pleasant to use these facilities. I personally got bitten by mozzies several times during the stay, especially when it was dark. The reef drop-off on the south side is only a few meters from the lagoon villas. Service: Most staff members were friendly and helpful. We visited all four restaurants during our stay. We found the service at Aqua/Vibes/Tamarind impeccable. However, the service at the main buffet restaurant (Lily Maa) was unfortunately inconsistent and sometimes really bad. For example, three used plates were left on the table for more than 15 minutes while there were 3-4 waiters walking by and/or standing nearby, looking at our tables and the plates and doing nothing. We did not expect this poor quality of service at a 5-star resort. I guess those staff members were not in charge of our table, but this would not help overall. Staff training should be considered I suppose. House reef and snorkelling: The corals and drop-off at the south side were more beautiful compared to the north sodd. Lots of anemones, and quite fishy! We also saw quite a few sharks and one eagle ray. Shout-out: One staff member who really stood out in my own opinion was Nada. From day 1 to the last day we left the resort, Nada was extremely helpful, friendly and genuine. She is the one who could make us think of coming back to Lily. Well done, Nada, and keep well!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent diving, outstanding food & champagne – we will be back We had a wonderful stay at Lilly Beach Resort and will definitely return. The diving with ProDivers was exceptional – highly professional, extremely well organized and with a strong focus on safety. We have rarely experienced such a calm, structured and safe diving operation, combined with spectacular dive sites. What truly stood out was the food and drinks. The quality across the resort was outstanding: excellent sushi, fantastic Thai dishes, great variety and consistently high standards. A special highlight was the Taittinger champagne, perfectly chilled and always available – a real luxury touch that elevated the entire experience. Service throughout the resort was warm, attentive and genuinely friendly, making us feel welcome from start to finish. Lilly Beach perfectly combines world-class diving, excellent cuisine and relaxed luxury. Highly recommended.

Today is our last day, very sad about leaving this place at it’s been an amazing 5 days gateway. We loved the beautiful place, truly wonderful water colour and beach. Our room was just as lovely as the entire resort. The staff has been very nice and welcoming. The food is also amazing, every day different theme, and allows you to discover the cuisine of the world. They have available snorkelling gears, and we probably saw as much as when scuba diving. (The only downside is the price of the scuba diving, which I personally found a bit pricey) The rooms are super clean and maintained well. For a couple who loves adventure but want to give it a rest, I think 5/6 days is enough :) One main drawback is the communication within the staff and organisation of internal flight transfers… not very optimised according to flight schedules.. our flight on the departure day was at 23:30 , they booked a flight from the island to the airport at 2pm, and only got the information the day before at 8pm (so really no time to organise anything), so we ended up with a really long wait at the airport from 14:30 til 23:30…. And also lots of miscommunication and not very responsive (quick enough) via email prior to the arrival at the resort.
