What Our Guests Say

Rated Travellers' Choice on TripAdvisor

Amazing staying

Recently stayed at the hotel, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The hotel looks stunning as soon as you walk in. The staff were friendly and made me feel welcome right away. My room was very clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. The bed was super comfortable, and the sea view from the window was amazing. The food at the hotel was delicious. Breakfast had a great variety, and everything was fresh and well-prepared. The hotel has everything you need to relax — an amazing spa, a beautiful pool.

Kuda Villingili and Nylee: Extraordinaire, Luxurious, Impeccable

Had an amazing luxurious stay. What a spectacular resort and the hospitality is extraordinaire. Every one was so courteous, warm and ready to help. I would like to thank Nylee (our butler) for making our stay so comfortable and beautiful — she went that extra mile to make sure everything was perfect and seamless. She truly made me feel special and celebrated my birthday in the most memorable way. My kid has named her HIGHLY NYLEE — which means we highly recommend Nylee to anyone travelling to the resort. She is truly a GEM.
