Saii Lagoon Maldives Curio Collection by Hilton

Overview

One word: relaxation. Saii Lagoon Maldives Curio Collection by Hilton has all the beauty of a French Riviera town, but surrounded by the peaceful ambience of the Indian Ocean, which is - quite literally - on your doorstep! You can spend your days here snorkelling, dolphin-spotting, or swimming, topped off with a spot of yoga or a cooking class so you can feel like a local for the day. Oh, and there are plenty of places to eat and drink too, so you're never too far from a cocktail...

How far is the nearest beach?

The resort is situated right along the white sandy beachfront.

Distance from Airport

15 minutes away from Velana International Airport, Malé - by speedboat.

Rooms

A choice of stylish room types and villas are offered at the resort, including Sky Rooms, Beach Rooms, Beach Villas, Overwater Villas and 2 Bedroom Villas for a bit more space. Each room is kitted out with amenities such as FREE Wi-Fi, air conditioning, an LCD TV, a hairdryer, bathrobes, a telephone, ironing facilities (on request), an electronic safe, bottled water and tea and coffee facilities.

Food & Drink

Dining spots on site include Miss Olive Oyl - a laidback venue just steps from the beach with a Mediterranean menu on offer, Mr Tomyam which celebrates European flavours in a Thai-Italian fusion, and the Sensation Beach Club where you can chill out with a bite to eat and an ice-cold drink. There's also a poolside bar, where you can enjoy tropical cocktails and snacks from the comfort of your sun lounger, as well as a coffee shop which is perfect for getting your caffeine fix or grabbing a sweet treat to go.

Sports & Entertainment

It's no surprise that loads of the activities on offer take advantage of the beachy surroundings - from beach volleyball and sunrise yoga to tons of water activities, including snorkelling, kayaking, diving and dolphin-spotting. Still a die-hard pool fan? Don't worry, there's one right on site - so you can take a dunk and lay back on a sun lounger to your heart's content. For the little ones, there's a Junior Beach Club and Camp which is packed with activities for ages 4-15, which centres around two characters from Maldivian folklore - Koimala, the wise turtle prince, and Maalimi, the mythical black marlin (the fastest fish in the ocean). While the kids are loving life and getting creative, you are bound to love the on-site spa, which lives and breathes relaxation. There are loads of pamper treatments on offer, so you'll definitely be left feeling zen.

Transfers to the Maldives hotels are from Male International Airport via either domestic aircraft, seaplane, or speedboat. Luggage allowance varies depending on transfer type:

• Domestic aircraft (20kg hold luggage and 5kg hand luggage)

• Seaplane (20kg hold luggage and 5kg hand luggage)

• Speedboat (No luggage restrictions)

Immediately upon arrival at the airport, you will be met by either airport or hotel staff, who will escort you to your transfer departure point, and will be on hand to answer any questions you may have regarding transfers and timings. Please note that other flight arrivals or sudden changes in weather might mean you need to wait up to 3 hours before boarding the transfer.

If you’re travelling via seaplane, flights can only operate between 09:00 and 15:00. If you land in Male after 15:00, or if there are any sudden weather changes, you’ll need to stay overnight in an airport hotel. Don’t worry – if this is the case then we’ll be in touch to make the arrangements. It’s also worth noting that, like most holiday transfers, seaplanes will stop at multiple resorts on the way.
