Guest Reviews

• ZANNA (10/5): -
• Jürgen Weinstein (10/5): Schönster Ulaub ever wie immer. - Personal Afri unser Kellner und Ludwig mit seiner Frau und seinem Team von der Tauchschule. Sind zum 5 x da und hätten uns von der Lagunen Villa über ein Upgrade gefreut. War leider nicht möglich.
• Jürgen (10/5): Wie immer tadellos!! - Wie immer super rundum sorglos ! Wir sind zum 5 x da und hatten eine Lagunen Haus. Da das Hotel zu 50 Prozent ausgelastet ist, hätten wir uns über ein Upgrade in eine höhere Kategorie gefreut. War aber leider wohl nicht möglich.
• Gabriele (9/5): - Die Lage, das Riff und die exzellente Küche sind außergewöhnlich gut. Das Personal vom Kellner, dem Barmann bis hin zum Handwerker immer freundlich Angekündigte Events (hier: Wassergymnastik im Pool) fanden einfach nicht statt
• Vu (9/5): -
• Caroline (10/5): Best all-inclusive we’ve ever been to - highly recommend! - The vacation of a lifetime! The house-reef snorkeling was amazing and the staff, especially the staff at the main restaurant with the buffet, were absolutely incredible. We were very happy with the lagoon villas (except for that outdoor toilet…would prefer that indoors in the AC) and our placement on the island. This is the best all-inclusive experience we’ve ever had - top notch food, drinks and service. It’s pricey, but it’s worth it. Our room had an outdoor toilet and shower. The shower was fine, but with the extreme heat and humidity, the outdoor toilet experience was really hot and unpleasant.
• Christian (10/5): Ein sehr entspannter Urlaub - Freundliches Personal, gutes Essen, tolle Tauchschule, phänomenale Villa am Meer und Hausriff
• deanh260 (10/5): Fantastic house reef for snorkeling. Amazing food and service through-out. - Accommodation It's the first time we have stayed in a water villa (327) and we were very happy with it. Incredibly spacious and light. The bed was enormous and very comfortable.  The air-conditioning can get a little noisy but the room maintained a comfortably cool temperature all day and night.  It could do with a little maintenance here and there but you should expect that given the age of the resort and the varying weather conditions through-out the year.  Service Attentive but not intrusive. Everyone in the the resort is super friendly and welcoming. Special mentions to - Jaleel for looking after us night after night in Lily Maa. Lahfan for always welcoming us by name and with a great big smile. Maais for keeping our room so spotlessly clean, and Jinaan for our football chats most days.  Food The buffet restaurant is probably one of the most beautiful set-ups I have seen. Eating at Lily Maa in the evening with the table lights and decorations was an absolute pleasure. And the food was delicious.  We also ate at Tamarind. Book an outside table if you can. Once again, the food and service was incredible. You get one visit included within the all-inclusive but we would have paid to eat there again. Unfortunately, we left it too late and it was fully booked for our last couple of nights. We had lunch a few times at Aqva and would highly recommend it. Especially the beef carpaccio. We only ate at Vibes a couple of times as it was the other end of the island and more family based. Thank you though to Peter for looking after us so well when we did.  Snorkeling  Wow. We came here based on the excellent reviews we had read about the amazing house reef and trust me, you will not be disappointed. Absolutely stunning with an abundance of marine life.  This is only the second time we have ever snorkeled but we got to see so many different species of fish it was amazing. We also saw lots of reef sharks, nurse sharks, sting rays, a turtle, and even an octopus (changing colour from a deep purple to a rocky grey, so it could blend in with the surrounding rock and coral). Although the house reef was not to far to swim to from our water willa, you have to mind the tide times as it can be too low to cross the coral. The reef on the lagoon side is a lot easier to access. Within just a few metres you are staring down at the mist incredible drop. Life jackets are available for added peace of mind but to be honest, the buoyancy in the water is so good you should try to enjoy the freedom of swimming without one at least once. Excursions Garden snorkeling. Just a short boat ride away with lots to see and very well organised. We both felt very safe and it really helped boost our confidence for when we ventured out onto the house reef back at the resort by ourselves.  My wife and I would both highly recommend the dolphin excursion. An unforgettable experience seeing these beautiful, playful creatures putting on such an acrobatic show. Definitely worth the cost and you get to expereince the sunset on the way back. Seeing so many dolphins was the number one highlight for my wife! I would also highly recommend the night snorkeling trip. This takes place in the resort. With an expert guide, you snorkel along the house reef and get a totally different perspective of it. Then comes to the most crazy part. You swim underneath the Tamarind restaurant where there are a large number of nurse sharks resting. On the night I went, I was fortunate enough to also witness a number of active nurse and reef sharks just off the jetty. A jaw dropping, heart stopping moment I will never forget. Beach  This was the one area we felt a little let down. The beach is quite narrow compared to what we have experienced elsewhere in the Maldives (Atmosphere Kanifushi) and the sun loungers are understandably allocated to the beach villas. We thought this might be the case when we booked the water villa but had been reassured by the resort in an email exchange prior to arrival, that we would still get the opportunity to enjoy the beach.  That wasn't the case though as when we asked at reception about using the beds outside an empty villa, we were told that wasn't possible and we should use the public beach by vibes or the adult beach by Aqva. Both were very small though and so we chose to leave it. Although I have attached a couple of pictures to show part of the beach, my wife and I would not want this to put you off visiting this amazing resort. The service, the quality of the food, the free flowing champagne and the incredible snorkeling off the house reef make this an absolute must visit destination. We just felt it important to give an honest balanced review and not a one-sided everything is incredible one. Over-all, we certainly feel the resort justifies it's 5 star status and would not rule out going back one day. In fact, we met a number of repeat guests who go back year after year. That is a credit to the hard work and effort put in by the general manager Laurent and all of the staff.
• Blue_Bamboo_Presents (10/5): Best of the Maldives! - Thank you to everyone at Lily Beach for an absolutely fabulous week — as a solo traveller, I genuinely couldn’t fault a single thing! My Lagoon Villa was fantastic, and what a joy to wake up, step onto my deck and watch the sunrise before snorkelling directly from my room. The all-inclusive offering is excellent — food is plentiful with a huge variety on offer, and sometimes the hardest part was simply deciding what to have! I loved that Lily Beach is truly a barefoot island — it’s exactly what I want from a Maldives escape. And while children are welcome at the resort, Aqua is an adults-only space, which I really appreciated as a solo guest — it made sundowners and those magical sunset moments feel wonderfully peaceful. One of the highlights of my trip was the incredible dive team — Ludwig, Svenja, Alessia and Coll made my week truly unforgettable. They are passionate, professional and take such amazing care of their guests. Having dived all over the world, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this resort, and the dive team are a huge part of why. For non-divers, the snorkelling around the island is simply the best I’ve experienced anywhere in the Maldives — pristine corals, plentiful fish, turtles, eagle rays and sharks made every afternoon feel special. The staff across the entire resort were so warm and friendly — nothing was ever too much trouble, and as a solo traveller that attentiveness made such a difference. Special thanks also to the team at Tamarind — my dinner there was a real highlight. Lily Beach, I’ll be back! 🌊

• 322zhux (10/5): Amazing stay - Amazing time at the hotel, special thanks to shah and nada
• kristinsV2551OC (10/5): Great Service - We have been to Maldives prior and stayed at a different resort. The other resort was awesome, however, for my husband‘s birthday this year we wanted to try a new resort. The biggest difference between the 2 was undeniably our butler Kina! He made everything easier! His service, his personality, his accommodating to any and all our requests made this a truly remarkable experience! We wanted for nothing…… Had to do nothing as he handled everything, which gave us the ability to completely relax with no worries! The chefs and food was amazing as well! We did run into some travel issues on our return (none that had to do with the resort) and not only Kina but the staff jumped in to try and help us the best they could to make everything easier. A unforgettable vacation experience!

• 231tell (10/5): BEST VACATION EVERRRRRR - This resort delivers on every front. Whether you are looking for complete relaxation or a full schedule of activities, everything is thoughtfully set up to meet both. We stayed for a week in a sunset villa under the Platinum package, and the experience exceeded expectations. The room was beautiful, with an incredible view and direct access to vibrant coral beds just steps away. I spent hours snorkeling, often spotting reef sharks passing by. The villa also featured a private pool, a comfortable patio, and all the amenities needed for a truly restful stay. A special mention goes to Faisal, our butler, who made the experience exceptional. He was attentive, proactive, and genuinely invested in ensuring we had the best possible stay. From organizing activities to helping us plan our days efficiently, he handled everything seamlessly. Personally, it felt like having a big brother looking out for me throughout the trip — his presence made everything easier and far more enjoyable. Thank you as well to Toppi from housekeeping for maintaining the room to such a high standard throughout our stay. I also completed several dives during the trip, including the house reef, a morning boat dive, and a night dive. Each experience was outstanding. The dive team’s service was impeccable — they managed all logistics so we could focus entirely on the experience. Special thanks to the dive boatmen and instructors Bertrand, Atheef, Svenja, and especially Ludwig, who went out of his way to ensure my night dive was unforgettable. Overall, obviously, I highly recommend this resort. An exceptional experience from start to finish.
• waks2026 (10/5): More than a stay - Private villa, endless ocean, and time that finally slowed down. Simple moments, done right—that’s what made this stay unforgettable. But beyond the service, it was the care. Faisal didn’t just look after the details—he looked after us. What started as service became something more human, more genuine. And that’s what I’ll remember most— not just how well we were taken care of, but the friendship that came with it.
• stephana443 (10/5): Dream Diving Vacation - In late January/early February 2026, we spent ten days at Lily Beach with our two children – our tenth visit, and once again an unforgettable experience. Lily Beach impresses with three outstanding features: its perfect location in South Ari Atoll, close to exciting dive sites; its first-class cuisine; and its exceptionally friendly staff, who always go for the extra-mile to ensure guests of all ages have an unforgettable stay. The villas are furnished in a modern Maldivian style, are very well maintained and undergo continuous renovation. Cleanliness and safety are top priorities throughout the resort, ensured by the large staff of cleaners, gardeners and craftsmen. The restaurants offer varied, high-quality cuisine, both in the main restaurant, Lily Maa, with breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets (featuring a variety of show cooking: fresh fish, grilled and wok dishes, a pizza & pasta station and sushi & sashimi, as well as wonderful dessert creations and a rich selection of cheeses), with à la carte lunch at Vibes (very good) or at AQUA (a slightly more refined menu), right through to dinner at Tamarind (Thai and Indian cuisine) and teppanyaki or fine dining at AQUA. The waiters seem to anticipate your every wish: Peter and Hassan at Vibes and Venus at AQUA are extremely attentive, and Suranga provides excellent wine or champagne recommendations. The Turtles Kids Club, lovingly managed by Anjo, offers a wide range of activities on the beach, by the pool, fishing or with henna tattoos, ensuring the children have a brilliant time whilst parents know they are safe and well looked after at all times. Particularly worth mentioning is the German-speaking Prodivers dive centre, run by a highly motivated team. It offers countless dive sites to suit all preferences and every level of experience. Svenja trained our son to become a certified Junior Open Water Diver, whilst she and Ludwig provided our daughter with unforgettable Bubblemaker experiences. Ludwig guided us parents safely to new, challenging dive sites. Alessia, Coll, Atheef and Muneer ensure exciting, varied dives with plenty of fun and safe conditions thanks to the very well-maintained rental equipment. Conclusion: Lily Beach offers the perfect combination of location, cuisine, service, childcare and diving experiences – we’d love to come back!
• francesca (10/5): Indimenticabile - La struttura è favolosa e il personale la rende ancor più confortevole. La villa sulla spiaggia è comodissima per le famiglie con i bambini, in quanto la spiaggia è direttamente accessibile dalla stanza e si ha l'ombrellone proprio di fronte. Le camere sono dotate di ogni confort, e anche il bagno all'aperto è davvero molto comodo e attrezzato. Il ristorante offre una gran vastità di cibo e diverse cucine, dolci buonissimi! La barriere corallina è raggiungibile direttamente dalla spiaggia senza doversi recare con le imbarcazioni. E' solo un consiglio, aggiungerei al bar della spiaggia qualche snack per rendere ancora più confortevole il momento "aperitivo".
• Robert (9/5): Trotz der kleinen Mankos toll und erholsam ( auch das Wetter war diesmal perfekt) - die allgemeinen Einrichtungen sind nach wie vor sehr gut, Essen und Getränke sind sehr gut, das Personal ist überwiegend freundlich, die angebotenen Ausflüge ok die Beach Villas sind renovierungsbedürftig(Bett, Klimaanlage, Joulosien) die Aufmerksamkeit des Personals im Hauptrestaurant und die Villareinigung war schon einmal besser ( wir waren das 7. mal hier!)
• Vladislava (10/5): -
• Nikoletta (10/5): Egy megvalósult álom - Venus az Aqua bárból, Mohamed a Vibes bárból kiemelkedően tündéri emberek. Imádtam minden percét az ottlétemnek. Már novemberre újra foglaltam egy Beach Villát mert nekem az az érzés hogy ébredés után kilépek és érzem a homokot a lábam alatt egyszerűen felbecsülhetetlen.

• W.M.A. (10/5): Relaxed Atmosphere and High-Quality Dining in a Beautiful Island Setting - We had a wonderful time at Lily Beach Resort. The island is beautiful and offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to completely unwind. The all-inclusive concept is very good, with exceptional food quality, excellent cocktails, and premium champagne. The resort is clearly weil run and the entire team is genuinely kind and attentive, creating a very special feel-good atmosphere. (A special thank you to Bozz from the buffet restaurant, who was exceptionally kind and made our stay even more enjoyable.) The house reef is another highlight, offering excellent opportunities for snorkeling and diving right off the island All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely come back.

• Dmitry (7/5): - Вилла на воде шикарная,просторная,стеклянный пол,бассейн.Рядом с виллой хороший риф.Риф вообще достаточно протяженный и интересный,можно плыть от начала острова до водных вилл около одного часа,множество рыб,скаты и акулы. В отеле есть 4 русскоязычных человека: 2 на ресепшн,1 в главном и ресторане и русскоязычный врач.Это действительно удобно. Хотел бы отменить официанта в главном ресторане Хуссейцна,очень внимательно и хорошо обслуживал нас весь отдых. В целом отель понравился: хороший риф,хороший номер,белый песок,понравилось очень кормление рыб. Но есть нюансы. Очень не понравилась кухня.Еда однообразная и не очень вкусная. За такие деньги,которые стоит отель,еда плохая,как в отеле 3-4 звезды. Я много где был,но ,чтобы на ужин подавали жаренные сосиски.Из мяса постоянно есть только баранина,говяди один вид и через день,свинины вообще ни разу не было,курица была раза 3 за неделю. При этом все это выкладывается на блюдо по 3-4 кусочка,впечатление,что менеджмент отеля скупой.Куча индийских блюд.много вегетарианских блюд и много видов пасты.Паста это же самый дешевый вид еды,это же еда для отелей 3-4 звезды а не для отеля с Платиновым планом. Познакомились с семьей,так нам они сказали,что на ужин поеди только мороженое.потому что остальное либо острое либо не вкусное. Один день на обед был суп Том ян и папайя салат. Это флагманские тайские блюда ( а мы прилетели на Мальдивы из Тайланда). Но так испортить вкус таких простых не сложных блюд не смог бы ни один таец. Я это не смог кушать. И еще: персонал в брах и ресторанах очень разбалованный. Не дашь чаевых,в следующий раз на тебя не будут обращать внимания вообще. Кротко: кухня 3,персонал в барах и ресторанах 4 с минусом.

• georgis886 (10/5): Lily Beach Review - A very beautiful resort and beach. The staff are very friendly. The food is phenomenal and very diverse. I had absolutely made my experience ten times better was the diving crew Coll, Alessia, Ludwig and Svenjia. They were very helpful and great teachers. It was my first time diving and they made it effortless. They are very knowledgeable about the sea life and are always open to have discussions about the fish and other sea animals. I would definitely love to come again. From: George Stoichev
• nguyentT8939LI (10/5): The little paradise - Thi was The best holyday! The weather was perfect Beach was clear and beautiful The staff are helpful. We saw a lot of Sharks
• malgorzataw2026 (10/5): Lily Beach Resort - It was our second trip to this hotel—absolutely wonderful and unforgettable. We highly recommend this place and will definitely return.
• rahulo2026 (10/5): If you are coming to Maldives 🇲🇻 you must come to Lily Beach resort because people are so nice so humble and Respect. - Hello this is Rahul Oraon from INDIA 🇮🇳for thr first time I was in Maldives 🇲🇻 and stayed in Lily beach resort., I loved each and every people over here, special thanks to TIMU Sir for helping in the Snorkeling means a lot for me. See you very Guys ......... Once again Thank you so much 🙏 💓 Johar Namaste to everyone 🙏
• Carlton Palmer (10/5): Amazing - We had not being back to Lily beach for a while and we forgot how much we loved it there The resort is friendly and lively .The staff were fantastic.We will be returning next year The rooms need to be updated
• rohitsR4330XJ (10/5): Beautiful place with very kind staff - I had a really great stay here as a solo traveler. The staff were genuinely kind and made me feel comfortable from day one. The villa was beautiful, clean, and very peaceful — it truly felt luxurious without being over the top. The food was amazing and consistently good, which I really appreciated. Overall, it was a very relaxing experience and I would happily come back again.
• Sandor Istvan (9/5): We liked it a lot, probably will return in early 2027. - Super location with excellent service. The room may need some face lift.
• tracy603 (10/5): Perfect retreat - Another wonderful stay at Lily Beach. This was our 3rd time and it just keeps getting better. Food is amazing, service so good and location outstanding. Such a high standard and quality of the food and service provided by the Lily staff. Special mentions go to Jaleel in LilyMa, Venus and Soppe in Aqua and Aneesh at the beach bar. All of the staff are also lovely. Lily has a personal touch also which we haven't found anywhere else. It will certainly be another visit sometime this year. Congratulations Laurent on providing a wonderful holiday yet again
• 593lucrezias (10/5): A holiday we will cherish forever - We stayed in the Overwater Sunset Villa (villa 403) for 6 nights, and loved it. The view of the sunset was breathtaking. The villa itself was spacious and well designed, with a comfortable bed, a lovely infinity pool, and a bathtub overlooking the ocean which we thoroughly enjoyed. The biggest perk of the Sunset Villa is the personal butler service, and we were lucky to have Jinaan as ours. In less than 24 hours, he understood our preferences perfectly and went above and beyond to make our holiday unforgettable. He handled all our bookings, accompanied us on snorkeling trips, and drove us around when needed. The holiday was to celebrate my 40th and Jinaan arranged for a special final dinner, we arrived to find a decorated table with a card and the dinner was capped off with a little cake and candle with Jinaan and the other staff singing happy birthday which I really appreciated. Jinaan truly elevated our experience with his gentle and attentive manners, we couldn’t have asked for better service. The staff at Lily Beach Resort are very friendly and welcoming, always making us feel at home, from the warm smiles to the great service. Food at this resort is another highlight. The variety is excellent, and every restaurant we tried offered delicious options. I am a cheese lover, and was thrilled with the selection of French cheeses. We also loved the the carpaccio at Aqua Restaurant, it melted in our mouth and was simply delicious. The main buffet restaurant changes its theme daily, offers fresh cook stations, and keeps meals exciting and ensures you never get bored. Finally, the house reef is fantastic, easy to access and full of marine life, making snorkeling a very enjoyable experience. We will cherish forever our holiday at Lily Beach.
• sonya2512 (10/5): Wow what a beautiful place. - Wow this place was magical. We visited for my 40th birthday. The chef’s at Lily Ma (especially during breakfast and dinner) were amazing. We requested certain food and they did not disappoint us. The fruit chef at breakfast was so lovely he was always looking after the kids. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The teppanyaki chef was really lovely she made it an incredible experience. Housekeeping was wonderful as well! We are at another resort in the Maldives at the moment which is lovely but what I have to say is that I can’t believe I could have tattinger and moet as part of the all inclusive package! We can’t have this at the current resort we are at which is disappointing but Lily beach this champagne was on tap!!! Kids had a fab time they loved going to vibes. The staff at vibes was wonderful as well. I would definitely go back!!!!!
• Konrad (10/5): Doskonała obsługa! REWELACJA! Dziękujemy bardzo za pobyt! - Obsługa robi cuda, żeby każdy był bardzo zadowolonym klientem. Szacunek, bo dzięki temu pobyt jest wyjątkowy. Bardzo dobre jedzenie i ogromny wybór. Wieczorne karmienie rekinów było wyjątkowym przeżyciem. Porównując z innymi resortami, w których byłem to plaża nie jest tak piękna. Jedynie jej mamy kawałek spełnia oczekiwania, a pozostała część już nie jest tak doskonała pod względem koloru wody. Pomimo tego, życie podwodne jest tutaj zauważalnie lepsze niż w innych obiektach.
• AnnaT679 (10/5): Lily at long last - Lily was EVERYTHING we had hoped it would be. Lily had been at the top of our short list since we first looked at going to the Maldives, just before COVID hit, so it had been that much of a wait. I had researched the crap out of every All Inclusive resort in the Maldives and Lily always came out on top, even when I again researched earlier this year. Even when I thought I had found a 'potentially' comparable resort, once I got in direct contact with Lily, they just made it easy for me to decide. Despite the awful looking weather forecast leading up to our trip, and the trepidation that it would rain the whole of our 10 days there, we only had 2 overcast days and some rain, other than that plentiful sun and one of my best ever tans lol From the beginning of the Lily experience until the end, Lily was amazing and we were so sad to leave. However, 10 nights was sufficient to become totally relaxed and disconnected and to feel we had been away for much longer. To mix it up, we initially did 4 nights in a Beach Villa so as to enjoy walking straight onto the sand and into the ridiculously beautiful waters, and 6 nights in an Overwater villa. It's easy for us to give Lily 5 stars, or more if I could. I had read tonnes of Lily reviews and we experienced what we expected and more. And it is incredible the number of guests we met (and we met plenty) that just keep coming back to Lily, ever after they have tried and like other Maldives resorts. I'd read about this, but I got to hear it directly. I can guarantee that when back to Maldives, it will be back to Lily. Period. As always for us, no matter how expensive and luxurious a resort is, it is its people/staff that make or break the experience. And Lily's people exceed by far, with many having very long tenure, which I take as a testament to how they supported and how they fell about working for Lily. For the life of me I can't remember everyone's names (I'm crap with names but brilliant with faces lol) BUT I do want to make special mention of the following: Jaleel (who's been at Lily for 31 years!) and who was our host at Lily Maa for breakfast and dinners, always ready with a table for us and always up for a chat and a joke, the loveliest man. Venus @ AQVA (and Tamarind), where we had 9 out 10 lunches, and who is just the loveliest and warmest Philippino lady, professional and always anticipating your needs. Tuppi, a genuinely warm and very tall dude, who always left our villa spotless and was awesome. Then Vaseel, the yuong 18 yo just started at Lily who was on the buggies and cool as a cucumber. And last but not least, the EVER cheeky and jovial Faysal, who did our easy AS check-in and was always there at the resort for anything with needed and was just a quick Whatsapp message away - even sent us a good bye message as we didn't manage to find him before we left on the seaplane. I/we really want to say a genuine THANK YOU to these people in particular, who helped to really make our stay/experience. So to break it down some for those trying to make a decision: Seaplane - We loved the cool/lux feel of the Lily lounge itself and the transfer to it and then to the seaplane and the ride itself. Food and Bev - Being at Lily for 10 nights, we at least never felt bored with the food and felt there was plenty of choice as part of the all inclusive. And whenever you wanted a particular dish made (in my case an authentic Italian carbonara) it was just a matter of asking Juleel who would ask the chef to come and have a chat with him. But on top of that Lily also offers some specialty dinners that you can pay for, such as lobster dinner, tommahawk dinner etc. If anything perhaps Lily should consider including some lobster in the seafood themed dinner at Lily. And with regards to drinks, well what can I say, you have everything you could want, I just don't feel I made enough of a dent LOL Water/reef/snorkelling - Amazing, simply amazing and the variety and richness of marine life. WOW. I mean getting down from your villa and seeing rays, reef sharks etc all the time... Activities - You can do as much as you want during your stay or nothing. I think that the included activities are great as well as many more you can do like scuba, night snorkelling and other paid activities if you want. Entertainment - We felt that with the house band that would play between Vibes and the main Spirit Bar and the games areas @ Vibes it was well catered for then the rest is up to you and whether if a couple you just want to chill or meet others. We're an easy going aussie couple so we met plenty of people and have become friends with some who we hung out with at Lily. Made the experience even better. Resort layout - It's not too big and it's not too small, just right. We easily got a buggy when we needed it (especially since we were at over water villa 319), or hopped someone else's buggy ride or offered others to jump on lol Specials Occasions - We were @ Lily for our 15 year anniversary and we were surprised at dinner or going back to our villa on SO many occasions, as well as with a candle-lit dinner on the sand at Vibes which was booked in for us without any request. I mean guys Awwwwwwww! I could go on, but Ok this is long enough...

• AdventuresTogether8 (10/5): Amazing stay at Lily Beach, deserving of their five star rating. - We had an amazing nine nights at Lily and are so pleased we chose this resort for our Maldives holiday. All the staff were truly exceptional in their hospitality and in making us feel welcome throughout our stay. A special thank you to Shah at reception for his jovial banter and always being ready to help, Peter at Vibes, Suranga at Aqua, and the talented chefs at their stations. The food was varied and delicious, the house reef was enchanting, and the rooms were spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The only negative experience during our stay was with the resort’s dive school, ProDivers. Unfortunately, my experience there was disappointing and left me with the feeling that the focus was more on money than on the guest experience. This stood in stark contrast to the rest of the resort, where every team member went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Sadly, the dive school does not reflect the high standards set by this otherwise outstanding resort.
• Nick (9/5): Overall we were very satisfied with the service and resort offerings and will endeavor to return, especially to dive the - Exceptionally friendly staff, always ready to serve with a smile. Location and Dive Center are all above and beyond. 5 star service at its best 😁 Although Lily Maa restaurant claims not to reserve tables for guests, specifically evenings, we found this not to to be case, and was difficult over the first few dinners to find a suitable table due to all the hot spots being reserved. This we found a big negative in comparison to other resorts visited in the Maldives. Dive Boat, not owned by the Prodivers, needs to have roll down side screens to better protect passengers against rough seas and rain storms.

• Thierry (9/5): Un resort que nous recommandons sans hésitation pour la qualité de l’ensemble. - Nous recommandons vivement Lily Beach Resort & Spa aux Maldives pour la qualité de son service et de ses prestations. Monsieur Arshad et Nada ont été très à l’écoute de nos attentes, réactifs et disponibles tout au long du séjour. Leur implication a largement contribué à rendre notre expérience agréable et fluide. Le personnel du resort est particulièrement souriant, attentionné et professionnel. La restauration était de très bonne qualité, avec un choix varié et constant durant le séjour. Nous conseillons tout particulièrement la Beach Suite avec piscine privée, qui offre un excellent niveau de confort, beaucoup d’intimité et un cadre vraiment agréable. Un resort que nous recommandons sans hésitation pour un séjour aux Maldives. Linda & Thierry et Jad
• laurapro8392 (10/5): Amazing stay and best divecenter - My stay at Lily Beach was really nice, and I had a great time. The resort is excellent, clean, and the staff is extremely friendly. The restaurants are outstanding and offer very high-quality food. At the Lily Maa restaurant, I had a great waiter, Jaleel, who always made sure that I was having a wonderful time. The resort also has a dive shop that is very well managed and has an amazing staff. Alessia, Coll, Svenja, Ludwig, Muneer, and Ateef are all very friendly and highly competent, offering an incredible diving experience. A special thank you as well to the boat crews of Rasthaa and Imath that support the dive center: Adam, Ismail (and I unfortunately forgot the name of the third crew member) from Imath, and Ismail, Abdullah, and Kibria from Rasthaa

• jeremiahs959 (10/5): The best tropical resort I’ve ever experienced - I traveled to Lily Beach Resort with my girlfriend in December 2025. We stayed for 6 nights and have had the most incredible experience. Between the super friendly staff who we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know, the epic accommodations which photos can’t do justice and the buffet that raises the bar for the term “buffet”. I just can’t say enough about my experience here. I’ve visited dozens of countries and stayed at many resorts around the world, but never had such a positive experience as here at Lily Beach. Picking a resort for our first big trip together, my girlfriend and I spent many weeks reading reviews and searching for deals. We picked Lily based on the many detailed reviews and also the 3rd party recommendations from divers networks. After deciding on Lily, we put down our deposit and started planning. Over the next few months, the support staff was always available to answer our many questions. We felt very supported while we anxiously awaited our big trip together. But the cream on the cake was the Lily Beach Prodivers team. My partner and I had the privilege to dive with Coll, and even completed our advanced open water certification course while exploring the crystal clear waters and incredible biodiversity that surrounds this beautiful island. Coll went above and beyond to ensure that not only were we learning the skills we needed but that we felt safe and secure doing it. He was supportive, friendly, and over the course of several epic days of diving we created a friendship that made our experience all the more memorable. The whole dive team was fantastic. They were patient and curious, clear and confident. We’d originally planned on doing just part of our Advanced Open Water certification at Lily, but after diving a couple dives with Coll, we decided to complete our whole certification here. Thanks to their excellent instruction, I’m now hooked on diving and can’t wait to continue diving around the world with my partner for many years to come. Thank you for your patience, excellent instruction and accommodation in helping us complete our course during our short stay here! Also, thank you for looking out for me and locking up my underwater camera when I missed it after a dive! My girlfriend and I can’t wait to dive with you again! As to the food…. The chefs behind the buffet excited us at every meal! We frequently visited the buffet before opening to scout out the multitudes of options. The menu was ever changing, the variety of incredible foods was completely over the top. We found new incredible fruits we didn’t know existed, the poached eggs, the many fresh honeys, the cheese bar (be sure to try the truffle honey with the Tete de Moine cheese!). The fresh donuts, the new soups every day, the breakfast chefs, the fish chef, the fresh juice chef, the sushi chef, oh and did I mention the desserts?? I don’t even like desserts, but I could rarely resist sampling a small portion of one or two of the many dozens of options. The desserts changed daily along with the rest of the options. While there are many fun options mentioned in other reviews about kids foods like ice cream bars and fluffy pancakes, not nearly enough was posted about the epic adult food options. I’ve never seen a buffet like this one… I hope other resorts take note! Most restaurants at all inclusive resorts have pretty stagnant menus, relying on visitors to focus on the quantity over the quality… but Lily has reset the bar here. They’ve put so much care and attention into their resort, I can’t wait to come back and visit again soon! Even the on site doctor was fantastic! With her own private office, conveniently located near the central hub, she helped us with several on site personal support that was above and beyond our expectations. The only complaint we had was the smoking. Since there were no designated smoking areas we unfortunately had to leave the bar or pool areas several times due to guests smoking in our area. It wasn’t anything that ruined our vacation, but just a suggestion to look at designated smoking bars or areas that would allow non smoking guests to enjoy the spaces especially for those guests with health or other sensitivities to smoke
• WalesLynn (10/5): Another fabulous time at Lily Beach - We got back a week ago and would like to echo the other reviews about Lily, this was our 3rd time at the resort and our first time in December, the weather was perfect with light winds and long sunny days. There are stand out features on this resort, the beauty of the island, its people, the F&B package and the diving all make this perfect for us as a couple, the meals at all the restaurants were first class and nothing is ever too much in whatever you ask for, whether its in Lily Maa, Tamarinds Vibes or Aqva we always found the menus and offerings more than enough choice for the 10 days we spent there. We would like to give a big thanks to Peter at Vibes, the team at Aqva, Venus at Tamarind and Jaleel and the chefs at Lily Maa who always went over and above to make our stay one we'll remember fondly, until the next time. I did 8 dives with the Prodive team and even though the dive sites around the area are world class, its the friendliness and professionalism of Coll, Alisha, Ludo and Sevinja that made my experience the best ive had in the 30+ times ive been diving on different islands in the Maldives and would like to say a big thank you for welcoming me as a guest and making me feel like a friend rather than a customer. The island has a strong management team who are customer focused, they continually ask for feedback and what they can do to enhance your stay so a big thanks to sharriff and his team. We have planned to come back in June and will count down the days over the winter months. Lynn & Diane
• 759albertoh (10/5): Dream stay - Beautiful cabin on the sea and by coral reel with plenty of natural wild life. Staff very friendly. Service outstanding. A real must if you visit this heaven on Earth called Maldives.

• TeresaW589 (10/5): Where Paradise Meets Genuine Hospitality - I recently spent three nights with my Mom at Lily Beach Resort & Spa, and what will stay with me most is the warmth and care of the people there. The over water villa was stunning, with the ocean right at my doorstep, but it was the staff who made the experience feel so special. Every smile, every thoughtful gesture, and the way they seemed genuinely invested in making my stay comfortable left a lasting impression. The location on Ari Atoll is breathtaking, and the house reef is alive with coral and fish. Exploring it felt safe and memorable thanks to Moosa, the snorkeling guide, whose patience and attentiveness gave me the confidence to enjoy the underwater world fully. It wasn’t just a holiday in paradise—it felt like being welcomed into a place where kindness and hospitality are part of the natural beauty.
• Pierre (10/5): A great resort to enjoy diving, food and relax - The care they have for first time guests but also the additional perks you get when coming back. The food is amazing, the reef is beautiful.
• 497rainerr (10/5): An Exceptional Stay with Outstanding Service, Dining, and Diving at Lily Beach Resort - We stayed at Lily Beach Resort in the Maldives for almost two weeks, and the experience was consistently positive in every aspect. The island itself is beautiful and extremely well maintained. The entire atmosphere feels relaxed, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. We spent most of our time at the Aqua area, which offers a fantastic pool and an excellent view. It quickly became our favorite place to relax during the day. The food was outstanding throughout our stay. Quality, variety, and presentation were consistently at a very high level. Dining never became repetitive. The restaurant service deserves special recognition, especially Longey. He was an exceptional waiter: attentive, professional, and genuinely caring. We felt very well taken care of at all times. Service across the entire island was excellent. The waiters and staff everywhere were friendly, attentive, and consistently helpful. The overall level of hospitality was remarkably high, and every interaction felt sincere and warm. The rooms are slightly dated in terms of design and furnishings, but they are clean, functional, and comfortable. While not modern, they are still absolutely fine and did not detract from the overall experience. Diving with Prodivers, which is part of Lily Beach Resort, was one of the highlights of our stay. The organization, safety standards, and professionalism were outstanding. Special thanks to Ludwig, Alessia, Coll, and Svenja. We have never experienced a dive center of this quality before. The team operates seamlessly, creates a calm and safe environment, and clearly works at an exceptional level. We always felt safe, well guided, and very well looked after.
• 272simon (10/5): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding experience – diving & service - We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Lilly Beach Resort, and one of the highlights was clearly the diving with ProDivers. The entire ProDivers team impressed us with an exceptional level of professionalism, safety and organization. The dive planning, briefings and overall safety standards were outstanding – honestly among the best we have ever experienced, and we have done a lot of diving in many places around the world. Special thanks to Alessia, Svenja, Coll and Ludwig – your service, calm professionalism and passion for diving made every single dive a pleasure and gave us total confidence in the water. On the dive boat, Ismail stood out in particular. He was always there to help, attentive, friendly and incredibly supportive – exactly the kind of service that makes a difference. We also want to mention the fantastic restaurant service. At Lillima, our waiter Longey was amazing – very friendly, funny, energetic and genuinely caring. At Acqua, Jeemon was an outstanding waiter as well – attentive, professional and incredibly kind. In general, all staff members across the resort were helpful, warm and professional, making us feel welcome at all times. The combination of Lilly Beach Resort, the spectacular dive sites, and especially the outstanding ProDivers team makes this place truly special. We will definitely come back – and we highly recommend Lilly Beach and ProDivers to anyone looking for world-class diving with top-level safety and service. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
• mukaidaisiy (10/5): The best choice! Amazing experience - I am so grateful to have this beautiful honeymoon experience with my husband at lily beach. Everything is very well organized. Nada welcomed us with so tasty welcome drinks since then everything was beyond my expectations. The views were spectacular, snorkelling was great, food options are also great. We loved spending time in vibes, so much activities. Live music, karaoke were fun too. We had an amazing experience with the tennis court too, the coach was super good, highly recommend people who want to improve their tennis skills. Overall glad we made this decision and cannot wait to come back with our family again.

• Tropicstraveller_11 (10/5): an absolute must for ocean lovers - We arrived at Lily Beach via fixed-wing aircraft followed by a 30-minute speedboat transfer to the island.. The Lily Beach team met us on arrival, handled the domestic transfer smoothly, and escorted us to the lounge boarding area, making the process completely stress-free. Our first impression set the tone immediately. The reception area has a sand floor, reinforcing the island’s relaxed, barefoot-luxury vibe—sandals or bare feet are the norm. We were welcomed with a refreshing fruit slushie, followed by champagne. As an all-inclusive resort, Lily Beach offers an impressive selection of wines, champagne (including Taittinger and Moët), and premium spirits, all available across the island. The island itself is compact—around 600 metres long, plus overwater jetties—making it easy to walk anywhere within minutes. Our first lunch at Lily Maa exceeded expectations, with excellent quality and variety. Fresh fish and tropical fruit featured prominently, and everything was beautifully prepared. Standing on the jetty and looking down into the reef was truly breathtaking. There’s a dramatic drop-off right at the jetty edge, with sharks and an incredible variety of marine life visible below. Having stayed at four other Maldivian resorts and completed multiple liveaboards, the underwater scenery here still managed to blow us away. After lunch, we checked into our villa. The minibar is restocked daily and includes nuts, chips, beer, soft drinks, and one bottle each of red and white wine. Dinner at Lily Maa was again outstanding, followed by the night-time shark feeding at the jetty. Watching stingrays, reef sharks, and nurse sharks gather in large numbers was spectacular—though slightly intimidating given we had already booked a night dive for the following evening. Aqva is another excellent dining option, offering delicious lunches, creative cocktails, and a stunning adults-only infinity pool. Unsurprisingly, this was a popular spot for Instagram photos. There’s also a separate family-friendly area with pools, table tennis, and pool tables. Snorkelling at Lily Beach is exceptional. Both sides of the island feature sheer drop-offs on the outer reef, and marine life is abundant. We recommend checking the current direction and drifting with it for an effortless snorkel. During our stay we encountered rays, multiple shark species, and even a large pod of dolphins swimming past the reef. Care should be taken not to swim beyond the last buoys, as currents can become strong—during our visit, a couple had to be rescued by jet ski after drifting too far. While the coral garden snorkelling is worth doing for variety, we preferred the house reef around the island. The beaches in front of the villas are clean and largely weed-free, making swimming easy. However, the sand does contain coral fragments, so water shoes or sandals are recommended. Our complimentary dinner at Tamarind was a highlight. The Thai-inspired menu delivered bold, authentic flavours and was a genuine taste explosion. Our only minor criticism relates to the villa bathroom design. The rear half is sandy, and the clothesline is positioned across shrubbery, making it awkward to use without stepping into sand. If clothes were dropped, they inevitably picked up sand, which was then tracked into the shower area. Replacing the sand with larger river stones would greatly improve functionality. While there was a water bowl on the rear verandah, we requested an additional one at the front entrance to minimise sand being brought inside. We recommend booking all complimentary excursions as early as possible, as weather-related cancellations meant we were unable to use every activity included in our package. On departure, there was an incorrect domestic flight time scheduled for our return. Management handled the situation exceptionally well—truly 10 out of 10 service. As is standard with Maldivian domestic flights, final departure times are only confirmed around 8pm the night before. Overall, thanks to the extraordinary snorkelling, warm and attentive staff, relaxed atmosphere, and seamless support throughout our journey, Lily Beach ranks among the best islands we’ve visited. It offers excellent value as a mid-range Maldivian resort and is an absolute must for ocean lovers. We did not want to leave and would like to visit again one day.
• FriedelH2018 (10/5): Visit to a dream of an island on an unspoiled coral reef - Trip to Lily Beach, Maldives My wife and I visited Lily Beach in November 2025. An outstanding experience, not only for us – we met quite a number of return guests from all over the world. Three times daily a meticulously presented buffet awaits you in a casual-elegant setting, either on the deck or on fine beach sand, a peaceful, friendly atmosphere. Preparation and presentation of the food was very pleasing to the eye and the tongue. A few high-lights in the large selection of daily delicacies: · Mohammed is the experienced chef at the fish grill, convincingly grilling a variety of fresh fish from local waters – pleasantly seasoning each hand-picked fillet and serving it at the diner´s table. · Kamal is a friendly chef, offering an impressive selection of pasta and pizza, Mediterranean fare at its best. He bakes and cooks a tasty meal in a jiffy before the guests eyes. Returned for more every day. · Our two waiters, Hassan and Jeyd, both alert and friendly, always ready for an informed chat with the guests, knowledgeable on island life, food and drink, activities, a pleasure to be served by them. · Impressive to a high extent the list of wines, even champagne freely to be ordered. The bar staff delivers with excellence a great variety of cocktail drinks. It goes without saying, the Prodiver´s Dive Team around Ludwig and Svenja is a highly motivated, professional unit - going out of their way to offer the best dives you can imagine. In spite of being fully booked, the island never gave the impression of being crowded. Very clever accommodation arrangement, and more than ample space for dining, no matter what the weather. Thank God for such an island, where just by snorkelling you can witness an unbelievably rich diversity of oceanic life, day and night! From whale sharks to nudibranch – and a thousand shapes, colours and sizes in between! And highly intact coral reefs… Bored? Not once, I hardly had time to hide in a swing chair hidden under palm trees, to read a book. This island is excellently managed – a large pearl in the eye of an objective beholder.
• 936dorisf (10/5): Excellent resort with excellent customer service creating a lifetime sweet memory. - This is an excellent resort with excellent facilities, customer service and everything else you can ask for in a leisure trip. We highly recommend this resort to anyone planning for a journey in Maldives. Worthy to lay down more details: Butler service. Our butler, Mode, is excellent in delivering superb customer experience. We started the journey with him greeting us right upon arrival, and ended very well with him giving us our last buggy ride of the journey. He knows everything at the resort inside out. Whatever we asked about or requested for a booking, he would help sort it out . He takes care of our schedules, reminded us when to go for what activity. He remembers all our preferences, and delivers what we want. We had total peace of mind, with Mode organizing for us. He is a planner, an organizer, and most importantly a superb customer experience creator. Thank you, Mode! Meals- 4 restaurants, and to call out the Tamarind restaurant: Stunning view at the outside seating. Watching marine life passing by just beneath your table. Indian and thai cuisine curated with a wide spectrum of choice. A great way to relax after your exciting water activities. Diving- All staff are very friendly, professional, paid attention to details to see for everyone's needs. They went for extra miles to ensure your experience was great. They treated customers as their friends and took very good care of my family. A wonderful excursion and my family went for 3 times! Yoga (complimentary) Master Roop is excellent at what he does and teaches. I m so so so thrilled and inspired by not only his yoga skills taught in the lesson, but also very much inspired by his words of wisdom about life and health. So much so that i jotted them all down. Thank you, master Roop! Will always come back! Highly recommend to all! You would definitely get something from it! Tai chi lesson (complimentary) This is a complimentary activity that you shall consider too. The same master for yoga as well as for this Tai Chi exercise. Master Roop is all you need to learn from yoga to tai chi, and many things more including music! Here standing on the fine sand, you are making tai chi movements with a focus on breathing and stretching. 'Take care of your body, and your body will take care of you!' Is life changing wisdom. Thank you, Roop! 'Wow snorkeling with sharks ' experience (a paid activity): This is really a super WOW WOW experience for me and my family. My family is cert. diver and this snorkeling surely they can handle. But for me, someone not so much into water sports , the boat crew really made it possible for me! I am so thrilled ! Nurse sharks are just all around me, and they simply are swimming past me! This is so surreal! An unbeatable experience and the memory is forever! Highly recommended. Particularly, the crew men created excellent customer experience, enabling me to have lifetime memorable experience with the sharks all around me! A big thank you for a job super well done! It meant a lot to me! They took care of me and my family and are very skilful and knowledgeable with marine life. THANK YOU! Sunset cruise: This is relatively the quieter activity amongst all others. Yet, it is a great moment just to appreciate the nature and how a day turns into rest. Together with a champagne in hand, you got everything you need to just enjoy the setting sun. One of the included (for choice) activity with Platinum plan. Highly recommended.
• Q4527IIfernandod (10/5): Great scuba experience with Prodivers - We first dove outside of our country with Prodivers and it was an amazing experience. As newbies we’ve just tried the housereef and Noo Giri (easiest dive boat). Biodiversity is wonderful and the places astonishing. Our instructor, Alessia is so kind, has a lot of patience and make everything so natural. The full team (Svenja, Ludwig and Coll) is otherwise too cool. Thanks everybody for such a good time 😍

• janedZ8973MQ (10/5): Wonderful anniversary celebration with Lily - I choose lily beach to stay for the 5 nights to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, the service exceeded our expectations. Already looking for our next visit.
• _P4099HY (10/5): In love with Maldives - We stayed at Lily Beach with friends and had an excellent experience. The service was great, the food in the restaurants was delicious, and the bars offered many amazing cocktails. I would especially like to thank Zukhra, Maria, and Faisal for their help — they were incredibly supportive with a few questions we had, and we truly appreciated their assistance! 😍😍 The stay itself was wonderful: the rooms were clean and beautiful, the ocean was crystal clear and absolutely stunning. We also really enjoyed the Sunset Fishing — an unforgettable experience. Overall, it was a fantastic holiday, and we were very happy with everything.
• Ohris61 (10/5): A five star experience at Lily Beach Resort - This is my first review on Tripadvisor and I've been inspired to write it by the sheer excellence of the experience my wife and I have enjoyed this week. We've previously stayed on the neighbouring Island, Vilamendhoo, but have become increasingly annoyed by the awful quality of their drinks package, so now we've found Lily Beach we are not going elsewhere, in fact I'm in the middle of booking a return for next December. I'm a scuba diver and my wife snorkels, so the primary interest for us in booking a resort is the quality of the house reef and the quality of the diving and the dive centre. 1. Diving and snorkeling review I'm now at 250+ dives and have experienced the full spectrum of dive shop quality around the world, from dangerous to very good, but the Prodivers team here at Lily Beach are the best team I've ever dived with. The whole team, Dive Instructors Coll, Ludo, Alessia and Svenja, and the boat crew Atheef and Muneer are absolutely first class. Extremely helpful, friendly, engaging, informative, and safety conscious without being overbearing, they just want you to have an stress-free dive experience and that is exactly what you get. Perfect for divers of all levels of experience. They also have that important ingredient when diving- luck - on each of my nine dives I saw something truly memorable and thankfully I have those memories stored on camera. We've seen numerous sharks, a giant moray eel creeping and crawling all over a stingray resting on the bottom, tuna, jacks, nudibranch, octopus, swam along with massive schools of batfish and yellow snapper, it's endless. The dive sites have healthy corals and are alive with fish. My final two dives yesterday, at Kuda Rah and Noo Giri were amongst the very best I've ever had. Absolutely top class. The house reefs are also in excellent condition and offer up a lot of what I've mentioned above. Reef sharks and eagle rays are a common sight along with hundreds of species of reef fish large and small. By common agreement the best stretch of reef is from the dive centre out to the water villas, but it's all good. Underneath the jetty by the dive centre is a cave in which two resident nurse sharks sleep in the daytime, I've also just seen an almost white eagle ray and a giant moray out swimming amongst the corals. Excellent. 2. Accommodation We are staying in Lagoon Villa 209 which is fairly central on the island and has direct access to the sea and a reef 20m away. The bed looks out across the ocean to Vilamendhoo island on the horizon. The bed and pillows are very comfortable, toiletries are from the White Company, there's a well stocked mini-bar and it's all very comfortable. When we return next year with our daughter and family we are going to book beach villas on the other side of the island, as this will be more suitable for a toddler. The beach is beautiful and has a long stretch of reef which you can snorkel. 3. Food and beverage package This is our sixth trip to the Maldives. The alcoholic drinks package is by some margin the best we have encountered - Taittenger and Moet champagnes plus a very wide selection of excellent wines, premium spirits brands and great beers. The quality of the food, and the food choice are also first rate. The Indian food is as good as I've had in five star hotels in Mumbai and Delhi, and I had a cottage pie that would give the one at The Ivy a run for its money. Most of the dining is based around the Lily Maa main restaurant, but lunches at Vibes Bar, and Aqua, where presentation is of top restaurant quality are also very good. The 'exclusive' restaurant included in the package (for stays of Seven or more nights, I think) is Tamarind which serves Thai and Indian food, again of a high standard with a good choice of dishes. 4. Service I've not seen a miserable-looking member of staff all week! Everyone we've engaged with is cheery, happy and appears motivated to do a great job. Service is fast and nothing is too much bother. I've spoken with a number of the staff about their previous experiences at different resorts and they have all said Lily Beach is one of the very best places they've worked. Some of the excellent team who've served us are Suranga and Jemmon in Aqua Bar and Tamarind, Soalih in the main restaurant, Sena and Tharanga and the rest of then guys in the Spirit Bar, and Jalal who cleaned our sunglasses by the pool at Aqua Bar. 5. Overall review. We've spoken with a number of other guests and have been surprised and impressed by the sheer number of people who return here year after year. With the Maldives there's always the lure and attraction of trying somewhere new, but along with that comes the potential for disappointment that some aspect of what you are looking for will not be up to scratch. Lily Beach sits on a beautiful island full of mature trees, plants, shrubs and vegetation and is a 5/5 for everything we look for in an Indian Island holiday. It probably would be good to have more choice for evening dining, but that's a minor quibble and overall I really can't fault it. I already can't wait to come back next December.
• pleikauf (10/5): One of the best places to be - Lily Beach shines by it's excellent snorkeling possibilities right at your doorstep and the competent and friendly staff (very little fluctuation over the years). As long term repeaters we are not going anywhere else in the near future!

• joergh821 (10/5): A magical Stay in Paradise!🥰☀️🏝️ - Lily Beach Resort has become our absolute favourite destination in the Maldives. This was our fourth stay at Lily Beach and our second visit this year, after an amazing trip in January. We keep returning for one reason: the consistently exceptional experience — from the villas, to the food, to the world-class diving with Prodivers. We stayed in a Water Villa, and the location could not be better. The design of the villa is excellent and offers everything we love about Lily Beach: ​•​Direct access to the ocean for a refreshing swim ​•​An outdoor rinse and shower area — always a favourite ​•​A private pool with stunning views, perfect for relaxing between dives A very special part of our stay is always Waheed, who has been our villa host for all four visits. He is truly the best: thoughtful, kind, and incredibly attentive. Our room was always kept spotless, and he surprised us with beautiful bed decorations for our diving milestones and special occasions. He even came early in the morning to say goodbye. We value his service — and his friendship — very highly. The food at Lily Beach continues to impress us. Even though Lily Maa is a buffet restaurant, the chefs are happy to prepare custom dishes such as fresh pasta, sushi, or even special fruit platters with dragonfruit and watermelon. We always feel very well cared for. A special thank-you to Alin, our main server at Lily Maa. We have had him during all of our stays, and he is always attentive, friendly, and ready with wonderful service. He makes every meal enjoyable and remembers all our orders. We deeply appreciate his dedication and warmth. We also loved our lunches at Aqua Restaurant & Bar, which has a beautiful setting by the pool and ocean with à la carte dishes. Saeed, who has also taken care of us during all our visits, is exceptional. He knows exactly what we like, anticipates our needs, and always makes sure our meals are perfectly timed — especially important when we need to finish lunch quickly before heading out for our next dive. The diving with Prodivers is the main reason we first came to Lily Beach, and it remains the highlight of every stay. We very much appreciate the expertise and professionalism of the entire dive team. Our primary guide for the week, Ludwig, tailored our dives perfectly to ensure we had the best possible experience and our wishes go fulfilled. His knowledge of the sites and marine life made every dive exciting, safe, and full of wonderful encounters. We also had epic dives with Atheef and Svenja, enjoying the swirling schools of anchovies, which left us speechless and also dove with Coll, Alessia, Muneer — all of whom contributed to an amazing week underwater. Their enthusiasm, guidance, and care made every dive memorable. A special mention goes to the boat crew, Captain Naeem and Ismail, who ensured every trip ran smoothly and with a lot of fun. They took excellent care of all our dive needs on board, making the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. All in all, this was another amazing holiday at Lily Beach and with Prodivers. It is rare to find a place that consistently exceeds expectations year after year, but Lily Beach continues to do exactly that. The beautiful villas, the exceptional food, the warm and dedicated staff, and the world-class diving are why we keep coming back. We are already looking forward to our next visit - which will be in March 2026!!
