View DealI wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to Muzaina From Lily Tours for organizing what can only be described as a once-in-a-lifetime holiday to the Maldives. The accommodations were breathtaking, the itinerary was perfectly balanced, and every transfer, excursion, and reservation was seamless. It was clear the team truly understood what makes a vacation special—they listened to our preferences and elevated them beyond our expectations. Thank you for such amazing service, genuine hospitality, and for turning our holiday into a beautiful story we'll be telling for years to come. I can’t wait to plan the next journey with you!
Unforgettable Experience – Exceptional Service! Our trip to the Maldives was nothing short of magical, and that’s largely thanks to the incredible team at Lily Travels. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless — the planning, the transfers, the activities, and the hospitality were all top-notch. Our guide Mr Jason was not only knowledgeable and professional, but also warm, friendly, and passionate about sharing the local culture and hidden gems. We felt completely taken care of, and every moment exceeded our expectations. If you’re planning a trip to the Maldives, we highly recommend booking through this agency — they truly go above and beyond to make your dream vacation a reality.
Just returned back from the most amazing holiday at Siyam World. Personally want to thank Jason for his white glove literally hand holding service that he provided. My heart was set on joining my family on this trip and Jason helped answer all my questions (I had many) provided me with a very competitive quote and had the fastest response turnaround times to messages. Its always nerve wrecking booking with a company you do not know but Jason was very attentive and helped put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Lily tours and will not only book with them again but also refer Jason to all our friends and family. Already thinking of our next trip :)
We contacted Lily Tours Maldives for a vacation for my family. They were a great help in suggesting the right resort, considering the activities for kids, and booking the dates for us. The resort was an amazing one with great facilities and wonderful staff. We were well received on our arrival at the airport by Lily Tour staff, Ms. Sherbeth, and guided us to our perfect holiday. I must say that the experience was beyond my expectations and the arrangements made by Lily Tours and Oaga resort were amazing, which made our holiday the most memorable one.
We would like to thank Lily Tours in the Maldives for organizing our honeymoon. It is truly a paradise on Earth. We had an amazing time. Lily Tours is always willing to help and took great care of us throughout our stay. We highly recommend their services to everyone. We will definitely be back! 🌴☀️
We have got in touch with Ms Muzaina to book our four day Maldives trip with Lily Tours based on few recommendations from our close friends. I must say that she did not disappoint us. She was exceptionally professional in her approach providing us with all the necessary information and details whilst trying to accommodate all our requests with the hotel. Her presence at the Male Airport gave us comfort and confidence that we are in safe hands. She even surprised my daughter and wife with flowers at the airport 💐
Thank you to Lily Tours Maldives, and special thanks to Muzaina for the excellent service and continuous care. Our accommodation and all types of transportation — from Malé to Kandima and back — were arranged perfectly. We were warmly welcomed, the resort was beautiful, and the transportation was excellent.
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Lily Tours Maldives for arranging such a fantastic trip.

She was incredibly accommodating and friendly throughout the entire process. As for Sun Siyam Olhuveli Resort, it was simply breathtaking. The resort is absolutely stunning and well worth the visit. Our villa was immaculate, and the staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming. The food was exquisite, and the amenities were top-notch and modern. We had a truly amazing time, and it was a wonderful experience all around. I’d love to return one day 🇲🇻🇲🇻🇲🇻
