Hotels with Spa in Machchafushi, South Ari Atoll

"My wife and I spent 12 wonderful days at the Vilamendhoo Island Resort in Maldives. Our original booking was an Adjoining Beach Villa. Meanwhile, as a generous birthday present our accommodation was upgraded to the top-notch overwater villa with jacuzzi. The location and amenities of the unit (#329) were fantastic and we enjoyed every minute of our stay! The house reef was amazing! Turtles, stingrays, spotted eagle rays, eels, all kind of beautiful corals and fish were surrounding us each time we snorkeled. All the stuff of the resort were extremely accommodating and very helpful. We always enjoyed delicious food and excellent service in Ahima restaurant. Awsom - our waiter, was incredibly pleasant and attentive. We would highly recommend the Vilamendhoo resort and look forward coming back in the future! "

"We had an amazing time on this beautiful island. The place is amazing but the staff really make it stand out. Everyone is so friendly and so good with the children. The wonderful and ever smiling mophiso even carried my feverish daughter to my bungalow one night. We hope we can come back soon"

"Beautiful property but the staff and service was excellent, Jerry looked after us and will give him 5 stars, when we were not happy with pictures the photographer took, Jerry to us to some beautiful place and took excellent pictures all on his own, Jerry 👏👏👏💯"

"Beautiful resort. Staff were so friendly and hardworking "

"This was our trip to the Maldives and our first time at Lily's. Traveling during the low season helped us avoid the crowds and high prices. The Sunset water villa, which comes with a personal butler, is highly recommended. Our butler, Mussey, took care of all our needs. While our stay wasn't perfect, Mussey resolved all issues efficiently and swiftly. Despite being one of the older properties in the Maldives, Lily's maintains its rooms and grounds very well. With over six decades combined in the hospitality industry, my wife and I can be quite critical about accommodations and service standards. We'll return to collect our special memories scattered throughout the resort and island."

"Lovely staff, stunning accommodation, good food, great excursions. We went on snorkelling trips to look for Whale Sharks, turtles and Manta Rays and saw them all super close to us. Prices also weren’t quite as punitive as we’ve seen in the Maldives before (eg champagne for USD50, cocktails for USD12). "

"We were so excited because our host was from USA. But we wrong we had the worst ever experience bye for with the host, we stayed in this resort for 8 nights in the grand water villas #419. We had a chance only once at welcome and good-bye that was our help from the host."

"Overall was very good particularly the customer service was extremely good. Hotel management team was very present & approachable. However we were all expecting air conditioning throughout in the water villa especially it’s an enclosed bathroom. There was no AC nor fan in the bathroom and was recommended not to open the door in between the bedroom & bathroom which caused condensation. We tried but the heat/humidity made it hard to do whatever for a minute or 2 without sweating. This was very disappointing for 4.5* resort. Food was ok, plenty to choose from and will not go hungry. We were AI and drinks were included which were very good. The Chefs even provided us with custom made fish dishes which were very delicious. My friends did the fishing excursion but the Maldivian style was not for anyone but there weren’t any fishing rods as another option. We didn’t do any of the free excursions as weather wasn’t on our side. We stayed on the water villa and there were many fishes around for snorkeling but be aware that the bottom of the water was very rocky so water shoes are the must. Chanaka, the Guest Experience Manager was very helpful and made sure all guests enjoying their time on the island & leaving there with a big smile. It was a pleasant stay with few minor hiccups. Thank you for taking care of us. "
