Why should you vote for Lily Beach?

Lily Beach is a locally owned and operated resort in the Maldives that is the pioneer of all-inclusive tourism in the Maldives.

Since becoming wildly popular with that concept in the 90s and 2000s, the resort reinvented the concept, bringing it to a higher level of service experience: five-star luxury.

It showed all peers in the industry that all-inclusive is possible and can be a great experience for guests who would like to not worry about a huge invoice during the stay, instead a generous offering of lodging, meals, and extra activities are all included in one great package.

Here are 5 reasons to vote for the resort in the above categories:

The original All-Inclusive provider and still the leader in that space by creating offerings that are highly competitive included in its only meal plan at the resort– The Platinum Package.
The resort has something for both families and couples where there is something for everyone to enjoy. The resort also has designated dichotomous specialised areas for couples and for families, for being active and for relaxation respectively. This is especially great for multi-generational group travellers where mom and dad can rekindle their romance in the quiet zone while grandparents can have oodles of fun with their grandkids at the pool bar at Vibes and Kids Club.
Food is at the heart of the resort where presentation of food is given equal importance as taste. The delectable delight of joy is felt in each bite at the resort which offers international cuisine and some specialised restaurants offering multiple cuisines such as Thai, Indian, and French.
Complimentary Excursions galore – every guest has access to many complimentary services at the resort such as snorkelling, fishing, sunset cruise, one group yoga class per guest, etc.
The resort has many activities for kids as well such as going on half-submarine Penguin ride around the island, learning to paint with our resident Artist Sirey and learning how to cook fun food with our chefs, learning about fish at the Dive Centre as well, etc. Rest assured kids can have an entertaining and educational experience at Lily Beach.
