Lily Beach Resort And Spa – Maldives
Featuring a total of 119 villas, including 40 overwater villas and 16 more partially over-hanging the lagoon, the Lily Beach Resort And Spa is a popular 5-star private-island resort that specializes in all-inclusive food and drink packages. The Deluxe Water Villas each come complete with a private Jacuzzi pool, and the Sunset Water Suites include an even larger pool along with private butler service.
The setting and the house reef within the lagoon are ideal, and perfect for a honeymoon or other romantic getaway. There are also family activities and facilities, so those coming in groups should also find themselves more than satisfied with the offerings.

What the reviews say
Reviews of the Lily Beach Resort And Spa are generally very positive, especially for those who stayed in the water villas. Those who stayed in the lagoon villas seem a bit less impressed, and those who stayed in the beach villas even less so, though relatively speaking this is still a very popular resort with many return visitors. The key, it seems, is to spring for a water villa for the best impression.
Considering this is an all-inclusive resort with one main restaurant, the reviews for the food are quite good, even for those who were on longer stays. The house reef and water sports get very high grades as well, so this appears to be an ideal resort for those looking for an all-inclusive in particular.
Getting there
To reach the Lily Beach Resort and Spa you’ll first fly to Malé International Airport. From there you’ll be greeted by resort staff and helped aboard a sea plane for the 25-minute flight to Fesdu Island and the hotel itself.
