Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa

It was my dream to visit this resort and the dream came true few days ago! Everything was amazing, the beach and palms were just like paradise, the food was delicious and various, I was amazed by the quality for such a big amount of guests. Waiters are working very hard from early morning until night! I appreciate them. The island was beautifully maintained and rooms were pretty with outdoor bathroom. I came here mainly because of reef and it was also amazing (except tourists stepping and breaking corals!). I saw many sharks, eagle ray, turtle, napoleon fish, octopus and many other colourful fishes. A lot of corals are still alive and look beautiful but many of them were being broken on a daily basis by guests :/ I had 3 meals a day and water was for free with no limit. Overall our stay was wonderful!

This was our second visit to Vilamendhoo and certainly won’t be our last. Arrived at Male early in morning, were quickly transported to the Sea Plane terminal and after a very short wait in an air conditioned building we were on our way. Arrived on the island and were swiftly taken to our room which was a water villa, we prefer the water villa option. The outside of the water villas are being upgraded, which was nice to see as the sea does wear away at the wooden outsides over the years. The food and drinks were amazing and faultless, we used the adult buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner but were never bored of the food on offer as it was always fresh and varied. Nishad looked after us in the restaurant throughout our stay and was always friendly, attentive and helpful. Avoy Paul cooked our eggs to perfection every morning, this man made our holiday as he was always very polite and greeted us with a huge smile every day, he is a real asset to the team. We only used the Sunset Bar as we prefer to stick to the adults only section. Mohamed and Navreen stood out as being wonderful hosts in this area. We ordered from the snack menu on our last day before leaving and again the food was delicious. The snorkelling was amazing as the reef is just a few meters away from the shore. We swam with black fin sharks, turtles and saw sting rays as well as a large manta on the reef. The current can be a little strong so flippers are advised, but if you swim with the current it makes for an enjoyable experience as you just go with the flow! We went on the Sunset Cruise, it was a bit choppy as the sea was a little rough but still a really enjoyable experience, we were lucky enough to see dolphins which was an added treat. Vilamendhoo is a little piece of heaven and we will return just as soon as we can. It’s perfect for adults only holidays or family holidays as there are two areas that cater for everyone. You can enjoy peace and tranquility in the adult area or have a more lively atmosphere in the family area. Vilamendhoo suits whatever you’re looking for.

We’re still here and I don’t want to leave. Staying in an over water villa, the view, the hospitality… everything is perfect. The transfer on the seaplane was flawless too. If you want a relaxing experience then Vilamendhoo is your place
