Kuda Villingili Resort, an award-winning luxury resort and home to the largest pool in
the Maldives, has once again enhanced its already opulent offerings. These new
features, which include adding pools to the sunset water villas, transforming the resort
into an all-pool destination, introducing Teppanyaki dining to its diverse gourmet
offerings, and unveiling a brand new padel tennis court, are part of the resort’s vision
to continuously enhance the guest experience on the private island.
As Kuda Villingili celebrates three years of luxury hospitality, the resort has redefined
time and space for discerning guests with its meticulously designed accommodations,
seven exclusive dining options, a world-class surf break and unforgettable guest
experiences.
With these exciting upgrades, a stunning 10-meter infinity-edge pool has been added
to the existing 16 sunset water villas, offering guests an idyllic spot to relax and take in
uninterrupted vistas of the sunset across the Indian Ocean.
Praised for exceptional and diverse culinary experiences, Kuda Villingili Resort is among
the handful of resorts offering Nikkei cuisine in the Maldives. The private island’s
signature restaurant, Mar-Umi, proudly showcases the exquisite flavours of the
Japanese and Peruvian cultural exchange. This year’s enhancements also bring more
flavour and sizzle to Mar-Umi, with the addition of a new teppanyaki table
accommodating up to eight guests. The menu features sustainably and locally sourced
ingredients, ensuring a dining experience that is not only ethically responsible but also
incredibly delicious. The resort’s signature restaurant, Mar-Umi, offers a carefully
curated Sake collection that perfectly pairs with every dish. The Teppanyaki
experience is available for lunch and dinner, offering thoughtfully created set menus.
Sports and recreational enthusiasts will be thrilled to discover a newly added padel
tennis court along with the two floodlit tennis courts, volleyball, futsal ground, state-ofthe-art gym and an Olympic size pool —an already extensive collection of recreational
and wellness options in Kuda Villingili. As a racket sport increasingly popular among
luxury travellers, padel tennis offers a comprehensive physical challenge, ideal for a
serious two-person workout or an enjoyable family bonding activity.
“At Kuda Villingili, we are committed to enhancing the guest experience by continually
responding to ever-changing industry trends and consumer demands, with the goal of
exceeding expectations of our discerning guests. By adding spacious outdoor pools to
our Sunset Water Villas, we aim to offer guests the ultimate in luxury and privacy.
Additionally, the new Teppanyaki experience provides a uniquely interactive and
delectable dining option, making our gastronomic offerings even more exciting than it
already is. We look forward to welcoming guests to our island paradise to experience
these new redefined facilities creating once in a lifetime memories with their loved
ones” said Amjad Thaufeeq, Commercial Director of Kuda Villingili Resort, Maldives.
Reflecting on Kuda Villingili’s remarkable achievements and unwavering commitment
to excellence, in early 2024 the resort earned the prestigious Green Globe Certification,
underscoring its dedication to sustainability practices and community engagement
while preserving the natural beauty of the Maldives for generations to come.
In addition to this significant accomplishment, The Fire Restaurant at Kuda Villingili has
been honoured with The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. With the title in hand, it
demonstrates Kuda Villingili’s commitment to providing a premium dining experience
for guests, as well as the extensive wine options available. Additionally, Kuda Villingili
received a nomination for the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2024,
highlighting its reputation as a top destination for luxury travellers.
Kuda Villingili Resort consistently surpasses expectations and eagerly awaits the arrival
of guests to discover an ever-evolving island paradise, whether it is to relax in private
infinity pools with dreamy views, or to venture on a gourmet journey while sipping on
award-winning wine collections or to simply rejuvenate on a private island spa.
