Amazing holiday. The spa with Ami and Sisilia was heavenly (please request them..amazing and you won’t regret it!) Our room was beautiful, coming back after dinner to a full bathtub with flowers…flowers on the bed….Waheed was the best! Tima made a video of our snorkeling with the sea turtles and all the other beautiful fish on the reef. We were two adults, but I could see this being an amazing family vaca with the kids. Laurent the manager made sure to ask us every day if things were to our liking. They feed the sharks and rays off the dock every evening which is a fun show! Thank you to all for the most wonderful vacation I have ever taken!

Hotel's Favorite
Our 14 night stay at the amazing Lily Beach Resort and Spa comes to an end today. We have stayed in many resorts across the atolls of the Maldives - but Lily Beach is the best. The staff make you feel at home and go above and beyond to make your stay amazing. The sunset water suites are phenomenal with sunset views a plenty and snorkelling with sharks, eagle rays and squid a plenty. Both room boys over our trip took great care of the room and were really attentive. Our beach butler Faisal made our trip. He took incredible care to ensure we had an amazing time and looked after my mother so well! Each day was memorable with lovely table decorations and little touches of details to make memories. Even getting us his volleyball team shirts so we could support. (Good look for the final Team Block!). We think of Faisal as part of the family now. The Head chef Olivier, also went the extra mile adapting menus to accommodate my allergies - wonderful food everywhere from Aqva lunches, Lily Mae breakfast, Tamarind and special meals too! My mother enjoyed talking with Olivier in French (having been a French teacher for many years). Nothing was too much trouble - a lovely man. Diving with pro-dive school was great. Every member Ed, Charl, Atheef and Lauri made each dive amazing - saw lots including various sharks, manta, whale shark as well as lots of little shrimps, nudibranch etc. Boat crew were also fab! We visited the Spa twice, again great service, really relaxing and wonderful ambiance. Perhaps due to my coconut allergy the Spa could explore other oils so that there are more options for treatments for people like me. That being said the lotion was fine. We had the opportunity to do a wine and dine meal with a visiting wine merchant from Croatia which was fascinating and were joined by staff including the manager Lorenzo. He is a genuinely exceptional manager who cares about the services provided. He also has exceptionally good relationships with the staff. He explained his plans for Lily Beach and explained about the dedicated lounge at the sea plane terminal which is not yet available due to the opening of the new terminal. Thanks for spending time with my mum and I Lorenzo! We hope to come back to Lily Beach Resort and Spa next August 2023 perhaps with other members of the family - fingers crossed Faisal can be our butler once again - we cannot wait and have already contacted our travel agent. Thanks to everyone at Lily Beach - our new home away from home - truly amazing 5 star ⭐️…

Am writing this review as I am sitting in the airport. Loved every bit of it. Was here to celebrate my daughters 10th birthday. Staff is very kind. she enjoyed a lot and was infact in tears while leaving. Right form checkin to leaving it was seamless. My checkout was done early and I had a long waiting time for flight. They made it easy by providing lounge access. I would like to thank Mr. Laurent for making necessary arrangements. I would like to give big Shout out to Mr. Tima at the water sports center. He made some amazing videos of snorkelling which will be a life time memory. Trust me snorkelling is amazing here. Lots and lots of fishes right under my room ❤️ Would definitely come back and recommend.

Dear Aparnareddy21, Greetings from all of us at Lily Beach Resort & SPA! Thank you for posting this nice comment. We are delighted that your daughter's 10th birthday party went well and that your whole family enjoyed the resort and the main activity in the Maldives: snorkeling. It is true that our island is surrounded by an incredible reef and the snorkeling so as the dives are simply spectacular.

We loved our stay in Lily Beach.. I never thought the snorkling would be so great .. the house reef is a great adventure with plenty of fish, sharks, rays and turtles.. The food was great in the main restaurant.. Aiman took really good care of us.. but actually all staff was so friendly.. Muhammed grilled some amazing fish for us :-) Upon arrival we tried upgrade because the standard room is really quite small for 4 people.. however this would only be possible if we would move rooms 4 times during our 11 nights stay... so we decided to stay put.. it worked out well enough - but storage is tight - but here I think staff could have been more forthcoming.. What also surprised me was apparently the guest at the water villas are provided bags to carry their stuff around the island.. I would have found that pretty handy too..…

Dear Carolinew34, Greetings from all of us at Lily Beach Resort & SPA! Thank you for having taken time in writing this review. We are delighted that you enjoyed the snorkeling and you managed to spot out sharks, rays and turtles. We are also delighted to read that the wide choice of food around the buffet has perfectly met your needs. As far as the rooms are concerned, we indeed offer several categories, and all our guests generally get their money's worth. Obviously, the highest categories have additional equipment, facilities and amenities that the first categories do not benefit from. It is up to each guest to do their homework and select the category that best suits their tastes. And for guests booking directly with the resort, our reservations team are usually good advice. Shall you wish to come back I highly recommend that you give us a call and explain further your expectation so that you are not disappointed upon arrival. We hope to see you again. Warm regards

Had great time, amazing water for swimming and the snorkeling is stunning as you can see many kinds of fish and sharks. Food is good but definitely needs to be better. Watervillas are very spacious and beds are comfortable. Staff is super friendly as well. Lots of activities are available and the sunset cruise is highly recommended 👌🏻

Dear Muathk2017, Greetings from all of us at Lily Beach Resort & SPA! Thank you for having taken time to get into Tripadvisor and to post this first contribution. We are glad that you enjoyed the snorkeling, it is true that Maldives are well known for this activity and shall you come back I would suggest that you try diving so that you experience a new different and astonished way of discovering the fascinating underwater world. With regards of food it is true that our buffet are currently very much oriented for westerners' guests who actually love our food. Beware that we are currently in the process of hiring a Chinese chef to bring some improvement on the buffet so that we better cater the Asian community. In the meantime, we are truly delighted that you appreciated the friendliness of the Team and that you could experience our sunset cruise. We hope that you will come back and bring many friends with you next time! Kind regards

Never ever have we had such a marvelous and wonderful vacation. Each and everyone who works at Lily Beach does the best he can to make your vacation the best one ever. The food is so good and fresh, the beaches are spectacular, the welcoming by the staff when you arrive was heartwarming and the beachhouse was beautiful. No need to get up early to put your towel on a beachchair, everyone has there own place. This was our first time on this beautiful resort but absolutely not our last one.

If you are looking for a relaxed yet refined ambiance, Lily Beach Resort is the place to be. Upon arrival, I was greeted in a fantasy island like fashion. A very warm welcome from the staff at the doc. The GM touched all the guests arriving. He was very visible and hands on. Clearly displaying his eagerness really finessing the guests. The native island people drumming as the shuttle boat arrived at the doc was a really nice touch.You actually have a private consultation when arriving with a beautiful island refreshing cocktail waiting as the resort specialist orients you to the island and its resort accommodations who takes genuine care and concern for the guests preferences.This staff actually knows your name and is always offering a warm welcoming as you move through all the different outlets. One time only and the bartender and waiter will learn your preferences. Don’t be at all surprised when your favorite beverage just magically arrives at your table!I cannot say enough about the staff… Impeccable would be my best adjective! The service far exceeded my expectations. The Ritz Carlton has nothing on this beautiful resort. Speaking of beautiful, I must say the grounds were lovely . Nothing over done. Just very true to the natural environment. The beaches were beautiful. I highly recommend a photo on the swing in the ocean. The food was excellent. Even the pickiest of eaters will find an array of culinary delights at Lily Beach. This resort is definitely the place to unwind. It’s like a dream land really… If you’re an active type there are so many activities. From scuba, snorkeling, fishing to a sunset cruise. Most activities are included. This really is the place to be. Plenty of activities for the kiddos. So fun to watch them all make new friends and play together. The honeymooners seemed to really be in awe over their special treatments. Enjoyed seeing their reaction as they were spoiled in luxury. If you’re a solo traveler like myself, the staff will befriend you and play a quick game of ping pong with you. They even invited me to play volleyball. Soooo much fun! So sad to leave. Evidently they are remodeling next year. Why? I do not know as everything was so perfect just as is. I will definitely be back to see the changes and hopefully see some of my friends I made here. Just do it! Don’t worry be happy book your trip NOW!!!…

We spent 5 amazing nights at Lily Beach Resort and will absolutely be back!! Had 2 massages at Tamara Day spa by Ria and Yeni which were fantastic, most relaxing and rejuvenating massages. Our Waiter for the week was Hassan and he went above and beyond, was happy to answer any questions we had and a friendly face to see every day! Highly recommend as a couple or with a family! Worth every penny and then some!
