Beautiful well maintained resort. The staff were friendly at every interaction. The buffet was great, and the drinks, cocktail and wine selection was extensive (Must try the Espresso Martini!). The app makes coordinating everything easy, and shows all of the options across the resort which made it very easy to track bookings and decide what to do. There are additional excursions, spa treatments and dinner options that are payable as an extra charge to the all inclusive

Another guest was able to charge their Spa treatment to our room. We were able to see it in our app and the staff removed it after we let them know. A pincode/passphrase to make additional charges might avoid this, given most is covered by all-inclusive

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.

Nothing - it was all perfect

Lily Beach is perfection! The island is breathtakingly beautiful and the resort is barefoot beach casual meets exquisite luxury. The views, the infinity pool, the service, the food, the house reef -everything is superb.

Our trip at Lily Beach was extraordinary. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The water villa was spacious and had wonderful access to the ocean. Housekeeping always kept the room pristine at all times. Lily Maa restaurant was always delicious. The breakfast buffet was especially good. I've never had a breakfast buffet be so international. Everyone will find what they are looking for. The staff was amazing and very helpful. A special shout out to Moosa, who was extremely helpful during the excursions and made our trip unforgettable. The absolute best thing about the resort is the house reef. It was extraordinary. The variety of sea life is mind-blowing. It was the best reef we have seen in Maldives. We will be coming back soon.

The only hiccup we had during our stay happened on our last day. Our flight out of Male was at 8pm, which meant that we had to take the last seaplane off the island at 4pm. However, as check out is at noon, we no longer had access to our premium plan (lunch, amenities or other food and drinks) during the 4 hour wait. We had to wait without lunch with nothing to do at the reception for 4 hours. It was a shame to finish our wonderful stay with that unpleasant surprise. I would like to ask hotel management to reconsider access to food and drinks for their guests if they are to leave after check-out. As it is not always possible to ensure earlier departing flights. Or at the least offer an earlier sea plane time to Male.

Everything was great, the location, the staff, the room, the food, we really had a great time at Lily.

We left my husband's pullover on the sunbed in front of our villa and called the hotel as soon as we arrived at Male with the seaplane. They never called us back, although promised to check it and give us a call after. I had to reach out to them via different platforms (whatsapp, booking etc) asking if they have found it. They said no, which is obviously hard to believe. I also offered to pay for the shipping cost when sending this back to us, but they just did not really care to spend any effort on it. This is just a nuance probably, but I would expect a bit more support from a 5 star hotel.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Lily Beach Resort, despite encountering some rain during three of our seven days. Our beach villa provided excellent value for money, especially given that we visited during peak season. The service throughout our stay was nothing short of excellent; we truly felt special and well-cared for at all times. A highlight for us was the Aqua Bar, which offers a delightful adults-only à la carte lunch. Our waiter, Suranga, provided outstanding service, and the selection of food and drinks was impressive. Additionally, the Spirit Bar, located at the reception, featured a fantastic collection of aged whiskeys and French champagnes, all included in our all-inclusive package. Each evening, we enjoyed live entertainment there, creating a lovely atmosphere for relaxation after dinner. We were also impressed by the buffet restaurant, Lily Maa, which offered themed dinners each night. As avid fish lovers, we particularly appreciated the dedicated "fish market" booth, showcasing an array of fresh fish options to choose from each evening. The house reef was another highlight of our stay, teeming with vibrant marine life and colorful corals, making for memorable snorkeling experiences. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to General Manager Mr. Laurent Driole for his warm welcome upon our arrival and his respectful attention throughout our visit. We look forward to returning to this exceptional resort in the future!

This was our first time to Lily Beach and we loved it. We had booked a beach villa but upgraded after two nights to a beach suite with pool and it made a huge difference. The beach villas are quite dark, small, and old, whereas the beach suite is beautiful, big, and full of light. The house reef is really good and very close to the beach. The food is absolutely amazing. We went on a snorkeling excursion and saw both mantas and a whale shark. One touch that we especially liked was that the island manager and all senior staff were very visible, walking around every day to chat with guests. They were always smiling and open for feedback.

We loved this island and want to come back some day. One suggestion to perhaps stand out from the other islands would be to have a real barista and serve really nice coffee.

Loved all of the restaurants. The food was outstanding. The staff really made us feel special and attended to our every request. Nurai and Riza made our Anniversary so special with the candlelight dinner on the sand and the room decorations. All of the staff made us feel very welcome. Vacation of dreams!

Only improvement we can think of is an all weather wicker couch added to the room for seating that could be used indoors or outdoors.

Food

snorkeling equipment bad.

From the very moment you step into the Maldives, Lily Resort takes hospitality to a whole new level. Even before arrival, the hotel reaches out to arrange transfers, ensuring a seamless start to your vacation. While we initially opted for a domestic flight and speedboat (not recommended, as you lose half a day), our return by seaplane was nothing short of perfection—quick, luxurious, and topped off with a VIP car greeting at the airport. Pure bliss! From the second you land, you are treated like royalty. Greeted by the general manager, guest relations team, personal butler, and even a live music orchestra, you instantly realize you’ve arrived in paradise. The attention to detail is impeccable—your butler takes care of everything, from a buggy tour of the island to offering a refreshing cocktail and cooling face towel after your journey.
