Shangri-La’s Villingili Resort & Spa, Maldives announced the launch of two exclusive romantic packages laced with the most glamourous experiences for couples to spend memorable 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 will embrace the idyllic romantic island settings, in a world of its own, with a golden mile of stunning white sandy beach and a natural jungle with over 17,000 coconut trees and majestic Banyan trees. Couples will be awestruck by the natural treasures on the island and marine life in the azure waters of the shoreline.
The Romance in the Maldives offer includes a five-night stay in a villa with a private pool or over the ocean, a romantic abode where couples 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, 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.
The offer also includes an exclusive stargazing and sea-gazing experience whereby guests 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 marvelous tones of pink and purple reflecting on the water.
To further explore the aquatic wonders of the ocean, a guided turtle-quest snorkeling will allow 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 package will culminate with the 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.
The Romance in the Maldives offer is available from USD 675* per night for two persons.
The Proposal Experience package includes the above activities with a stay in the exclusive Villa Muthee, 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.
This offer also includes a romantic lunch date at one of the most exclusive locations on Earth, right on the Equator. Aboard Shangri-La’s luxurious 21-meter-long Horizon yacht, the couple can marvel at acrobatic dolphins frolicking around at sunset.
The Proposal Experience offer is available from USD 3,739* per night for two persons.
