Shangri-La's Villingili Resort & Spa

Wonderful resort, wonderful staff, wonderful service. Thank you to Irine and Anvar.

The staffs were very friendly . They get everything done for you very nicely. And the water villa we stayed in was perfect . We wished we could have a longer stay . The dolphin tour we went was worth the money as well! Truly an amazing experience. The only thing with the resort is its location. It’s another 2 hrs flight from male airport. So, One will need to put this into planning.

We spent honeymoon there. Everything are perfect!

I would strongly recommend the in-house photography as the pictures turned out to be awesome. The service staff were excellent in their service and we will strongly recommend people to this resort.

staff made us feel at home. everybody was friendly. great ammenities. only resort in maldives w golf course

Everything is great. Feel like stay at own house with all the familiar neighbors. Is really worth to travel along the way and pass through equator. Really had a great holiday and more than what is expected.

Great hotel with great facilities, great staff and etc

i love the brand,i love the island,live it so much

Despite the location is so far from Male Airport, it takes about more than minutes on old domestic air plane to GAN airport then 5 minutes speed boat to the resort, the resort is so beautiful, nature and amazing. The staff are so much nicely and helpful. Foods is not really good bur acceptable. Good for couples to enjoy the honeymoon.

I think the water villa is prefect , not worth to try pool villa .

It was one of my best holidays.. The staff are very friendly, the service was amazing ,,the hotel is very huge you can find daily activities if you like such couples cooking, spa, water activities, etc. The only two things I would say that affected my mood were: 1- the hotel is very far from Male airport. You have to take domestic flight that is scheduled on specific times ( for 70-90 minutes) which means if the got delayed) such my case), you will wait in the airport and the Traveling day will go for nothing. 2- all the resort beach is not clean. You can find dead bird or full of plants that will not make you comfortable walking.

1.Domestic flight was delayed & causing us to stay at the lounge for hours, light refreshment wasnt that fantastic. 2.The almost 2 hrs flight was torturing with the sound of propeller. 3.Touching down Gan airport have to transfer to speedboat, a warm towel would be better than cold. 4.Welcome with coconut juice was average as it was pouring heavily, does not enjoy it. Not enough umbrellas to shelter all so about 4 to 5 person squeeze in an umbrella, very unpleasant. 5.Staffs were extremely friendly & patience though, guided us through our ocean view pool villa. It was rather oversize for just 2 of us, a living room on its own, a bedroom connect with open concept bathroom with huge tub and outdoor shower. 6.Not sure was it because of the weather, mosquitos & pest infested. You can see bats flying & resting right ouside, amoung the trees. At night was really pitch dark. 7.You can call for buggy service or cycle at your convenience, was given a nokia mobile by my villa butler. 8.Room was comfortable overall, able to hear the sound of the waves. 9.Staffs were service oriented but barely meet my expectation as i am an hotelier myself in Singapore. There wasnt any WOW element coming from a 5stars resort except the generosity of bread inclusive for which ever food you ordered. 10.Food wise wasnt that fantastic for a seafood lover. I had seafood for almost every meal but the standard vary. Definitely not value for money. I had chosen Dine by Design at Mount Villingili to celebrate my husband birthday, he was surprised by the place and deco but food wasnt impressive. USD180++ per pax doesnt fit well for a 3 course meal WITHOUT beverages provided. As the sun sets around 6 plus in the evening, we became the food for mosquitos. The chef & helper did their best to keep the pests away but it will definitely be better if repellants could be pre-arranged rather than being told. As Shang was rather far from Male, would not be of my choice again considering e hassle.

Our original reservation was for four days, but we stayed for ten days. It was incredible. The location and the resort are top notch. The staff was delightful. Our five-year old loved it, too. I would recommend this resort to anyone for as many days as you can spare.

Great

amazing place, definetely we would go back

First of all I would like to congratulate the wonderful team with the magnificent Shangri-La Resort and Spa you all run perfectly, each one at his own level of responsibilities. I came along with my wife and it was an outstanding stay due to the outstanding standards provided to make the guest not only feel like home but to make feel he owns the home, I would not return so quickly and leave the resort but we have to work and then find the chance to enjoy. Definitely the Shangri - La is the best option because this is our first time in Maldives and the choice to be with your resort surpassed our expectations by far!! in view of all of the above, we are considering visiting the Resort but next time will be with our kids during one of their school holidays so that to get a wonderful chance to enjoy everything within the Resort and have a lifetime memories of their own we really LOVED It so much Thanks for every thing we saw, felt, and lived with joy and happiness
