A treat for the senses a sanctuary for the soul

As you stroll along the resort’s edge, the vast Indian Ocean stirs a sense of awe deep within you. Like a pearl in its oyster, you’re embraced by the soothing ambience of Shangri-La’s Villingili Resort and Spa, Maldives.

Relaxing in your villa on a brilliant tropical afternoon, you enjoy the stunning view where the azure waters meet sapphire-coloured skies. Built on stilts in the resort's lagoon, the private haven is connected to the island by a timber walkway, over waters teeming with marine life.

The turquoise lagoon whispers the beauty of its shoreline as waves lap against the beach, beckoning you. With so much else to do at the resort, the sea will have to wait.

Peals of laughter fill the air. From somewhere, the rich aroma of coffee wafts towards you. You soak in the local vibes over a delectable lunch served on your villa deck, hoping the moment lasts forever.

As night falls, you anticipate a sumptuous themed dinner, a dining experience served in one of the resort’s most secret locations. Surrounded by lush vegetation and nocturnal sounds, open-flame torches are your sole illumination. You take a seat at a finely-adorned table. From tasty appetisers to sizzling barbecued specialities, the dinner is perfect, right down to the local-dessert finale.

Tomorrow, perhaps you'll seek adventure with an expedition to the equator on a two-mast luxury yacht. For now, you long for the endless horizon views at the Villingili Golf Course, and the magic of CHI, The Spa.

Welcome to Shangri-La's Villingili Resort and Spa, Maldives, where extraordinary adventures await.

Luxury Honeymoon Hammock for Two at Jumeirah Maldives

The Maldives is the ultimate destination for tropical weddings and honeymoons. Set in one of the most romantic destinations in the world, couples can get lost together as they survey miles of white sand, blue skies, and lush gardens.

Against this idyllic backdrop, Jumeirah Dhevanafushi and Jumeirah Vittaveli have unveiled a new ‘Hammock for Two’ honeymoon addition, designed to cultivate memories to last a lifetime.

In the southernmost part of the Maldives, 400 miles from the capital of Malé, Jumeirah Dhevanafushi is a true secret hideaway in the heart of the Indian Ocean. Offering complete seclusion in the Gaafu Alifu Atoll, newly-weds can go the ‘extra mile’ to the resort for the ‘Hammock for Two’ honeymoon addition of their dreams. Offering an indulgent couple’s massage, as well as a Champagne breakfast and a four course dinner under the stars, the bespoke experience will make couples feel like there is no one else on the island when added to any stay.

Each of the 38 villas come complete with private butlers, so honeymooners can rest assured that their every wish will be catered to; from guided snorkeling tours of the reef in the crystal clear Indian Ocean, to private meals on secluded beaches. For those who want to make, or renew, their vows in paradise, dedicated wedding coordinators are also on hand to offer their support and expertise as part of the additional ‘Ultimate Wedding Day’ experience. The offer includes a Master of Ceremonies to lead the service and traditional Bodu Beru drummers for a traditional Maldivian flavor, as well as complimentary Champagne, a Wedding Cake and a candlelit dinner to ensure a day to remember.

Alternatively, honeymooners looking to enjoy personalised Maldives Luxury Resorts closer to Malé can opt for Jumeirah Vittaveli, just a 20-minute boat ride from Malé International Airport. Far from the clutches of stressful city life, Jumeirah Vittaveli is nestled in a spot of outstanding sophistication, with every detail of a stay meticulously crafted to excite and indulge.

The ‘Ultimate Wedding Day’ experience is also available at Jumeirah Vittaveli, allowing couples to exchange vows with the stunning backdrop of the Indian Ocean, as they feel the traditional beat of the Bodu Beru. Whether a simple ceremony for two or a gala affair with loved ones, couples will have a pre-wedding meeting with the wedding coordinator to ensure their day is as they dreamed of. There is also the unique option to choose the exact location of the wedding ceremony, ensuring each ceremony will be personalised. Following the vows, a decorated wedding-buggy will carry the newlyweds back to the villa to enjoy VIP amenities and a romantic bath and bed decoration.

All villas, complete with private swimming pools and private beach access, make for the perfect setting to enjoy the ‘Hammock for Two’ addition. Enjoy discrete luxury service against a backdrop of incredible ocean views and, for a taste of adventure, take time to wander along sea facing trails of unsurpassed beauty. The 5-star dive centre is a veritable hive of activity for canoeing, windsurfing and diving in one of the world’s most incredible coral reefs. A tandem bicycle – made for two – will allow newlyweds to explore the winding lanes of the island, which mirror the aesthetic of a traditional Maldivian village. At every turn, unbeatable hospitality and five-star amenities combine to capture the very essence of indulgence.

The ‘Hammock for Two’ addition is available to enhance any booked stay from June 2013. If you would like to book your reservation or add Hammock for Two please contact Alpha Maldives’ Jumeirah Dhevanafushi reservation team.
