Veligandu Maldives Resort Island

Imagine the most idyllic island with turquoise sea and that’s Veligandu

Nothing!

Zaha, our host, made everything perfect! It couldn’t been better! Andi, the barista, was the 5th star! It was absolutely perfect, all inclusive is recommend!

Dolphin tour should be part of AI Package and the tax policy isn’t transparent!

Dive center, beaches, new sunset pool villa

Host Zaha, limited variety of restaurants

Everything was perfect: food, staff, marine life, Sunset ocean villa

We had an amazing week, beyond words. The buffet is definitely a highlight: very high quality and diverse food, we looked forward to it every day. Especially the cake section, and the different cuisines! The house reef is not great but I knew that before booking - the snorkeling excursions more than make up for it, on the nurse sharks and turtle ones we were taken to some amazing reef nearby. The ocean centre staff goes above and beyond to make sure they find you that sealife. We also got to see plenty of marine life from our deck, sting rays, eagle rays, black tip sharks and jellyfish. We stayed in a sunset ocean villa and it was absolute perfection, it has a net where I spent many hours looking at the water. We tried the pool villas as well, but much preferred the original ones which had a more natural feel and were closer walking distance. Also loved the yoga pavilion, the gym and the massages. Spent a lot of time researching resorts and I chose Veligandu mainly because it seemed to tick most of my boxes, and it did - small size to not feel crowded and walkable everywhere, amazing food, gorgeous beach area, a range of activities and excursions, beautiful ocean villas, and reasonable price for what you get. Overall an amazing stay I will remember for the rest of my life, thank you for all the experiences!

We spent a long time waiting for the seaplane both ways, not the resort’s fault

Everything was amazing! The staff, the room, food, the drinks…. We visited for our honeymoon so it was particularly special but we absolutely loved our stay here Shaalee our lifestyle host was able to sort any queries or requests we had but all the staff were super helpful

Really minor but my main course during our beach dinner was pretty inedible (eggplant parmigiana) but as we were all inclusive I just ordered from the snacks menu at the bar later in the evening Every other meal was absolutely superb (especially as Raalhu restaurant so please don’t let this put you off)

Our host Ryan was fantastic! Always clear communication and using WhatsApp for questions and contact was incredible Food was amazing We stayed in both the sunset old and new water bungalows. Both are amazing, all depends on what you prefer. My husband just loved the new modern bungalows but the older ones are still lovely! One thing I would say is if there is a storm, you will sleep better in the modern huts due to the concrete pilling. There is wildlife everywhere! Seen so many sharks and fish. I did the shark dive and really recommend it.

More affordable drinks. One glass of wine is $16+ dollars and the staff who weren’t as well trained would have made it quite small pour. If your going to drink, would recommend doing the all inclusive Wish the water sports wasn’t as expensive. The diving was absolutely crazy and I am a fully qualified dive master and had to do a pre safety dive wish jumped the price up dramatically. ( this should be included )
