To increase the value of their Platinum Plan, the resort also offers some great limited-time experiences during the year such as wellness retreats and football freestyle camps. In that sense, there are multitudes of experiences for couples and for families available at the well-known resort.
Lily Beach Resort & Spa’s extensive Platinum Plan continues to set the bar for all-inclusive offerings in the Maldives. By staying on-the-pulse with the latest dining experience trends and culinary innovations, guests are continually wowed by the quality and presentation of products, many of which are imported from Europe. This 5-star service extends to an extensive selection of wine, spirits, fresh juices and cocktails, and Taittinger champagne served in all the bars and restaurants. As per guest feedback we are always happy to know that food at Lily Beach is one major draws to the resort, especially the taste and presentation of food at its renowned buffet main restaurant Lily Maa – under the watchful eye and careful curation by Executive Chef Olivier, Executive Sous Chef Lakshita, and long-time pillar of F&B operations – F&B Director Shareef.
The Platinum Plan also includes among many inclusions, snorkelling equipment hire, access to all non-motorised water sports, and three excursions per person per stay to be availed from four expertly curated experiences. Together with a weekly program of fun-filled variety of entertainment ensuring a lively atmosphere every day, it’s no wonder Lily Beach is back in the running for this highly deserved accolade.
