Prepping up for the nearing honeymoon season already, Shangri La Villingili Resort & Spa, Maldives rolls out customised offers for the new romantics at special rates, starting from USD 600 per night, per couple.   

Shangri-La’s Villingili Resort & Spa, Maldives offers the most exotic experiences for couples that make for some cherishing moments on the island. The brightest gem in the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean, Villingili Island is located in the heart-shaped Addu Atoll, a true haven for those seeking romance.

Guests can embrace the idyllic romantic island setting in a secluded sanctuary, with a golden mile of stunning white sandy beach and a natural jungle with over 17,000 coconut trees and majestic banyan trees.  They will be awestruck by the natural treasures on the island and the marine life in the azure waters of the shoreline.

Couples can enjoy a villa with a private pool or over the ocean, a romantic abode where they can retreat, perched atop the emerald-green jungle canopy or strung along the turquoise shoreline.  The luxurious villas boast a spacious deck to enjoy the magnificent Indian Ocean scenery.  With a dining and lounge area high on aesthetics, makes it  ideal for a romantic dinner under the stars.  Whether for a wedding, honeymoon, proposal or a romantic getaway, the dedicated villa host can create a bespoke romantic setup for couples in the intimate settings of their villa.

To start the day in the most romantic way, couples staying in a villa with private pool can delight in a lazy morning indulgence with a floating breakfast featuring a variety of pastries, Poached Eggs, exotic fruits, waffles and more yummy goodies ready to satisfy their foodie cravings.  This Instagrammable experience is the perfect prop complemented by the stunning Indian Ocean at the backdrop.

For more privacy and exclusivity, Villa Muthee is the epitome of tropical refinement.  This presidential villa is nestled in its own luxurious environment with its private walkway entrance, a spacious deck with a private infinity pool and direct access to the ocean, a separate living room, yoga pavilion and even its own spa treatment room to let guests relax without leaving the villa.

Exclusive stargazing and sea-gazing experiences will delight guests, whereby they can take in the stunning and unique scenery of the island.  Couples will marvel at the sky with cocktails and canapes – from the elevated platform strategically located in a remote location on the golf course, perfect for star spotting, to the sound of the gently lapping waves from the ocean.

When it comes to sea-gazing, couples can experience the resort’s overwater swing, overlooking the turquoise hues of the lagoon waters, followed by a romantic picnic where they can enjoy tasty bites on the beach as the sun sets with marvellous tones of pink and purple reflecting on the water.

To further explore the aquatic wonders of the ocean, a guided turtle-quest snorkelling allows couples to discover the underwater world side by side while following the impressive turtles swimming in the lagoon.  After an active day, couples can relax and rejuvenate at CHI, The Spa with a 60-minute couple’s massage performed by two therapists working in unison to provide an unforgettable experience.

Located in its own spa village within the resort, CHI offers spacious treatment villas with private gardens and steam rooms, and a unique yoga pavilion overlooking the Indian Ocean.  The spa menu features a selection of Asian massages, Ayurveda treatments and locally inspired treatments, such as the Kandu Boli ritual, which combines a cowrie shell massage of the body and face to the sound of the traditional Maldivian melodies sang by the therapists.

The romantic experience continues with a private ‘Dine by Design’ experience in the romantic setting of Serenity Bay Beach, most famous for hosting celebrity proposals and weddings.  The chef will curate a special menu for the couple, catering to their gastronomic desires, to be enjoyed in an intimate location on the pristine white sandy beach.

Couples can also enjoy a romantic lunch date at one of the most exclusive locations on Earth, right on the Equator.  Aboard Shangri-La’s luxurious 21-metre-long Horizon yacht, they can marvel at acrobatic dolphins frolicking around at sunset while enjoying the fresh catch of the day prepared on board by the chef and sipping on the finest wines and Champagne.
