Overview

Shangri-La’s Villingili Resort & Spa promises an experience of a lifetime - a true luxury retreat. From the private water villas perched on stilts overlooking the island’s secluded lagoon, to the tree house villas set amidst the emerald-green jungle or the beach villas strung along the turquoise shoreline, the resort is the perfect haven for couples and families alike.

Enjoying a unique location beyond the equator, Villingili Island is a stunning jewel in the heart of the Indian Ocean.  Positioned at the southernmost point of the archipelago on the beautiful heart shaped Addu Atoll, it is protected by a stunning, tropical coral reef.  With perfect year-round temperatures and an extensive flawless coastline, every corner of the island hides new escapades to discover.

The island is over 2.5 km long and spreads across 54 hectares, allowing for multiple activities and dining options to be located in their own piece of paradise in utmost privacy. Its expansive footprint ensures that there is more to enjoy, from cycling through the jungle to a round of golf at the only course in the Maldives, a once in a lifetime ‘lunch on the equator’ aboard the resort's luxury yacht Horizon, or a thrilling ocean adventure where you can spot dolphins and majestic Manta rays.

You can also enjoy the dazzling surroundings such as the lush jungle wilderness and take in some of the atoll’s history and culture with a uniquely curated tour of the neighbouring islands, and the more active guests can refresh mind and body through the daily fitness programmes or book a wellness retreat to explore the art of reflexology, yoga and Ayurveda treatments. There is no end to the adventures that await you at this fabulous resort.
