We visited the Maldives for the first time in June 5th, 2013, which was at Monsoon Wet season. It was a pit disappointing as I took all my tanning gear. However, the weather was nice most of the time with cold breeze with no sun heat. We stayed for 3 nights. We chose our hotel Shangri-la basically for the name,... More

The hotels in Maldives need to disclose the price of seaplane or speedboat charges in their websites and in the websites of all the travel relates sites, such as Agoda, Expedia, etc. People need to know beforehand about these charges so they can make informed choices. It costs USD 350 for return trip from Male airport to Gan airport. The... More

Everything about this property screams First Class. The grounds are impeccable, the villas like new, the staff accommodating and smiling. The beaches are like a dream come true, white sand, crystal clear water, warm and inviting. The butlers are helpful without being overbearing. The fun of getting around on your own bike or buggy is refreshing. The breakfast plentiful and... More

We just returned from 10 days in the Maldives at the Shangri-La. I can easily say that our stay was one of the best holidays we've ever had and we're regular travelers.

Maldives is heaven on earth and we had a great time overall. We travelled with a baby and it seems that Shangri-la may be one of the best choices for traveling with a family.

The villas here and in Bora-Bora (several hotels, incl. Four Seasons) are very similar in concept. Some at the Villingili Resort are farther away from the restaurants than the farthest one in Bora Bora, but the golf carts are readily available both places.
