Dining
- Lily Maa — International Buffet
The beating heart of dining at Lily Beach, Lily Maa is a sand-floor beachfront restaurant with a different world-cuisine theme each night of the week — from Maldivian Night and Seafood Extravaganza to Mediterranean and Asian Street Food. Home to a live lobster tank, it pairs its rotating buffet with an exclusive selection of premium wines, with à la carte available for dietary needs.
- Private Dining — Private Dining
Lily Beach's private dining experience invites guests to dine beneath dhoni-sail shade canopies on the beach, evoking the graceful handcrafted fishing boats of the Maldives. Menus are prepared to personal preference under the supervision of the resort's Executive Chef, making each sunset or moonlit dinner a bespoke occasion tailored entirely to the guest.
- AQVA Bar — Bar / Light Bites
Perched on the sunset side of Lily Beach, AQVA Bar is the resort's adults-only retreat centred on a stunning infinity pool overlooking the Indian Ocean. Comfortable loungers, shade canopies and an à la carte snack menu make it the definitive spot to watch the Maldivian sunset, continuing well after dark with cocktails, coffee and evening dining.
- The Spirit Bar — Bar / Cocktails
The Spirit Bar is Lily Beach's signature beach bar, where barefoot guests sink into coral sand beneath a multicoloured bar hung with shells. The indoor lounge and open-air terrace both frame views of the turquoise Indian Ocean. House cocktails — including the signature Turquoise Experience — share the menu with shisha and espresso, making it equally suited to morning coffee or a moonlit nightcap.
- Tamarind — Thai / Indian
Lily Beach's overwater fine-dining restaurant, Tamarind suspends guests above the Maldivian lagoon beneath a striking chandelier and golden-garland décor. The menu journeys through Thai and Indian cuisine — rich curries, fragrant spices and fresh seafood — paired with wines from international cellars. Limited seating makes advance reservations essential for this intimate, couples-focused venue.
- Vibes Bar — Bar / Poolside
Vibes Bar is the resort's lively poolside hub, built around a large deck with two swimming pools, a floor fountain feature and an indoor games room with billiard tables and table tennis. By day it serves light bites and refreshments for families and active guests; by night it becomes the entertainment centre with a live band or DJ performing twice weekly, plus a full cocktail list and shisha.
- Teppanyaki — Japanese Teppanyaki
Each evening, Lily Beach's AQVA Bar transforms into a theatre of gastronomy as teppanyaki chefs take centre stage around the sizzling iron griddle. Guests gather in small groups to watch dramatic flipping, tossing and juggling while premium ingredients — including fresh lobster and Wagyu beef — are cooked to order. A theatrical dining ritual that turns dinner into a performance.
