Amazing resort, amazing snorkelling & Pickleball. What dreams are made of An Unforgettable Maldives Escape at Veligandu Veligandu Resort & Spa delivered one of the absolute best holidays we’ve ever had in the Maldives. Having previously visited Dusit Thani, Amilla, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, Sun Siyam World, Lily Beach, NH Collection Havodda, and Sun Siyam Olhuveli, we set a high bar. Veligandu easily rates right at the very top of that list alongside Dusit Thani the only two islands out of eight we would ever consider returning to. Our stay in Room 224, a Sunset Overwater Pool Villa, was nothing short of extraordinary. Waking up to those views and spending evenings by the private pool made for a seamless paradise experience. The hotel rooms are beautifully designed, the food across all dining outlets was incredible, and every member of the staff went above and beyond. A very special mention goes to Naveen, our host, who looked after us with exceptional care and made sure every detail of our stay was perfect. For underwater enthusiasts, this island is phenomenal: Snorkeling: Simply world-class. We saw more marine life and rays here than on any other island, including a rare sighting of a porcupine ray. Scuba Diving: The diving is unbeatable. Madivaru Corner was, without a doubt, the best dive site we have ever done in the Maldives. A standout feature for us was the covered pickleball court. Having protection from the tropical sun meant we could play morning and night every single d

Everything was absolutly amazing. Especially Wendy was great - always around but never to pushy/intrusive. Rooms & Facilities feel new and on a high standard. Absolutly recommending the Ocean Pool Villas and the direct entry of the house riff. You can see sharks, stingrays and eagle sharks as well as a lot of other fishs.

We stayed for three nights in an overwater bungalow on the sunset side and were blessed with great weather, allowing us to enjoy beautiful sunsets every day. Since we chose the all-inclusive plan, we were able to fully enjoy our stay without worrying about costs. The optional snorkeling tour was also wonderful, as we got to swim with many fish. All the staff were very friendly and pleasant, making our stay truly wonderful and memorable. I hope to visit again someday.

Holiday with my wife.

This is probably the most best of the Maldivian Island resorts, we had a beach fronted villa which was very private and perfectly appointed. We stayed for 5 nights after having been in Thailand for 11 days, for us 5 days was enough as all you can do is relax do a bit of water activity and walk round the Island which took 15 minutes.

Disliked: Amenities
Staff - Very friendly and helpful . I was assigned a lifestyle host that was super helpful and convenient throughout the trip. Food & Drinks - you will always be well fed if you have all inclusive. Although taste wasn't that great. Activities - quite a bit of water sports, indoor sports and outdoors . Things to look out for: Even in All Inclusive package, prepare yourself to spend another 1/4 of package price for activities and rest of the things. Water sports that are included in the package and next to none, for anything worth experiencing like Jet ski, snorkeling, and scuba diving, you will have to pay decent amount. Spa - only included if you are staying 7 or more nights. Complimentary photography - the photographer will be given to you for 30 minutes as a complimentary, HOWEVER, only one printed photo will be given, rest of the photo will not be given unless you pay up not even digital photos. Point being, is that everything is very smartly packaged to get you to spend good amount of money even in all inclusive. Kudos to folks who planned it but at some point it felt like they were banking on your emotions given that most people there are on honeymoon and will be helpless but to spend.

I do not usually write reviews however Veligandu is an absolute gem! The island is breathtaking, the staff and service feels so personalised, the food is amazing and the weather unbelievable! My girlfriend and I are talking about our stay everyday since we got back. The island has everything to offer, we had quite relaxed days on the beach, incredible snorkelling with turtles and reef sharks to great party nights at the hotels bar. We cannot wait to go back next year although we will have to wait until after the renovations.

I should've been did this review in Sept 2021 when went for our honeymoon Rm 262. I seem to can't get this place out of my head and want to go back. Hands down from beginning to end, the staff met every need and made sure we were good. They were excellent! Very welcoming and friendly. The food was really good and our over water villa was beautiful. I heard they are doing some renovations. When it's complete we will definitely revisit.

The island is a good size. There were times we were out on the beach by ourselves. It's almost like a private island! This is if you go during the rainy season though (which isn't that rainy). I'm sure the peak season is busier. My only complaint is that the beds are not that comfortable. Was expecting better. I give it 4 of 5 stars.

The location was lovely , beaches and Island verdure were also fabulous . We stayed in a water bungalow which was clean and spacious on the west ,sea ward , side of the Island. It benefitted from the sea breeze and sunsets . The food was excellent , buffet style , of a good quality and varied . Staff were obliging , obviously trained to be so . The sea plane transfer is an added cost (£650) and we had to wait 90 min for arriving passengers from other destinations to fill it before it would leave . This was irritating after travelling for 16 hours . The resort is dated and tired and does need an upgrade which is apparently happening shortly.
