There are amazingly clear waters, cafes, watersports and everything else you need. The villas were spacious with very comfortable beds and good air conditioning. The staff were super friendly and breakfast was delicious. They arranged the transfer from Male Airport and met us at the port when we arrived and transported our luggage, which was really helpful.

Set in Rasdu, Veligandu Maldives Resort Island features a private beach area. Offering a restaurant, the property also has an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness centre. Guests can make use of a garden. We stayed for 4 days in a water villa with a private Jacuzzi and 3 meals included. Everything was exceptionally great! The hospitality and helpfulness of the staff was beyond our expectations, special thanks to our guide Ali Shahil. Literally all the staff were very kind, helpful and available all the time. The place is peaceful, spotless and immaculate. You can walk around the whole island barefoot even in the restaurant. The food was AMAZING, with wide range of variety, so many options for halal food, live cooking and more. It was an open buffet at the main restaurant. Daily activities are available like cruises and snorkeling trips that we enjoyed and definitely worth experiencing. Out of many resorts I have been to around the world this is by far the best one. Worth the money.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience awaits you at Lily Beach Resort & Spa, where luxury and bliss entwine together under the vibrant colours of the setting sun. Located on Huvahendhoo Island in the South Ari Atoll, this award-winning, five-star resort is a short 25-minute flight by seaplane from the capital Male’ International Airport. This proximity, as well as the reputation of its legendary all-inclusive plan and the surrounding natural beauty of the Maldives, make it a sought-after destination. Lily Beach was the best hotel we've stayed at in the Maldives. The resort itself was fabulous - best food we've had in the Maldives, service was great and our room beautiful. Spa was great, kids loved the kids club activities, fishing trip and playground. We went snorkelling with whale sharks, mantas, turtles and also did night snorkelling where we saw nurse sharks, reef sharks, lion fish, turtles sleeping and more. The pet parrot on the island was a bonus for our 5 year old! We had so much to do we didn't use the watersports centre. The app was also very useful - to the point and easy to use.

Deceivingly modest exteriors hide worldly comforts and indulgences and all villas offer direct access to the beach or to the sea. Designed for couples seeking to rekindle their romance or for families looking to spend quality time together, Outrigger Maldives Maafushivaru Resort offers an experience that elegantly combines a Maldives from times-gone-by with the contemporary luxuries of the present, distinguishing it from other Maldives all inclusive resorts. At Maafushivaru, let us help you make memories that will be forever cherished. A wonderful picturesque resort and beautiful scenery all around. We had the water pool villa and it was gorgeous, spacious and so comfortable. They cleaned our villa twice a day which was a huge plus. They have many water sport activities to offer, the jet ski trip was so fun. The spa was fantastic and relaxing. The breakfast and dinner buffet and drinks were spectacular. The food was delicious. But the service in this place sets it apart from everywhere else I’ve been, the staff is super attentive, sweet, friendly and welcoming. They made us feel at home. I can’t wait to visit them again. Special thanks to Vivi Harvini who has assisted us and made sure we had everything we needed every single moment and big thank you to Mohammed jameel and Victoria who always took care of us during breakfast and dinner. And a huge appreciation for the Chef Chintaka who not only made fantastic meals but also was so nice to give me the recipes when I asked him for it. So many names I have not memorized sadly of the staff who left an amazing impression on all of us. What a fantastic management and resort.
