I have travelled around the world. This by far was paradise. Not a bad moment.Went with a group of friends. Everything was perfect. From the service to food to room and amenities. Not cheap but worth every cent. I wish i could be there now.

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. Actually, couples looking to have a baby free holiday may want to look elsewhere. We stayed with a couple of our friends in a double villa... More

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. Villingili has a hammock situated over the water, but Bora Bora has a glass viewing area on... More

We paid a bomb for the villa (double the normal price due to Chinese New Year season), so we had high expectation of what we'll be getting.
