Maldives travel experts come in: Comparison between Lily Island and Ayada Island
I am not an expert on Lily Island, but I know something about it. If you need stability and no accidents, choose Lily Island.
As we all know, Ayada Island is a new island with a lot of bad reviews on tripadvisor. Problems such as mosquitoes, allergies, and chaotic management are very serious. In addition, a Chinese died in January. This is why 2012 The off-season discount prices are so favorable, and they are indeed very favorable. There seems to be HB and free pick-up and drop-off from May to July. It is really very favorable for a water island. If you are going to the Maldives for the first time and want to experience luxury, you can try it. Go to Ayada, because you haven’t been to many islands, so you can’t compare the service gap. The services in the Maldives are not bad, but I can only say that Ayada’s service (the luxury of the room type must be five-star haha) does not reach five-star. The level and service are far behind park hyatt.
Geographical location: Lily Island and Ayada are both in the southern part of the Maldives. Lily is in the south-central part of the Maldives. Ayada, JD, Park Hyatt, Robinson, and Shangri-La are the southernmost islands. Why do we talk about geographical location? , because the period after May is the rainy season. In May, there is less rain in the central part (Male is the center). From June to July, it rains the least in the south, average in the central part, and a lot of rain in the north.
But because Ayada is much further away than Lily, theoretically speaking, there may be less rain in Ayada.
Food: The food in the Maldives is really not that good, but ayada is definitely more expensive than Lily. I don’t know if Lily’s discount is available at hb, but ayada has it. It is recommended to bring something to eat at noon, otherwise you will check out. Dumbfounded.
The cost of water activities should be about the same. Anyway, Five Star Island is expensive, so you must prepare the money.
Snorkeling: Although Ayada is in the southernmost part, aquatic life should be rich, but I heard that when the hotel was built, the corals were destroyed on a large scale. It is not very good, but it should be better than many islands, but compared to There is definitely a big difference between Robinson and park hyatt. The snorkeling at Lily Island is also moderate.
Summary: If you are afraid of problems such as service, go to Lily Island. If you think you can handle it yourself, go to Ayada.
Regarding the weather, I wish you good luck. I hope the Chinese will have sunny weather every day when they go to the Maldives!
