Surrounded by pristine waters, white sandy beaches and lush tropical greenery, the Lily Beach Resort & Spa is a divine choice for a holiday in the Maldives.

Amazing Stay in Paradise!
Our stay at this hotel was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the warm and welcoming staff who made us feel at home. The food was exceptional—every day brought a new variety of delicious dishes, and everything was prepared to perfection.
The cleanliness of the hotel was outstanding. Our room was spotless, with frequent towel changes and impeccable housekeeping. The stunning infinity pool was a highlight, offering breathtaking views and a perfect place to relax.
The location is also ideal for snorkeling, with easy access to vibrant marine life just steps away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a dream getaway in the Maldives!

We spent 4 nights at Lily Beach as the second half of our honeymoon and had very high expectations after a successful first part in a similar resort. Overall, we have to say the experience was disappointing. Here is our review:
Positive:
- Location in south ari atoll, amazing marine life (whale sharks, black tips, white tips, nurse sharks, manta rays…)
- Aqua Bar, amazing setting and sunset in a quiet zone (no kids). We spent most of our time there and really enjoyed it
- Excellent Spa, breathtaking location and skilled staff. They even have a transparent floor so you get to see the fish while getting your massage
- Tamarind restaurant, probably the best food we had during our honeymoon, also a unique location on the water
- Good selection of French cheese, butter and wine
- Plenty of activities and good leisure infrastructures
Negative:
- 30+ years old resort and you can feel it, the beach villa needs renovation as well as cockroach treatment.
- The room was dirty, housekeeping needs to be improved. This is unacceptable for a 5 star luxury resort competing with the bests in the world nearby
- Loud Chinese people and kids everywhere! We did not feel intimate enough for a honeymoon. I was even welcomed in Chinese even though I am French, probably a misunderstanding…
- Lily Maa main buffet restaurant is pretty average, not 5 star level
- Staff is not at the level of other resorts we did in the same price range. They sometimes do not even say hello back. We were given a private host that did not answer our requests on WhatsApp
- WiFi is very slow

Exceptional. Stayed Dec. 23 over Christmas .
The staff couldn’t do enough to please us.
Easy logistics from flight arrival to catching the float plane - all organised professionally .
The resort was always accommodating to our requests.
The Christmas experience for my daughter was special. Gifts given to the resort children from Santa, amazing gala Christmas dinner decor with incredible food to boot. Resort was lit up with lights. The resort went out of their way to make Christmas special for those guests who celebrate.
The water Villa was out of this world. Straight off your front porch into the water where an amazing reef awaits. One of the few resorts sitting on a beautiful reef with an abundance of fish & marine life to view.
Lily Beach resort & spa ticks all the boxes.
The food ??? Wow. The chef’s made scrumptious food. There is something for everyone.
We will be back & we will bring our friends next time !
Thank you for wonderful memories, may 2024 we a good one
