We stayed 6 nights here in April 2016. The best holidays in my life so far. The resort definitely deserves a 10! The staffs are very kind and some of them are very chatty. Room service is really good, they clean twice a day, not mention they also make the sheet in different shapes everyday. The food is speechless good, it was buffet style and they try to make every day different meals during a period of a week at least as I know. And the coral reefs and fishes are amazing! The activities that they organize are wonderful really worth every penny of it, such as the safari snorkeling, luckily we saw several whale sharks. Hope one day could go back again to this magical place.

Getting there
Ranveli Island Resort lies about 90 km in a straight line from Velana International Airport, the country's main gateway near Malé. The nearest domestic airport is Maamigili, roughly 21 km away, which matters if your transfer combines a domestic flight with a boat ride.
Resorts this far from Malé are usually reached by seaplane, or by a domestic flight followed by a boat ride; the resort confirms which applies and the timing, and seaplanes fly in daylight only.
The nearest other stays in this guide are Seaside Dhangethi Inn (1.0 km), Fehivilla Residence Inn (1.0 km) and Aliran Dhangethi (1.2 km). On resort islands, neighbours are usually separate islands reached only by boat, so distance says little about walking access.

Ranveli Island Resort averages 4.5 out of 5 across 59 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Beautiful Ressort with really friendly staff. The sea is clear and the beach is as seen on the web pictures. Food is good although it is only buffet. Diving and snorkeling are easy since the house reef is only around 10 meters from the shore. The whole island is really clean and "well groomed".
For me this was the best stay on Maledives (4trips). Small, clean and very quite island. Ocean life was very colorfull (the most from my trips). There is only few roomsso it is very intimet. This hotel isbestchoice when you want relax on the quite place with beautiful beatches alone!
