The seaplane flight was noisy but a thrill landing on the Indian Ocean. Arrived on Vilamendhoo to be met by the manager who was very pleasant. A little form filling wih a cocunut drink and we were lead to our bungalow. We faced North East (I think) Room 99. The beach there is more open than elsewhere on the island.... more

I arrived by seaplane which was my first experience, thoroughly enjoyed that I as I got to see t the other islands along the way. The journey took 30 minutes from Male airport. I was welcomed upon arrival at the jetty by Cyrus the front office manager and some of his team. We were swiftly taken to reception, filled in... more

We flew to Vilamendhoo with Thomsons and are so glad we flew premium seating. It is well worth spending a bit extra as it is such a long flight. This is the 2nd time we have visited this Island and although it really is paradise there were a couple of things that we were a bit disappointed with this visit.... more

I have written long reviews about the island in the past. We returned this July-August for three weeks and it remains excellent. Even down to having the room next to the one we used two years ago and having the same house boy. Also the Maldivian Rails (birds) found us almost immediately. We were actually convinced the male recognised us,... more

Its a beautiful island and the dive centre and the diving is excellent, but the manager is rude and unpleasant. We have been there before so we emailed the manager and asked for a prefered location on the island. He denied all knowlage of the email despite having emailed us back. It was a struggle to get a decent bungalow,... more

We stayed on Vilamendhoo back in February, I had picked this island as it seemed to be reviewed as one of the best to snorkel round, and had a recommended house reef which were of primary importance. I had also dived with Eurodivers back in on Ari (now Diva) and Lohifushi (also now another name) and wanted to stick with... more

Vilamendhoo, it is like a dream. The island is soooo green that you cannot see the bungalows from the water, it is all hidden between the trees. Inside the island you sometimes have the idea of walking in the jungle. When you have been to other islands then you start to appreciate this type of island. The bungalows are good,... more

Just returned from Vilamendhoo after a weeks stay. Our fourth visit to the Maldives (different Island each time). We flew with Monarch in economy which was fine, no complaints. Having paid extra on previous trips to go premium I really don't think it's worth it. Vila was one of the largest we've stayed at and it was also the first... more
