Veligandu Maldives Resort Island

This place is PERFECT!!! Beautiful, peaceful, the perfect vacation. The food is excellent, and you can't beat the incredible snorkeling on the house reef. The best snorkeling we saw in the Maldives, right there on our own resort!

Loved the attention to detail. Everyone made us feel more than welcome; treated us like family. Food was good, over the water sunset villa was beyond amazing. Housekeeping was perfect. Thanks to our host Nabeel and also staff, like Nafees, Azam, Adam, Jaa that made our stay beyond exceptional. We will return!

The staff is very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The resort/island were beyond our expectations.

Amazing resort, amazing food and supernice staff

Of all my travel experiences, going to the Maldives was the most stress free and truly relaxing experience. And Veligandu Resort really made sure that was the case. The staff are super friendly, everyone always greets you as you pass by. The whole resort is very well organized. We didn't have to wait long for any of the services and the whole atmosphere was laid back and relaxing. My mom and I had a wonderful time staying at this resort. And the food is AMAZING. It's comparable to a really good restaurant in the city (I live in San Francisco). The drinks were really well mixed as well. There really is nothing to complain about this resort. The staff took care of us so that we didn't have to worry about anything. It was refreshing for a change to have such a stress free travels.

Excellent resort, clean rooms, professional staff, great for snorkeling and outdoor seating

First at all, don’t read the negative reviews, We been staying in soo many resorts around the world including 5 diamonds, but we never experience the quality of customer service of this one, First at all is not old as some of the reviews said, the rooms are good and the jet tub is amazing! We have the water chance every day and the check the room was with the highest standards of cleanest twice per day, we were there for our honeymoon and the staff prepare our rooms with a beautiful handmade decoration in the bed, plus they gave us a bottle of sparkling wine the first night to celebrate , a beautiful cake and a very nice gift. Gasim our concierge was above and beyond, every time I ask for something, Gasim make it happen right away the have our CoVID test ready and even they print copies for us, I can’t describe the level of attention and welcome that the staff gave us. Food was perfect every day the have a different buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner and every day is different, they have amazing desserts and a chef who grill your food as you prefer, we recommend full board is completely worthy and if you drink go all the way for all inclusive every dollar is worthy I promise. Water activities are really awesome, we did the jet skies and our tour give was with us all the time we feel so safe because he was showing us the way and how to do it. We had a lot of fun !! Is something that you don’t want to miss for sure

Our stay in Veligandu lived up to our expectations and exceeded them. The sunset water villa was over a shallow area where we could swim anytime, bordered by a reef alive with many fish for enjoyable snorkeling. The service at the resort is top notch, including the reception, restaurant, bar and spa. The resort took care of our every need with professionalism. We took a snorkeling trip, jet ski trip, and I went scuba diving. If you are lucky like I was, you can scuba under manta rays as they swim around you. We would easily go back to Veligandu. It seems to be smaller than many other Maldives resorts but is not lacking in quality or service.

The people were super courteous and nice and that is the main attraction for the island, apart from all the beautiful amenities on the island.

The hotel has made a great effort to create a 'normal' feeling under COVID restrictions and the staff were excellent, whilst maintaining protocol. The place itself is an older Island but with great natural beaches and reefs (unlike the new man made ones). We prefer the more natural Island experience, hence this was great for us. Great reef for snorkeling and calm beaches for swimming. I was surprised at how goo a condition the reef was in and there was an abundance of marine life. Food was excellent quality and there was a good choice of western and local options (under COVID restrictions). However the breakfast choice was somewhat limited (compared to the lunch and dinner options). Only blemish on the trip (for my wife) was that there was no shower cap - which is more necessary if you're in and out of the sea all the time... :)
