I chose Hilton Amingiri Maldives because I’m really familiar with Hilton’s outstanding service, having grown up in the Bay Area, California. We were visiting family in India, so how could I resist a short getaway with my husband to the Maldives? It’s just a 2-hour nonstop flight on Indigo Airlines from Bangalore, making it super convenient. Highly recommend visiting if you’re making a trip to India! The new 109-villa luxury Maldives resort opened in September 2022, and it’s just a 20 minute speedboat ride from the international airport. If you’re planning a Maldives vacation, Hilton Amingiri is definitely one of the best Maldives resorts for a luxury escape.

Getting to Hilton Amingiri: Seamless Travel to Your Island Escape

The Hilton Amingiri really kicks off as soon as you arrive at Malé airport. They handle all your roundtrip Hilton Amingiri transportation in-house, and you don’t even have to worry about paying until checkout! It’s a super smooth, quick 20-minute ride, so there’s no need to wait around in lounges. While the speedboat transfer is on the pricier side, it’s still cheaper than any seaplane transfer, and it’s totally worth it for such a smooth experience. If you’re wondering how to get to Hilton Amingiri, rest assured their ground staff find you almost instantly after deboarding. Since I was transferring from another Hilton property, they were right there to transfer my luggage as soon as my SAii Lagoon speedboat docked. If you’re looking for seamless Maldives resort access, the transfer from Malé to Hilton Amingiri couldn’t be easier and better coordinated!

Your Hilton experience starts right when they pick you up on their luxe speedboat with cookies and wifi!

Dining at Hilton Amingiri: Culinary Delights and World-Class Dining

The dining options at Hilton Amingiri are honestly next level. Whether you’re in the mood for international cuisine or want to dive into local Maldivian flavors, you’ll find it all here. For breakfast, Habitat is the place to be. They provide breakfast buffet for Hilton gold members. They serve everything from fresh tropical fruits to made-to-order omelets, and I have to say, their pastries are to die for! It’s the perfect way to start your day in paradise.

For something truly special, don’t miss the chef’s tasting menu at Origin. The dishes are beautifully presented, and the blend of Maldivian cuisine with global influences makes for an unforgettable fine dining experience. And if you just want something casual by the pool, the pool bar has you covered with light bites and refreshing cocktails—perfect for when you’re taking a break from swimming.

Hilton Amingiri had the best international cuisine I experienced during my visit. Their chefs are top-tier! I was honestly shocked by how well they made dosa and chutney, and then I found out their chef is Indian. Every Indian family hits that point where it’s either Indian food or nothing—usually around Day 4 or 5 of the vacation, haha. One of the hosts also makes an amazing ABC (Apple Beetroot Carrot) juice that I had every single morning.

Eden offered a whiskey-tasting experience that’s perfect for those who appreciate the finer things. The mixologist curated the perfect collection of chocolates for Abhi, a real chocolate connoisuer. 

We loved the “daily afternoon indulgence” at Sip Tea Lounge—it became a fun little ritual for us each afternoon. There were always a few other Gold and Diamond members hanging out, but we never had an issue finding a spot to chill next to the ocean. Every day, they had a different featured cocktail and mocktail, expertly crafted using freshly sourced ingredients. They also had all the regular alcoholic and nonalcoholic options – where Abhi got his beachside beer quota in.

From what we experienced (and noticed with other guests), you could totally enjoy more than just one drink from the special menu between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. It’s the perfect little perk to take advantage of if you need a little mid-day snack to hold you off until dinner!

Service & Hospitality: Unmatched Luxury and Warm Maldivian Welcome

The service at Hilton Amingiri really sets it apart from other luxury Maldives resorts. From the moment you arrive, you’re assigned a guest experience manager who’s basically your go-to person for anything you need. Whether it’s restaurant recommendations or setting up activities, they handle it all with a smile. Plus, I loved how they send you morning updates directly on WhatsApp—super convenient, especially when you’re lounging by the pool and don’t want to keep checking your phone for schedules.

The staff at Hilton Amingiri are incredibly attentive and always ready to help, but what’s even cooler is how multilingual they are. They make sure you’re matched with someone who speaks your language, whether it’s Russian, Mandarin, Hindi, or something else. It adds such a personal touch and really makes you feel at home. The overall hospitality is warm, welcoming, and definitely a 5-star standard.

The service here was my favorite. Everyone is so kind-hearted, and you can tell they truly enjoy working at Hilton Amingiri. A special shoutout to their Director of Operations, who makes the rounds daily to greet guests. He’s so involved, and with over 20 years in hospitality, his commitment to ensuring everyone has the best possible experience really shines through!
