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.

Getting there
Veligandu Island Resort & Spa lies about 59 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport, the country's main gateway near Malé.

I have to rate this stay 4 out of 5. We did a last minute booking and ended up on a boat transfer from MLE to the veligandu resort. My wife is pregnant and it was a really bumpy ride to the resort and we were never offered a seaplane which is hard to understand when there’s only 20usd price difference. I would say it’s a lack of attention from the hotel staff not offering the option especially with a pregnant lady. We stayed in the overwater ocean pool villa and apparently the AC shuts off when the door to the balcony isn’t locked.
