Located on a private island of Huvahendhoo in South Ari Atoll, Lily Beach Resort & Spa is recognized as a leading 5-star All-Inclusive resort in the Maldives and in the world. The resort features its own unique and elevated concept of unpretentious luxury with its generous all-inclusive plan. The plan includes far more than the traditional package of cocktails, premium brands, champagne, and international culinary delights. It adds value with its complementary activities such as one group yoga session with a Yoga Expert, and up to three excursions, which can be selected from fun options such as sunset cruise, fishing trip, and coral garden snorkeling.

Good Food and Enjoyable Activities are the main pillars of the resort. In terms of dining, Lily Beach continues to reinvent culinary offerings to stay abreast of trends in dining experiences, beverages, and presentations – especially with its renowned buffet restaurant: Lily Maa. Rejuvenating therapies are offered at the resort’s picturesque over-water spa pavilions at Tamara Spa and a bevy of recreation activities are available at the resort to be active after all that dining. These experiences include weight training and cardio at the gym or having a leisurely game of football or tennis. Additionally, the resort also provides snorkeling equipment and has a beautiful house reef and nearby access to more than 50 awesome dive sites just a stone’s throw away from the resort’s vicinity. All these experiences and more await at Lily Beach Resort & Spa, only a short 25-minute seaplane journey from Velana International Airport.

Looking to invest in a luxury oceanfront property in the Maldives that offers a perfect blend of lifestyle, exclusivity, and financial return? The Coral Residences at Kandima Maldives presents a rare opportunity to own a five-star serviced apartment on the sun-kissed shores of Dhaalu Atoll. Scheduled for completion in early 2026, this unique real estate offering invites you to enjoy private ownership while gaining full access to the experiences and amenities of one of the Maldives’ most dynamic island resorts. Whether you seek a stylish holiday escape or a high-yield investment, The Coral Residences aims to deliver both.

Developed by Pulse Hotels & Resorts, a hospitality brand renowned for its intelligent, guest-focused concepts, The Coral Residences benefits from the backing of Deep Blue Private Limited, a leading force in Maldivian tourism and infrastructure. With a track record that includes award-winning resorts, Dhaalu Airport, and Manta Air, the development rests on solid expertise, thus ensuring long-term value and peace of mind for discerning investors.

What Makes The Coral Residences Unique?

The Coral Residences forms an integrated beachfront community of 40 exclusive two- and three-bedroom apartments designed for modern island living. Each home offers uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean, thoughtfully planned interiors, and expansive terraces perfect for soaking in tropical sunsets.

Key Features at a Glance:

2 or 3-bedroom apartments (215–250 sqm)
Panoramic oceanfront views
Exclusive pool and club house access
Contemporary interiors with natural light
Generous outdoor terraces and balconies

These residences lie along Kandima’s northern shoreline, offering privacy while keeping you connected to the island’s vibrant lifestyle.

Ownership That Works for You

Owners receive strata title leasehold ownership, which the Maldivian government registers and renews under local regulations. The developer sells apartments on a fully maintained, hassle-free basis. Furthermore, owners can resell or transfer their units, subject to the lease terms.

Your Benefits as an Owner:

30 days of complimentary use annually
Rental income while you’re away (mandatory program)
Minimum guaranteed return of 6% for 5 years
No maintenance or operating costs
Quarterly payouts, net of expenses
Full use of Kandima’s resort facilities

Ownership also includes lifestyle and investment perks designed specifically for international buyers.

Can You Earn Income from Your Property?

Yes. Apartments enroll in a mandatory rental program that generates income whenever you are not in residence. This program guarantees a 6% net return for five years. After that period, owners continue to earn a 50% share of pooled rental revenue.

Moreover, Kandima Maldives manages every aspect of property ownership, from guest bookings to maintenance, so you enjoy a fully passive investment with consistent income potential.

Owner Usage and Stay Privileges

Owners of the Coral Residences at Kandima receive 30 complimentary nights annually, including up to 7 nights during peak season (Dec 22 – Jan 15). You must book these stays in advance (180 to 365 days depending on season). Additionally, you may transfer your entitlement to friends or family upon request.

This usage structure ensures that you enjoy the property personally while maximizing its rental performance.
