Property description
Shangri-La's Villingili Resort & Spa, the first luxury resort in the Maldives south of the equator, offers guests a stylish experience in a spacious, boutique-style environment. Located on Addu Atoll, the resort encompasses over six kilometres of picturesque coastline and nearly two kilometres of beautiful white sandy beach. Unlike any other, the three-kilometre-long island features 12 hectares of lush vegetation, 17,000 coconut trees, 3 natural lagoons and nature trails.
From private ocean retreats to tropical tree house villas – unique to the Maldives – with panoramic views, accommodation is available in seven distinct styles, each equipped with iPod docking station, and other luxurious amenities.
The sensory pleasures of eating and drinking are well catered for on the resort. Dr. Ali's leads the restaurant selection with three distinctive living rooms that focus on fine cuisine from the Indian Ocean, the South China Sea and the Arabian Gulf. For those who seek an experience with a difference, take a cruise on a luxury yacht for lunch on the equator.
CHI, The Spa offers innovative therapies in a secluded sanctuary and the unique yoga pavilion overlooking the Indian Ocean. For the energetic, take a speedboat to Gan island and explore by bicycle the five neighbouring islands connected by a 17-kilometre road. There is excellent snorkelling at the resort's house reef and snorkelling gardens close to the shoreline for less experienced swimmers.
Shangri-La's Villingili Resort & Spa is a 70-minute flight from Male which has around-the-clock flights from the domestic airport, and an eight-minute boat ride from Gan International Airport on Addu Atoll.
