Vilamendhoo Island Resort & Spa

The beach is pristine and very well kept. Enjoyed the morning walk with my wife . The coral reef was mesmerizing and not too far away. Getting to the reef drop zone was very well marked. Had an amazing snorkeling experience which I did twice a day and practically covered the whole area. The Vila snorkeling was my best lifetime experience. A heartfelt thanks to Viyaan and team who gave there 100% who went above and beyond to make our trip absolutely worthwhile. Witnessing 3 whale sharks and 3 manta rays was beyond my wildest expectations. We indulged in a feast at The Funama and ate to our hearts' content. Although we couldn't manage to try everything, we had the opportunity to sample a wide variety, making it a truly delightful dining experience.

This was the second time we visited Vilamendhoo. This island is the paradise but it’s affordable when it comes to the Maldives high prices. The rooms are fantastic and the service is flawless. The house reef is definitely worth it and you can see a lot. Ocean discovery full day trip is recommended.

Since I’m not a very confident swimmer, I greatly appreciated the house reef which was just a few meters from the seashore. I was provided with a free life vest which made snorkeling much easier. It was also fascinating to see so many baby sharks just swimming by your feet at the seashore… the sand is powdery white and very fine (but not the sand in the sea, which is already pebbly)… food is great … the room is spacious and clean; the bed and pillows are very comfortable… I love the open air bathroom

We had a wonderful stay at Vilamendhoo resort. The island is absolutely beautiful – white sand truly Maldivian beaches, crystal-clear water, and stunning views. The house reef was a highlight, it’s just a short swim from the beach and full of colorful fish and coral. We were lucky to see baby sharks, sea turtles, and stingrays while snorkeling. The hotel itself was great too, the room was fresh, spacious, and clean. The hotel stuff was friendly and helpful. Food at the buffet restaurant had a good variety every day, and the desserts were especially delicious! Overall, it was a relaxing and magical experience. Highly recommend.

The majority of the staff at the resort were warm, welcoming, and consistently friendly. I was especially impressed by my room attendant and dining attendant — both were fantastic. My garden room was spacious and comfortable. Although it showed some signs of age and wear, it was spotlessly clean and serviced twice daily, which I really appreciated. The location was very good — quiet, close to the dining area, and with a lovely garden outlook. That said, next time I would definitely book a beachfront room, as the views of the water from those rooms were beautiful. I opted for the full-board package, which included all three meals at the buffet. The variety and quality of the food were excellent, and the rotating theme nights added an extra layer of flavor to an already impressive selection. Kudos to the chefs and kitchen staff. The beaches surrounding the island were absolutely beautiful and offered excellent snorkelling right off the shore. I also joined several morning snorkelling excursions and was incredibly lucky to see whale sharks, a large group of manta rays, turtles, and dolphins. The boat crew was highly professional and made each trip smooth and safe. One of my favorite spots on the island was the adults-only pool area. It had a beautiful outlook, was always peaceful, and featured a nearby bar for drinks and light food. I especially appreciated the absence of music from the bar — just the sounds of the ocean and palm trees made it a relaxing space. Overall, it was an enjoyable and rejuvenating stay.
