Lily Beach Resort & Spa in the Maldives secured the prestigious title of Maldives’ Leading All-Inclusive Resort 2025 at the World Travel Awards, reinforcing its reputation for delivering unparalleled luxury through its renowned Platinum Plan. Nestled in South Ari Atoll, the resort boasts proximity to the South Ari Marine Protected Area, a prime location for spotting whale sharks and exploring some of the Maldives’ finest diving and snorkelling sites. Guests can easily access the island’s vibrant 360-degree house reef, where a rich array of marine life thrives just steps from the resort’s villas.

The Platinum Plan elevates the all-inclusive experience, catering to both couples and families with an array of indulgent offerings. Guests enjoy dining at four distinct venues, from international gourmet buffets with live cooking at Lily Maa to refined Indian-Thai fusion cuisine at the overwater Tamarind restaurant. Teppanyaki at AQVA provides interactive Japanese dining with stunning lagoon views, while Les Turquoise d’Aqua offers an exclusive fine-dining experience paired with carefully selected wines. The resort’s wine cellar, recognized with the Wine Spectator Award 2024, features over 80 premium wines from across the globe.

Beyond dining, the Platinum Plan includes unlimited cocktails, spirits, champagnes, and specialty coffees at Vibes Bar and AQVA Bar. Guests can embark on three included excursions, such as coral garden snorkelling, a sunset cruise, or big game fishing, with an option to visit a local island. Evening entertainment, ranging from live music and cultural performances to DJ nights, ensures vibrant nights on the island. For relaxation, Tamara Spa offers daily yoga, a gym, and holistic wellness programs, while the Turtle Kids’ Club keeps younger guests engaged with fun, educational activities. Water sports enthusiasts can choose from non-motorized options like paddleboarding or thrilling motorized activities such as jet skiing.

With its luxurious beachfront and overwater villas, personalized service, and comprehensive all-inclusive package, Lily Beach remains a top choice for effortless luxury in the Maldives. Its exceptional house reef, proximity to whale shark hotspots, and culinary excellence continue to distinguish it as a leader in the region’s hospitality scene. This latest accolade from the World Travel Awards 2025 underscores the resort’s enduring commitment to excellence.
