It’s been a long time coming, but Shangri-La’s Villingili Resort & Spa opens in July.
Yes, yes, another new resort in the Maldives, but this one has been in the works for years
and is the first luxury resort south of the equator, in Addu Atoll, with an impressive four miles
of coastline. It brings Asian hospitality, along with the coup of not having to wait around for
seaplanes limited by daylight flying hours, as Villingili can be reached via scheduled flights to
Gan. Its 142 stand-alone villas include 16 treehouses, while a CHI Spa, two restaurants and a
thought-of-everything Village Centre also feature. shangri-la.com
