Located just a 25-minute seaplane journey from Malé, the Lily Beach Resort & Spa benefits from pristine beaches, lush tropical vegetation, and the exotic house-reef just a few metres away from the shore. The favorable location in the spectacular South Ari Atoll places Huvahendhoo island in close proximity to some of the most amazing dive sites in the world. The 119 villas and suites are scattered around the island, some on the shore and some over-water. All are spacious and offer comfortable modern amenities including a private deck with direct beach or water access, and an outdoor bathroom some with jacuzzi bathtub.

As well as a state-of-the-art gym, the resort has a well-equipped water sports centre which can arrange canoeing, windsurfing, wake boarding, catamaran sailing, and a range of motorized sports. The sports complex at the resort has a floodlit tennis court, table tennis, a beach volleyball court, and two swimming pools. Excursions further afield can also be arranged including big game fishing, snorkelling, and diving.

The resort features a number of bars and restaurants, including the main 'Lily Maa' buffet restaurant which serves a selection of international and Asian food and has an extensive wine list, and is complimented by the more intimate a la carte 'Tamarind' restaurant. The resort's 'Platinum Plan' provides guests with a good value 'all inclusive' stay where meals, drinks, excursions, and water sports are all included in the room rate.
