If you’re aching for an easy but high-caliber dose of much needed down time, Kuda Villingili Resort Maldives fits the bill. This luxurious 5-star property in North Male’ Atoll, located a mere 30-minute speedboat ride away from Velana International Airport, offers an idyllic getaway with a laidback, low-key island feel.
As soon as you step foot on the property, you’re assigned a friendly butler to cater to all your wants and needs. Whether you’d like a buggy ride around the island or extra amenities brought to your room, your butler is at your beck and call.
The rooms themselves are spacious, with a sophisticated and contemporary design. Inspired by nature, the villas are furnished with rustic wood and stone elements, enabling a sense of calm and tranquility. During our stay at the Deluxe Haven, we were treated to picturesque views of the soft, pearly beach and the turquoise waters just a few steps away from our patio.
The main focus at Kuda Villingili is the gorgeous 150m pool – one of the longest in the Maldives – that stretches across the property. Grab a zesty cocktail and take a dip to cool off from the heat; in the hours preluding dusk, enjoy buzzing DJ music and entertainment for the ultimate pool party. And if you’d rather just chill out, make a beeline for the Jacuzzi jets at the end of the line, where you can relax in quiet seclusion.
Meanwhile, the food was, to our minds, one of the most impressive parts about this resort. It was consistent across venues too; the hawker-style sharing options we devoured by the pool was every bit as impressive as the polished plates served at The Restaurant, set against the backdrop of the glimmering Indian Ocean.
The food itself was light and fresh, which is exactly what you’d crave after a day of lounging in the sun. The menus at each venue are heavily influenced by specific cuisines, so whatever you’re in the mood for, the expert chefs at Kuda Villingili have got you covered. After lunch, be sure to indulge in a scoop of ice-cream to top off your meal (if you’re fond of tropical flavors, ask for the coconut, and thank us later).
Another absolute wow factor? The resort’s recreation center! Kuda Villingili boasts an impressive lineup of indoor games, including billiards, air hockey, foosball, and even the latest PlayStation setup, suitable for adults and kids alike. The ‘Kuda Fiyo’ Kid’s Club at Kuda Villingili also offers enriching experiences and activities for your little ones to revel in.
