Lily Resort and Spa – the five-pearl property in Huvahendhoo,Maldives.

There are a lot of things the Maldives is famous for. The crystal clear blue waters, sunkissed beaches and mouth-watering food. The one other thing that there is no shortage of is ultra-luxurious 5-star resorts to stay at.
They are perfect for a romantic getaway, a fancy bachelorette, or the perfect family vacation you are looking for next. One of these top, highly recommended properties is Lily Resort and Spa. The resort has won the Best All-Inclusive Resort in Maldives and Asia Award both in 2019 and 2020 by TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice Awards.

Lily’s Location and Setup

Lily Beach Resort and Spa is located on the Huvahendhoo private island in South Ari Atoll. A 25-minute seaplane ride from the Male international airport will take you to the resort’s floating ocean deck. From here, a 10-minute speed boat ride will take you to the arrival jetty. After this ride, you are greeted at the doorstep with some fresh fruit, a cool towel and a bottle of water. It is the perfect place to go looking for whale sharks since the surrounding waters are a natural hotspot for the largest known extant fish species. The top resort also has a house reef which is very rare in luxury resorts in the Maldives.

The whole setup revolves around a contemporary style of accommodation mixing a sophisticated yet very exciting vibe to the place. The overall environment is very calm, pleasing, and comfortable. The resort staff is very hospitable and efficient.
