About this site
Lilly Beach Channel lies within the Ari Atoll, a large atoll in the central Maldives known for its channels between reef flats and lagoons that connect to the open ocean. Sites named for resorts like Lilly Beach are typically house reef or channel dives accessed directly from the island itself. The Ari Atoll region sits west of Male atoll and is reached by seaplane or boat transfer from the capital.
