Been wanting to visit this resort since its opening and finally got to do so in early April 2024. We decided on this place as it was new and a short 15-20mins boat ride from Velana International Airport. Being highly accessible by a short speedboat ride was a big plus as we travelled with 2 kids aged 6 and 3. The resort’s staff at the airport were well prepared to receive us; the send off was also perfect, with them assisting us right up to the point of clearing immigration. The Hilton luxury speedboats were air conditioned, plush, clean and came with drinks and snacks. Our overwater 1 bedroom suite with pool, was spacious and well appointed, perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. The difference between the suite and the non-suite was that the suites came with an additional living room space with a sofa that can be converted to a bed. Bedding was really comfortable. There are 3 shower choices: tub, standing or outdoor. Toiletries were supplied by Crabtree & Evelyn. Kids loved the viewing areas on the floor that showed the sea beneath the villa. The pool was of a good, usable size. The outdoor dining set and hammocks were definitely an added plus. Bicycles were provided for every villa and our Guest Experience Manager (GEM) Cherry went the extra mile to get the kids bicycles and one with a carry on seat to fetch our younger one around. Food: a good selection of food over the resort. Quality of food and beverage was overall, great. If there’s one restaurant that one must go to, that would be ORIGIN. And other one would be BEACH SHACK. These are must haves at your visit to Amingiri. However, please book in advance to secure a slot to eat at these 2 places. Our GEM worked really hard to secure places for us. Daily breakfast was served at HABITAT; food was great too; it’s also worthwhile to have a the half board inclusive set dinner at HABITAT. Facilities and activities: one would be spoilt for choice for these at Amingiri. We loved the morning yoga sessions at the SKYE. The kids were also well occupied at the KRAKENGIRI kids club; there was a good range of activities for kids. The kids club was also very clean, well maintained and well equipped with good toys and fun outdoor pools and water features to entertain the kids. And most memorable was the very tall director of the kids club, who connected so well with the kids and everyone loved him. We celebrated our kids’ birthdays during our stay and our GEM and staff went the extra mile to ensure that the kids had the most memorable birthdays thus far. A big thank you! We would like to thank the team and everyone at Hilton Amingiri for writing another chapter of our Maldives experience with us. Would like to mention our gratitude to Cherry, Anees, Cassandra and many staff that we met along our stay there. Would we consider returning? We would say a big yes, without even thinking!
