Veligandu Maldives Resort Island

Rhianna Thomson

Incredible honeymoon in the Maldives! What a resort Veligandu is and I promise you won’t regret booking. I did a lot of research into resort islands and what we’d want out of a day 10 day stay. Firstly the villas are incredible and only built last year so very modern but a cozy feel. The facilities are excellent - spa, padel court, games room, main pool, bars, restaurants all 10 out of 10. We did the teppanyaki experience which was incredible but not included in the all inclusive package but that is clearly advertised. Highly recommend getting the app before you go so that you can do all your restaurant bookings as these fill up very quickly. When you arrive you’re assigned a host and we were very lucky to get Dilara who was just wonderful - she text us every morning with the weather, what activities were on and what bookings we had. What a lovely and friendly person - always super helpful and responsive. I honestly didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back. A real review can’t be real unless there was 1 thing that wasn’t right… so if I had to give one negative it’s that the Maldives doesn’t have very good coffee so order a triple shot!!! Shoutout to Nabeel our daily cleaner who was just great and works very hard to keep a strong standard for each villa.

All in all, it's a beautiful island and the service was good. That's why it's difficult to find anything to criticize when comparing it to other 5-star hotels. The difference becomes quite clear, and Veligandu is still in a transitional phase to becoming a resort that truly offers 5-star luxury. We actually have a few points that we didn't like so much, maybe some of them could be implemented. The house reef tour should be organized by the hotel free of charge, advertising for the island when promoting the house reef. Fresh fruit should be available in the gym, which is actually part of what you expect from a good hotel. Cocktails are never served with small snacks such as nuts, even budget resorts offer this. Overall, you simply notice a difference in the little things, but these make a big difference compared to better resorts. In general, you also get the feeling that it's like a game with the motto “pay to win,” where you have to pay for everything to fully relax. We were particularly shocked by the drinks prices and the price of the whale shark tour.

The ocean and the island would have been enough. But! Such wonderful hospitality is almost impossible to find. Thank you to all the staff and managers! You are the best! Tatyana was especially helpful! Always available. Always kind. She anticipates all our difficulties. I wish her happiness! I hope to return to you 🌹

We stayed in Veligandu for a week and it was the best holiday we've ever had. Everything was thought out to the smallest detail. It has an incredible atmosphere and smiling staff. Especially Julia helped us a lot in every way. I also wanted to thank her from here. The food was perfect, the chefs were great and I have a sensitive stomach and it didn't bother me at all. The diving team was also perfect. It was a great experience. I definitely recommend it. We stayed in the ocean villa, the view was beautiful and the cleaning was very good. Thank you very much to the whole team for this great experience. And also many greetings to my friend Shujau.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay! The villa was amazing, clean, and very comfortable. The villa host Maoly was extremely kind, welcoming, and attentive, making the whole experience even more special. The housekeeper Abdullah did an excellent job keeping the rooms spotless and well-prepared every day. The buffet was fantastic with delicious food, and the staff working there were so friendly, polite, and always ready to help for sure special thanks for Abdullah who made healthy fresh juice for 5 days 😂. Everything about this place exceeded my expectations—I truly had a perfect stay and would highly recommend it to everyone!
