Shangri-La’s Villingili Resort & Spa

Each beautiful villa at this resort comes with either a private pool or direct overwater access – we especially recommend the unique treehouse villas and the sunset overwater villas. Unlike many Maldives resorts, which cater mostly to couples and families, this one has a two-bedroom villa available for 6, which is perfect for a luxury group getaway. Shangri-La Maldives also stands out thanks to its private 9-hole golf course – the only of its kind in the country – and a first-rate selection of activities. There are tennis courts, jogging trails, bicycle tours of the surrounding islands, and all the watersports you could want to try out. The Health Club and spa are also fantastic.
