The Maldives is comprised of around 1,200 islands – and you can experience a stay on one of its best at Lily Beach Resort & Spa, located in the Alifu Dhaalu Atoll. Surrounded by iridescent waters that stretch as far as the eye can see and encircled by pristine sands, you’ll feel worlds away from the everyday. Soak up the warm tropical climate and make the most of your stay by hopping around nearby islands, snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters or sinking into pure relaxation mode alongside the resort’s sparkling infinity pool.

It is a 30-minute domestic flight from Velana International Airport (MLE) to Maamigili Villa International Airport (VAM) and then a 35–45-minute speedboat trip to Lily Beach Resort & Spa. Roundtrip domestic flights and speedboat transfers are included in your package.
