Just back from veligandu as part of our twin centre honeymoon with Sri Lanka. This resort is stunning, the moment we arrived at the departure lounge at male, it truly was a fantastic experience, we had to wait for 90 mins for the sea plane transfer but to be honest you are greeted with a smile and a cold drink....

We travelled to Veligandu for a 6 day trip to celebrate our honeymoon in April. The trip truly was one of a lifetime and a month later we still think back to our hot sunny days on the deck or snorkeling in the bluest of waters. After combing through the endless list of resorts and their options, we settled on... More

This was our first time in the Maldives and I can honestly say it was the best holiday we have ever had. We had a Jacuzzi villa on the sunset side unfortunately for the beginning of May the weather was a bit unkind to us so we didn't see the beautiful sun sets but this really didn't spoil the holiday....

Just a quick 3-day stay but it was perfect, my 7th resort in the Maldives and quite possibly my favourite; a beautiful island, good food, friendly staff (with a special mention for the Guest Services Manager Laura for whom nothing is too much trouble and who apparently never sleeps), and all-round a relaxing and lovely time. Hope to visit again... More

Whatever anyone says or writes this is an amazing place to spend a holiday, but nowhere will ever be perfect, but this does comes very close (this is the 5th island we have stayed on, and researched all of them extensively). We have just returned from our third visit to Veligandu, but our first since the upgrade of the island... More

Everything about this resort was perfect, from start to finish from seaplane to villa couldn't have been more perfect. Relaxed atmosphere, water villa was amazing, we just laid out on the deck for hours day & night watching the sharks, rays & fish. It was large, spotlessly clean & so comfortable. Not recommended if you want noise & entertainment, as... More

Paradise - but I don't want to write this review as I don't want it spoilt and would like to keep it a secret. We landed in a cyclone and had to wait 3 hours for the air taxis to resume service. This was not a problem as we were escorted to Veligandu's private lounge which was a God send... More

As soon as we landed in Male, we were whisked away to our awaiting sea-plane. For those of you fearful of the sea-plane... don't be. It's fantastic. The flight was short, smooth, and breathtakingly beautiful. We were greeted with a cold drink upon our arrival at the resort, followed by a tour of the island, and check-in. We stayed in... More
