Hotel Details

‘Stare into the face of beauty’

Expansive beautiful grounds are the hallmark of the Shangri-La Villingili Resort & Spa – the first luxury resort in the Maldives located south of the equator. Here, a 3km long island that gives home to 17000 coconut trees, banyan trees and natural dense vegetation provides the perfect respite. Overlooking the crystal blue waters of the Indian Ocean, it is difficult to imagine a more perfect setting.

In our Opinion


‘A recent pre-opening visit by Destinology staff exceeded expectations in every area - accommodation standards and privacy, island beauty and restaurant options. We have every confidence that guests will be given exceptional service delivered in a friendly, courteous and caring manner. Whilst this hotel is incredibly private, with its wonderful self-contained villas with private pools it carefully presents ocean experiences, countryside walks and sports. Unlike many paradise islands Villingili will satisfy both the escapist and adventurer in equal measure'
