Last Month, Hilton announced the opening of their new flagship property, the Hilton Maldives Amingiri Resort & Spa; the one hundred and nine all-pool villa resort brings a new level of luxury amenities to the archipelago for a new era of travellers.

Situated on the island of Amingiri in the North Malé Atoll, the resort is only a scenic twenty-minute speedboat ride from Velan International Airport. Once you arrive, you will settle into one of the expansive beach and overwater villas, all offering a private pool and enticing views of the surrounding lagoon.

Every corner of the property embraces the unique surroundings in the Maldives, with local accents and contemporary finishes showcased at every chance. Each villa has been designed to invite an abundance of natural light through its floor-to-ceiling windows, mirror the warmth of the sea and sky, and immerse its guests into a truly Maldives experience..

The Stunning Overwater Villas

The overwater villas are designed with stairs that lead directly into the stunning lagoon, or if you prefer to catch some sun, you can relax in the hammock by the pool.
The beach villas have direct sand access and their own gazebo on the shore to sit and enjoy a romantic evening with the waves crashing in and the stunning white sand between your toes.
All villas include large bathrooms with ocean-facing bathtubs and indoor and outdoor rain showers that enhance that feeling of tropical relaxation.

“The Maldives is one of the most desired vacation destinations for travellers around the world – seeing a continued pace of bookings even throughout the last two years when it was the first country to open its borders to international travellers during the pandemic. The expansion of our flagship brand here underscores our commitment to bringing our world-class brands to key locations, and we are confident Hilton Maldives Amingiri Resort & Spa will build on our legacy of delivering an exceptional stay to delight and inspire our guests,” said Alan Watts, president, Asia Pacific, Hilton.

The property is also a delight for the travelling foodie, with six distinctive dining experiences, each taking guests on a culinary journey inspired by the island’s surroundings.
Origin is an incredible dinner experience celebrating sustainable seafood, ageing techniques and a food upcycling approach.
Or you can enjoy some of the property’s all-day dining options like Habitat or the Beach Shack, where you can dine with the sand between your toes.
Either way, Hilton says they aim to have something to satisfy every palate.

The Beach Shack

The stunning Sip Tea Lounge is a celebration of tea culture from all over the world; this modern-day tea house provides an opportunity for guests to relax over many incredible varieties and discover new favourites.
For those of us more partial to a glass of champagne or a gin or two, you can enjoy the adult-only overwater bar Eden or head over to the poolside bar Aura, which has a must-see cocktail lab dedicated to providing the best mixology experience.

Suppose you are travelling in a larger group. In that case, you may feel more comfortable booking into the Amingiri Residence, set to open later this November.
This six-bedroom island escape is set in its own stunningly landscaped cove, and your guests can arrive at the private pier and enjoy an evening of drinks on the sundeck and 360-degree views of the Maldivian sunset.

The Amingiri Residence

We promised that the amenities at the Hilton Maldives Amingiri Resort & Spa would be like nothing else seen before, so here’s the rundown on just a few of the inspiring experiences available for holidaymakers.
