The IM take
Why we'd send you to Lily Beach Resort & Spa
Lily Beach Resort & Spa on Huvahendhoo Island is often credited as the resort that established the concept of true all-inclusive luxury in the Maldives. The Platinum Plus All-Inclusive package pioneered at Lily Beach was the first of its kind to bundle spa treatments, water sports, and PADI diving into an unlimited resort package, and it remains the benchmark against which all other Maldivian all-inclusive offers are measured. Located in South Ari Atoll — one of the most productive marine ecosystems in the archipelago — Huvahendhoo sits in the middle of the whale shark corridor.
Located in South Ari Atoll — one of the most productive marine ecosystems in the archipelago — Huvahendhoo sits in the middle of the whale shark corridor. Whale shark sightings directly off the beach are common throughout the year, and the resort's dedicated marine excursion programme runs daily snorkelling trips to the best sites. Manta ray encounters are also frequent in season.
