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.

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.

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.

I love this resort. Worth the 18 hr flight from Toronto. Seaplane transfer was hassle-free. I booked an over the water villa (with a hot tub with a view of the ocean), full board (3 meals at buffet), no alcohol or drinks (except for coffee and whatever juice they have at the time). Each mango juice costed me $4 US a pop. Items in mini bar not included. Items, like souvenirs, you buy get charged to the room. I loved the over the water villa. So private and there were stairs out to the water (low tide in the am, high in the pm). There were crabs all the time on the deck (one and a couple on the steps). They try to avoid you. Transformer was provided, AC, TV. Far walk but it's what you get if you want seclusion. Island is so small though (love it). Food at Dhonveli and wi-fi were great. I really only need those two things to be happy. I didn't see too much seafood, but I don't like those anyway. From your deck, you can snorkel and see plenty of different varities of fish. Saw a shark and a couple of sting rays from my deck. Staff is warm and helpful. I travelled on my own and felt really safe. I could leave my phone/wallet at my table with no concerns at Dhonveli. Resort-specific stuff: Bring your own plastic bag for wet clothes. Resort tries to be environmentally conscious so no plastic bags available. Don't bring shoes you don't want to get sand in. I had a really special experience and plan on going back next year but maybe in April instead of May.

Wow, we went here for our 30th anniversary and we were not disappointed! Veligandu is absolutely amazing. The word paradise is often over used, but it is a truly fitting description. Everything was perfect; the staff, the services, the amenities, the facilities, the food, the atmosphere and the romance. It is a picture right out of a travel magazine.

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.

Of all my travel experiences, going to the Maldives was the most stress free and truly relaxing experience. And Veligandu Resort really made sure that was the case. The staff are super friendly, everyone always greets you as you pass by. The whole resort is very well organized. We didn't have to wait long for any of the services and the whole atmosphere was laid back and relaxing. My mom and I had a wonderful time staying at this resort. And the food is AMAZING. It's comparable to a really good restaurant in the city (I live in San Francisco). The drinks were really well mixed as well. There really is nothing to complain about this resort. The staff took care of us so that we didn't have to worry about anything. It was refreshing for a change to have such a stress free travels.

First at all, don’t read the negative reviews, We been staying in soo many resorts around the world including 5 diamonds, but we never experience the quality of customer service of this one, First at all is not old as some of the reviews said, the rooms are good and the jet tub is amazing! We have the water chance every day and the check the room was with the highest standards of cleanest twice per day, we were there for our honeymoon and the staff prepare our rooms with a beautiful handmade decoration in the bed, plus they gave us a bottle of sparkling wine the first night to celebrate , a beautiful cake and a very nice gift. Gasim our concierge was above and beyond, every time I ask for something, Gasim make it happen right away the have our CoVID test ready and even they print copies for us, I can’t describe the level of attention and welcome that the staff gave us. Food was perfect every day the have a different buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner and every day is different, they have amazing desserts and a chef who grill your food as you prefer, we recommend full board is completely worthy and if you drink go all the way for all inclusive every dollar is worthy I promise. Water activities are really awesome, we did the jet skies and our tour give was with us all the time we feel so safe because he was showing us the way and how to do it. We had a lot of fun !! Is something that you don’t want to miss for sure

Rest and relaxation in Veligandu.
Our stay in Veligandu lived up to our expectations and exceeded them. The sunset water villa was over a shallow area where we could swim anytime, bordered by a reef alive with many fish for enjoyable snorkeling. The service at the resort is top notch, including the reception, restaurant, bar and spa. The resort took care of our every need with professionalism. We took a snorkeling trip, jet ski trip, and I went scuba diving. If you are lucky like I was, you can scuba under manta rays as they swim around you. We would easily go back to Veligandu. It seems to be smaller than many other Maldives resorts but is not lacking in quality or service.

The hotel has made a great effort to create a 'normal' feeling under COVID restrictions and the staff were excellent, whilst maintaining protocol. The place itself is an older Island but with great natural beaches and reefs (unlike the new man made ones). We prefer the more natural Island experience, hence this was great for us. Great reef for snorkeling and calm beaches for swimming. I was surprised at how goo a condition the reef was in and there was an abundance of marine life. Food was excellent quality and there was a good choice of western and local options (under COVID restrictions). However the breakfast choice was somewhat limited (compared to the lunch and dinner options). Only blemish on the trip (for my wife) was that there was no shower cap - which is more necessary if you're in and out of the sea all the time... :)

This trip stands out amongst quite a bit of travel as one of the best I've ever taken! Every detail at Veligandu is well considered and executed. The staff are friendly, engaging and provide top quality service. The facilities are great, all you could want. And the food was delicious.

Love the size of the hotel and island. Small, intimate and private. Seaplane transfer is part of the fun and the length of time to get there is good (not too long, about 20 minutes). Beautiful beaches and good snorkeling. Buffet is ok. Not there for great food. There is something for everyone. The Thundi Bar is lovely. Great to hang out and relax with a drink or two. The room is comfortable and large. Would not call it luxury or five stars. We have a jacuzzi water villa. A sunset jacuzzi water villa would have been better. It wasn’t available at the time.
