Crystal-clear water, gentle sounds of the sea and beautiful beaches - the Maldives are a special paradise in the Indian Ocean. The numerous islands have been home to exceptional hotels and resorts for 50 years now. Today, the island republic is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world. Not only for divers but also for lifestyle travellers and luxury lovers. The numerous Spa retreats also entice with pure relaxation in the island paradise. The Lily Hotels offer unforgettable experiences and each of the three hotels scores with unique experiences.
Lily Beach Resort & Spa
In the South Ari Atoll, which is considered a true hotspot for divers, travelers will find an exclusive all-inclusive resort with the Lily Beach Resort&Spa. From the Beach Villa to the Sunset Water Suite with private pool, guests can choose from a variety of accommodation options. Whether as a couple or with the family - everyone will find the right villa here. Four restaurants and four bars provide culinary delights around the clock. The resort is one of the most popular all-inclusive destinations in recent years and the resort's own overwater Tamara Spa has been nominated for numerous international awards. Here guests can relax and enjoy treatments with exclusive and high-quality beauty brands. The Balinese treatments, for example, are particularly popular. Just 25 minutes by seaplane from Malé, Lily Beach Resort&Spa is a true oasis of relaxation far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With the resort's Platinum Plan, guests can expect even more inclusive services and excellent all-round service, making a stay in the Maldives an unforgettable experience for all the senses.

Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa
The island paradise of the Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa is no less elegant. The island resort is located in the Haa Alifu Atoll and thus in the northernmost atoll of the Maldives. Each of the 103 suites is attended to by a butler who is available to guests around the clock, and the Beach Villas also have their own private beach section. Those looking for togetherness and privacy will definitely find it here. Guests can also charter a private jet and arrive via Maafaru International Airport. A 25-minute seaplane flight then awaits. Guests can also travel in comfort and have the option of choosing a seaplane and a domestic flight from Velana International Airport. Travelers with the entire family will feel right at home in the larger villas - private pool and breathtaking sunset views included. The luxury resort serves haute cuisine at Matheefaru Restaurant. Two other restaurants, an exclusive private dining experience and a sunset pool café round out the culinary experience. Some of the fruits and vegetables come from the resort's own garden, which is lovingly tended and which guests can visit together with the staff. Yoga, tennis and golf - the latter rather unusual for the island state - are offered as leisure activities. Either in the golf simulator, or on the island itself. The huge island paradise offers even more leisure options, such as a large gym, professional tennis courts, paddle tennis and much more. Those who prefer to relax will be enchanted by the Ayurvedic treatments in the exclusive spa.
Sunset Beach Villa from € 1400 ++ per night for two people and one child (up to 12 years) with the all-inclusive plan, including a choice of 2 excursions per stay, such as a visit to a local island, a dolphin cruise or snorkeling at the house reef.

Precious and exclusive - that describes the new addition to Lily Hotels. The Signature Collection by Hideaway consists of nine ultra-luxurious villas where guests can be pampered around the clock and experience the epitome of "barefoot luxury". Located in the north of the Hideaway Beach Resort, the villas are among the largest in the Maldives and score points not only with 24-hour butler and buggy service, but also other Signature Collection benefits. Pristine beach under your nose and privacy at the northernmost point of the island await, as does "The Oasis" - a retreat that serves as a bar, restaurant and lounge. The exclusive beauty products in the villa are by Bulgari, and guests can book a Private Chef or Private Barbeque Experience upon request. An Excursion Concierge Service by Mr. Moodhu provides a varied program - also suitable for children if desired. From fishing trips to diving excursions - the butler and service team fulfill guests' every wish - for carefree vacations on the island.
The Signature Collection by Hideaway Signature Beach Residence with Sunrise Pool is priced from €1950++ per night with the Signature Platinum plan for two people and one child (up to 12 years).

Lily Hotels: What to do?
If you think that the Maldives are only interesting for divers, you are wrong. Many resorts offer action-packed water sports activities. The Lily Hotels offer their young and adult guests a variety of unforgettable experiences:

Diving
The Ari Atoll in particular is a true diver's paradise. From whale sharks in the South Ari Atoll to schools of manta rays and dolphins, even novice divers can enjoy unforgettable encounters with marine life in this region. Certified guides are always on hand and those who wish can take their first diving course at the resorts. Besides the action-packed day program, this is a relaxing yet exciting alternative.
