Shangri-La’s Villingili Resort & Spa Maldives

Pool Villas are surrounded by a lush forest and offer views of the gentle rolling ocean. The luxury resort’s Pool Villas feature their own private pool, terrace and open-air shower. Guests can enjoy the soothing sound of the waves from the comfort of their bed, catch up on their reading or relax on a day bed on the patio or terrace.

Situated in a tranquil setting and tucked behind the secluded shores of Villingili Island, all Deluxe Pool Villas have their own spacious garden and intimate coral beachfront, offering unbeatable seclusion and second-to-none privacy. Deluxe Pool Villa guests can enjoy stunning views of the gentle rolling ocean from their own infinity pool and wooden sundeck.

Water Villas are built on stilts in the resort’s lagoon. Connected to the island by a timber walkway, each Water Villa has an open and airy atmosphere. Access to this private haven is via a walkway over turquoise water that teems with marine life.

Featuring exquisite views of the ocean, Ocean Tree House Villas are secluded, private island hideaways. Perched on stilts among the treetops, these tropical luxury tree houses provide guests with unforgettable memories. At this elevation, privacy is assured as the beautiful, panoramic views unfold like a living canvas of sparkling surf and languid lagoons.

These luxurious Beach Villas provide a private haven on a white-sand beach, and are set over two separate pavilions. Entry is via a thatched-roof entry gate to a landscaped courtyard leading to the rustic timber door of the villa’s entrance. Every Beach Villa features a private terrace leading to the beach.

Luxurious and tastefully decorated, two-bedroom villas are located adjacent to one another, making them ideal for families or travelling companions wanting both privacy and proximity. The villas are set in beautiful grounds and share a large patio and sun deck, complete with an infinity pool.

The only one of its kind at Shangri-La’s Villingili Resort and Spa, Villa Muthee is appropriately named.  Muthee, which means ‘pearl’ in the local Dhivehi language, is a villa for those craving sanctuary from the fast-paced world in an ambience that offers stunning vistas and absolutely everything necessary for a perfect getaway.

Spacious, stylish and thoughtfully designed, Villa Laalu is the jewel in the resort’s crown, with two large, high-ceilinged bedrooms. Carefully selected artworks are on display throughout this exquisite villa, together with high-end Asian artefacts, sculptures and urns from Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand.
