Guest Reviews
- Aastha (10/5): - The staff was very helpful and hospitable. The rooms were clean and the breakfast in bed was the cherry on the top.
The location is also at the centre of the island so its walkable. Nothing. Everything was good.
- Lorenzo (9/5): - Staff sempre a disposizione. Da provare la cena organizzata sulla spiaggia a base di Aragosta e pesce super fresco
- Antonina (10/5): -
- Luigino (8/5): I ragazzi che lavorano in questa struttura sono tutti educati e disponibili !!! -
- Estefania (9/5): A cozy, comfortable beach hotel in the Maldives with clean beaches and lovely breakfasts by the sea. - We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy little hotel. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely comfortable and welcomed. The hotel is small and intimate, which made the whole experience feel peaceful and personal.
Our room was just steps from the beach, and one of our favorite moments each day was having breakfast set up right in front of our room on the beach side. Enjoying fresh food with the ocean view was simply perfect.
Everything was nicely done, from the cleanliness of the room to the thoughtful details throughout the property. The beaches were very clean, the water crystal clear, and the island itself felt like a little paradise.
If you’re looking for a relaxing, comfortable stay in a stunning setting, we can definitely recommend this place. We would happily come back again!
- Sanja (10/5): Väldigt bra - Väldigt fint boende. God mat. Monda hjälpte oss med att förlänga vårt boende till flera dagar samt planera in snorkling och båtturer. 10/10 poäng!
- Antonio (10/5): - La posizione vicinissima al mare
- Lorena (6/5): -
- Kristina (10/5): Perfect stay right on the beach - Veli Vilaa was the perfect stay for our family at 6. The house was well situated with 4 nice rooms with their own separate bathroom and right at the beach. The staff was helpful and cook Saif made delicious dinner for us. The manager Monda helped us with arrangements for a snorkeling trip to the coral garden and booking tickets for the boat trip back to Malé.
There is a lot of options for eating out but a good amount of patience is needed as the food takes time to be prepaired.
We would definitely consider coming back. It is sad to see the amount of trash that floats in the sea and lying on the streets. The locals don’t seem to care about it.
- Omar (9/5): -
- patricia (9/5): geweldige locatie, hartelijk ontvangst, het team staat altijd voor je klaar. - de locatie van Veli Vilaa, was zeer goed, de kamers hebben een tuintje dat direct aan het strand grenst. zeer leuke ontvangst door het hele Veli Vilaa team. iets meer variatie in het ontbijt.
- Waltenberger (10/5): Traumhaft schöner Urlaub auf einer einheimischen Insel. Wir werden wieder kommen - Die Größe des Zimmers sowie die kleine eigene Terrasse und der Privatstrand war sehr chillig.
Sujon kümmerte sich sehr um unser Wohlbefinden Es gab nichts negatives Auszusetzen
- Arianna (5/5): - Location direttamente sulla spiaggia Non pulitissima
- jamelah (8/5): - الموقع والاطلالة على البحر واعجبني سعة الغرف ،، الفيلا عباره عن اربع غرف منفصله كل غرفه تفتح للخارج اذا حجزتها كلها يكون لك جزء من الخصوصية ، المشرفين على الفيلا متواجدين طوال اليوم ويقدمون خدماتهم بلطف لا يوجد مطبخ خاص فقط مساحة لتقديم بوفيه الافطار من يرغب بالطبخ الخاص فيه يحضر قدر كهربائي او موقد
- Dorcus (10/5): Little villa with a resort feeling - The location was exceptional 👌. The staff were too kind and the services were excellent! Nothing
- Dejan (9/5): Amazing stay at Veli Vilaa - We had great stay at Veli Vilaa. Everything was organized great and staff was very polite and always easy to contact. They provided all things needed and also organized our exursions. They also managed our transport from and to airport.
Breakfast was nice and tasty.
Beach was just in front of our vila and that was amazing.
Special thanks to our host Monda Everything was great
- Ines (9/5): - Die Lage ist traumhaft. 🥰Ganz kurzer Weg, vom Bett ins Meer 🤗 so wie es auf dem Bild zu sehen ist. Schöner kleiner privater Strand. Prima Terrasse mit schönen Sitzmöbeln, tolle Sonnenuntergänge. Geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Zimmer und alles sauber. Was fehlt sind Liegen mit Auflagen, eine wurde für uns organisiert.
Das Frühstück war etwas einseitig, aber frisch zubereitet, auch mit Frucht und Saft. 3 Frühstücke gab es zur Wahl. Wir aßen jeden Tag dasselbe, die anderen waren nichts für uns. Leckere Küche, für kleine Speisen zwischendurch. Der Koch zauberte immer frisches und gut schmeckendes Essen. Sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites und immer verfügbares Personal im ganzen Haus. Vielen lieben Dank für alles👍
Mein Traum war, ins Meer gehen und am Strand die bunte, vielfältige Unterwasserwelt genießen zu können, wie ich es vor 20 Jahren kennengelernt hatte. Dies war leider nicht so. Riff, Korallen kaputt und ganz wenige Fische. Man muss erst einen Schnorchelausflug draußen im Meer am Riff machen. Leider nimmt man auf der Insel auch das Müllproblem noch nicht ernst. Jede freie Stelle wird bebaut, sogar mit zu hohen Hotels, und der Müll liegt rings um die Insel und im Meer verteilt rum. Aber innerhalb der Insel und die Wege ist alles sauber. Schade das man das Paradies immer noch nicht schützt und so mit der Natur umgeht.
Es war ein ganz toller Urlaub. Und die private Unterkunft kann ich auf jedenfall weiterempfehlen. 👍
- Nurashikin (10/5): - Sea view
- Anthony (10/5): - The staff is incredible
- Peirce (10/5): Quiet, private tropical paradise! - Beautifully relaxing! Super quiet. Lovely to be on the sand within 4 seconds of getting out of bed, and in the ocean within 10 seconds. Accommodation was clean, new looking, bright and airy. Staff Monda, Sujon and another quiet fellow were all lovely! Provided Maldivian breakfast was fresh and yummy. Plenty of nice cafes and restaurants around the island for lunch and dinner. Really well stocked mini supermarket 1 minute walk away - prices were reasonable. Many 'bikini' beach's to choose from - all as stunning as the last. 5 or 6 days here would be perfect with a few off island excursions (we loved the dolphin cruise and snorkeling at Turtle Island). Take cash - only one ATM on the island with very high bank fees. There was nothing to dislike. :) Keep in mind this is a local island and home to many culturally conservative people so take clothes to cover your swimmers if you are not on the beach.
- Fatin (10/5): Loved it 10/10 - Wonderful hospitality. Mohan the manager was helpful and prompt with his replies. Special mention to his workers Sujan, Abdullah and Saif who took care of the villa and us guests well during our stay. Had a jellyfish sting incident and the staff went out of their way to assist me and ensured my safety. View of villa was immaculate. Daily sunsets. Would definitely recommend for those who are travelling to Dhiffushi island in maldives.
- JOYCE EI MEI (10/5): Plus point, Monda and the team is one of the greatest bunch we’ve met in any vacation! Friendly, attentive and nice food - Cosy, warm and the beach at your doorstep. Plus point, Monda and the team is one of the greatest bunch we’ve met in any vacation! Nothing
- Julia Maria (10/5): -
- Raúl (10/5): Perfecta - Alojamiento perfecto frente a la playa con zona de chill out en la orilla. Habitación limpia y bien ubicada. Monda y su equipo nos atendieron durante la estancia y eran muy amables y serviciales, siempre preguntando si necesitábamos cualquier cosa. Puedes reservar actividades con ellos como ver tortugas, mantas o tiburones nodriza. Buen precio de las actividades y los chicos con los que hacíamos las actividades muy amables también. No es recomendable meterte en el mar directo desde la habitación, pero lo bueno que para meterte está al lado, a menos de 1 minuto andando.
- Anniek (10/5): Perfect stay - The room was very nice, the breakfast great and we did some snorkeling tours, also really great. It was for us a perfect few days in a great hotel, nice and quiet. The sunset is beautifull at the hotel beach!
Small tip: after 20:00 you can see the stingrays and small sharks on the north side of the island. And the southwest beach is really quiet The hotel is perfect, keep in mind that there is no alcohol on the island because its a local island. We found it quiet nice, not to much tourist
The trash on the island is a downside, the whole island needs to clean it a bit better.
- IVAN (10/5): -
- Emma (9/5): - We loved our stay at Veli Vilaa - the location is absolutely stunning and we felt so welcome. All of the double bedrooms have gorgeous views and easy access to the private beach at the back of the guesthouse, where you can swim or just enjoy the views. The friendly staff were always on hand to organise excursions or help you out, and we really felt like it was a home from home during our stay. It's the sort of place you go back to again and again, and we were so happy we opted to stay here rather than one of the bigger hotels on the island. Being a smaller guesthouse there obviously isn't evening entertainment or a big restaurant, but you can go to any of the other hotels if that's what you want - and they do have a small but delicious menu for room service if you want to eat in. The breakfasts, while delicious, did get a bit repetitive after a while. There is also a lot more seaweed on the private beach compared to the rest of the island - it didn't bother us at all, but felt worthy of mention.
- Rakesh (10/5): Everything was perfect: the villa next to the beautiful see, the beach, the excursions and also the service was perfect! -
- Bence (10/5): Amazing little paradise in heaven. - We spending 11 nights in the beach villa room. The room was very comfortable and clean, perfect for us. The best was the private beach area opposite the rooms with white sands of course. We have never been met this kind of staff members all over the world, whom worked there. it was a very good impression to us. That reason why we are thinking about go back there again. Mundy is a best hospitality and all crew member were really friendly and respectfull with my family until the whole time.. They fulfill our all wishes. We would like to thank you again separatly the attitude and work of Sujan and Abdullah as well. Whom could gain smile and laugh over and over again to our little daugther's face. Of course if was need they play with our daugther or joked with her or help any kind of problem or question. We could ask anything there were not impossible for them. That was amazing and unbeliveable holiday and forever will be a good memory for us, We could not say anything wrong.
- Paolomassa (10/5): Relax in a truly genuine Maldivian Hospitality at Veli Vilaa - Our experience at Veli Vilaa, nestled on the enchanting island of Dhiffushi, was simply unforgettable and utterly breathtaking. The villa's direct beachfront location works its magic the moment you arrive, instantly melting away every trace of the journey. All that remains is you, the mesmerizing ocean, and a delightful flurry of hermit crabs and other crabs in every imaginable shape, size, and vibrant color, scuttling playfully across the powdery white sand.
The villa itself is thoughtfully designed with four bedrooms, each boasting a private bathroom and separate entrance. Two rooms are situated on the ground floor, featuring expansive glass doors that open directly onto the beach, comfort reigns supreme within the villa. The spaces are clean, invitingly comfortable, and the bathrooms are spacious and equipped with showers.
Out on the beach, you'll discover swings, hammocks, cozy daybeds, and everything you could possibly desire to while away the hours in blissful idleness, gently lulled by the soothing melody of the sea until the spectacular sunset paints the sky.
However, what truly elevates a stay at Veli Vilaa to something extraordinary are the people. Sujon, the head of staff, and Monda, the villa manager, were absolutely fantastic. They were consistently available, always smiling, and remarkably attentive to our every need.
We also must mention the incredible Shimul, the chef, who delighted us every morning with tasty fresh fruit juices and was always ready to prepare delicious meals at any time we requested.

Thank you, Veli Vilaa staff!
We sincerely hope to return soon!
- Xiaolin (10/5): It’s such a great stay, we would definitely come back again in the future. - We really enjoyed our stay in Veli Vilaa, such a beautiful peaceful and lovely hotel. Our room is literally beach front. The beach is really clean, staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Every request we have asked them for, they have always helped us. Monda is a great manager, always respond to my queries and so helpful. So does Saif and other staff, they are all so friendly. One day my husband wanted to have Redbull, Saif offered to get him, he is so kind and friendly. We had the best time and memory in beautiful Maldives as a family of 3.
- Zsofia (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing staff, convinient room and gourgeus beach Wheather - january too much rain
- Mark (9/5): A lovely Maldivian island - The villa was located in a nice area with its own beach which was good, the staff were excellent, especially Saif. Unfortunately some of the locals didn't respect their island's cleanliness and throw food waste and rubbish into the sea. Also it doesn't have its own house reef so snorkelling is not very good.
- Satish (6/5): Pleasant -
- Niina (10/5): A fantastic stay. - Everything. None.
- Aiman (10/5): Exceptional -
- Edward (9/5): Superb -
- Fazluddin (10/5): I highly recommend booking Veli Vilaa - I booked this guest house for my father and his friends. Honestly, I was not there myself, but according to my father's feedback, the apartment was very clean, and the staff was friendly. They enjoyed their time at Veli Vilaa. The beach is about 20-30 meters from the building, making it feel like a private beach area.
However, please note that there are no twin beds in the sea-view villa apartment, only double beds.
I highly recommend staying at Ahmed's facility and enjoying your time in the Maldives, especially on Dhiffushi Island.
Thank you for being so supportive, Ahmed and his staff! Nothing
Please note that you are also required to pay the green tax per the Maldives' rules.
- Khairatul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jennifer (8/5): Very good -
- Nur (9/5): A beautiful place where time just flows slower. - Service provided were outstanding, the host and butlers really went out of their way to make sure our needs and wants are met, and that we’re safe when doing any activities. Private beach was beautiful and was such a serene place to spend time both alone and together. The lights in some bathrooms were flickering but even then, they helped to repair them at night. Common areas are all outdoors, so going to them while it was raining can be a bit difficult. However, we were lucky that we slept in only 3 rooms and used the last room for all of us to chill, and dry out clothes indoors.
