Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa

This is my second visit to Vilamendhoo and would strongly recommend as a value for money resort. Both visits we have had a water bungalow and it has been delightful watching the sunsets and the marine life. Diving is excellent ... still haven't seen a whale shark so it looks like I will be going for a third visit.

We went snorkeling everyday on the reef that surrounds the island. Every day we saw something new. On the excursions we were very lucky and swum with turtles, manta rays & a whale shark. The food is plentiful although the spice in the local dishes has been reduced to cater for the masses. In the evenings there are some scheduled events and the bar is open until late. Make sure you have adequate holiday insurance as you will be required to sign a waiver.

great value! yes, we are planning to return. EuroDivers are the bomb! If you want a diving resort of great value, this is it. the whale sharks and manta rays are awesome to dive/snorkel with.

Spent three amazing nights at Vilamendhoo Island. My wife and I are marine biologist and one of the reasons we choose this resort was to see whale sharks. Not only we saw two whale sharks, we also saw manta ray, eagle ray and lots of sharks. I wouldn't hesitate to go back and spend another few qualitydays at this resort!

Lovely island, great reef

This is really worth spending money for. Please go to this report if you want to have overall Maldives experience

Good location, nice staffs, good services. I’ve great experience at this resort. If you find the place to make you feel comfortable and nice experience in Maldives, this resort is a choice for you. :)

This hotel is next level perfection. The photos online don't do it justice it's just so beautiful. We booked an overwater villa and it was a great size with all the amenities you could ever need. There is nowhere else I would stay or recommend for the Maldives, this place has it all and you won't be disappointed.

We researched for a long time on which resorts to stay at in the Maldives, We finally chose Vilamendhoo as one of them because of the reviews, pricing and location. We were extremely satisfied with our stay! We enjoyed the 20-25 min seaplane ride ($360 pp/rt) over the beautiful blue water to get there from the airport. The snorkeling was really good thanks to the house reef. The accommodations, service and activities were all good. I highly recommend Vilamendho Island Resort and Spa.

Had a generally good time in this resort. Good food. Staff are courteous and accommodating. Room is clean and nice. The seaplane ride is an experience in itself! It's amazing seeing the plane take off and land on water. Water is nice, especially those near the water cottages. It's good to just walk down the stairs to your own beach from your unit. And the water is so clear! Even if there are others in the resort, didn't feel there's too many as there's enough space for everyone. It's just unfortunate that the group beside our unit is a bit loud, but that was bearable. I liked the hammock in front of our room. Could have stayed there all day! Too bad we didn't know about an all-inclusive option that included drinks. We would have gotten that deal. As we were a big group, they accommodated our request for a snorkeling trip even if it wasn't scheduled, and i had the best snorkeling trip ever - whale sharks, turles and manta rays in one day, with a bonus visit to a local island - the highlight of our trip! Overall a good experience! Would definitely recommend to friends and family!
