Beautiful island with nice sandy beach, and nice house reef just 30-50 meters away from beach villa, can go snorkeling anytime according to guest desire, dont need a boat ride. Sea plane schedule to leave the island is difficult to arrange according to guest request, either too early or too close to guest flight time/speed boat ride from Male to somewhere else.

My wife and I spent 12 wonderful days at the Vilamendhoo Island Resort in Maldives. Our original booking was an Adjoining Beach Villa. Meanwhile, as a generous birthday present our accommodation was upgraded to the top-notch overwater villa with jacuzzi. The location and amenities of the unit (#329) were fantastic and we enjoyed every minute of our stay! The house reef was amazing! Turtles, stingrays, spotted eagle rays, eels, all kind of beautiful corals and fish were surrounding us each time we snorkeled. All the stuff of the resort were extremely accommodating and very helpful. We always enjoyed delicious food and excellent service in Ahima restaurant. Awsom - our waiter, was incredibly pleasant and attentive. We would highly recommend the Vilamendhoo resort and look forward coming back in the future!

I loved our stay at Vilamendhoo and would definitely return. The price, island location and access to reef and marine life excursions was great. The food was very good for a buffet as well. Also had a massage with Ayu at the spa and it was life changing. The only thing I would say was lacking a bit was the cleaning service in our water villa and the night life was pretty non-existent. The bar was open 24/7 which was nice but we were really the only ones out past about 11 pm (group of friends). Overall, great experience though!
