Lily Beach Resort & Spa has once again taken centre stage on the international hospitality scene, earning the title of Maldives’ Leading All-Inclusive Resort 2025 at the prestigious World Travel Awards.

Situated in the heart of South Ari Atoll, the resort enjoys an enviable location with direct access to the South Ari Marine Protected Area (SAMPA), one of the world’s prime destinations for whale shark encounters. Guests staying at Lily Beach can experience exceptional snorkelling and diving, with the island’s vibrant 360° house reef offering abundant marine life just steps from their villas.

Adding to its culinary prestige, Lily Beach is also a Wine Spectator Award 2024 winner, a testament to the resort’s impressive wine cellar, which houses over 80 premium labels sourced from globally renowned vineyards. Guests can also indulge in unlimited cocktails, premium spirits, champagnes, and specialty coffees, served at Vibes Bar and AQVA Bar throughout the day.
