We had an amazing stay - everything was just perfect! Communication before and during the trip was great. We were greeted at the port when we arrived, and on our last day, they even helped us board the speedboat back. The room was super clean and had everything we needed. The Wi-Fi was fast, and the buffet breakfast was really tasty with lots of choices. Huge thanks to Anoof and Waruna for being so kind and helpful throughout our stay!

I had an exceptional stay at this hotel, and I can't recommend it enough. From the moment I arrived, the service was top-notch. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive to every detail, ensuring that my check-in was smooth and hassle-free. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities I could possibly need. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I had one of the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time. The hotel’s facilities were impressive as well. The on-site restaurant served delicious meals, and I thoroughly enjoyed breakfast each morning with a wide variety of fresh options. The location was perfect—conveniently close to the beach but tucked away enough to provide a peaceful retreat. I also appreciated the complimentary shuttle service, which was provided when I left the hotel. Overall, my stay exceeded all expectations. The combination of exceptional service, comfort, and amenities made for a truly memorable experience. I look forward to returning and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a perfect getaway.

Everything was perfect. The rooms, the food, the staff, the manager, the excursions, the weather, the beach, etc.. - highly recommended! Many thanks to the Whaleshark Team! Our highlight was the full day boat tour. We were able to swim/snorkel with whalesharks, mantas, sea turtles and many others. That was something very special for us. Don't miss out on this unique experience!

This hotel is an amazing place for a couple! I will recommend it to everyone who wants to go to Dhigurah! Staff is very friendly and professional, Fairooz, the manager of the hotel, was answering our weird questions about the underwater creatures and the island’s bats! In terms of the food, we had a full board option, for breakfast, lunch and dinner we could decide one over usually three options proposed by a chef that day. The food was nice! For dinner there was also an option to decide either dessert or a starter and as a couple we usually were sharing the dessert and the starter. If we ever come back to Dhigurah would love to stay there again!

From the start everything was super, communication with people before we traveled, they organised transfer for us, greeted us with nice refreshing drinks and gave us all useful information. We had room on the ground floor that looked at the bikini beach and sea. On the white sandy beach we had beach beds and table and chairs. Now about the sea (well ocean)…crystal clear water and part where you can swim and house reef where you can snorkel and see amazing colourful fish. Staff was amazing (I am terrible with names), but every single member of staff was friendly and polite, from our waiter, Sri Lankan chef, hotel manager…everyone. They organised trips for us. Out of many different trips we chose 3. We had Dolphin Safari where we saw 100’s of dolphins and took amazing photos and videos. Then we had snorkelling trip to see turtles and again we took some great pics and videos. Our guide even took my GoPro and filmed us swimming with turtles. Unforgettable experience! We also had Night Fishing trip, where we caught many fishes, like tuna, barracuda, red snapper etc. Then they prepared most amazing beach dinner with our catch. In the restaurant you have a choice between continental breakfast and local one (many times we had both of them). Also you can eat pancakes with various toppings and there was always cold juice and water. For dinner you have different choices, like various soups to start with, then various curries, rice and noodle dishes, fish, various ways of chicken, pizzas, burgers…and desert at the end. We were very happy with food. I can highly recommend Belmars Beach and will definitely come back at some point, as we had a brilliant time there.

We just returned from an incredible stay at Vilamendhoo! Never bean in September but we had a perfect holiday dispute raining two days. Accommodations: The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed, making it the perfect home away from home. Food: The dining experience at Asian Wok is exceptional. Each meal was a delightful journey. The variety and quality of the food were outstanding, truly elevating our all-inclusive experience. Snorkeling: The snorkeling here is phenomenal! The house reef is teeming with life! Swimming with manta rays on house reef near Asian Wok restaurant was the highlight of our stay. We also spotted white and black tip sharks, turtles, eagle rays and hundreds of colorful fish, all on the house reef! If you snorkell every day, you will se amazing stuff underwater. Although the reef is not what it was 12 years ago, it still has its beatuties and some coral is recovering. Bars: The bars were top-notch, offering a fantastic selection of cocktails and beverages. The staff was always ready with a smile, making our time at the bar just as enjoyable as our time in the water. Staff: Speaking of the staff, they truly went above and beyond. Every member was friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure our stay was perfect. Their warmth and professionalism made us feel right at home. Overall Experience: The all-inclusive package at Vilamendhoo is simply perfect. Every aspect of our stay was catered to perfection, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. If you’re looking for an unforgettable vacation filled with stunning underwater experiences and top-tier hospitality, look no further. We can’t wait to return!

The trip was truly incredible! We stayed for a week and had a wonderful time, thanks to every individual who worked at the resort, and everyone who had a part to play in putting our adventure together. From the moment we stepped off the boat, we were greeted by the owner and some of the staff, who couldn't have been more helpful throughout our stay, their attention to detail was phenomenal. The food in every restaurant was lovely, and there was enough to keep any palate satiated throughout their stay, along with a plethora of drinks options, whatever your tipple. The location itself was fantastic, surrounded by a magical reef that was teeming with wildlife, from colourful fishes, to turtles and reef sharks. Travel further afield and you can see manta-rays up close and personal, that one excursion was particularly awesome. If you want to be active on the island, the gym is adequately stocked with a enough equipment to keep you busy, and you can use the variety of water-sports equipment too, as well as a nice spa facility that offers expensive, but very enjoyable treatments. If you don't want to be so active, your time can be whiled away simply ogling the incredible turquoise waters, and the soft white sand that envelopes the island. Overall, we hoped that our trip to the Maldives was going to be special, and it exceeded our expectations in every sense, particularly the spell-binding scenery, but also the staff, they were awesome. We enjoyed celebrating our 20th anniversary, and we will no doubt return to celebrate another milestone in the future. Thank you!

(he even brought me some cigars from 70km by seaplane!) Also, shout-out to the cooking team! the food was really michelin star quality. The wine selection is unbeliveble, and the wine guys really know what they are talking about. Honestly, this place is so well organized it should get 11/10 we will surely return next year!

Our stay at Veligandu Island Resort was absolute perfection! The water villa was incredible, blending comfort and elegance with stunning views. Being able to step directly into the turquoise lagoon from our deck was an experience we’ll never forget. The dining experience was exceptional – each meal was a feast of flavors with fresh, high-quality ingredients. From themed buffet nights to the romantic beachside dinner, the variety and presentation were outstanding. Veligandu is a true paradise – serene, luxurious, and unforgettable. We can’t wait to return!

An amazing snorkelling beach -no boats or travel required -just thousands of colourful fish and turtles, perfect white sand and palm trees. The concession stand sold delicious, fresh-picked fruit-watermelon, papaya, bananas. We loved the Coccoa beach restaurant and the Black Anchor and the Mango House had fabulous lattes and desserts.

The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life.

The most beautiful sea I have ever seen in my entire life. And mind you, I have visited many seas in many countries! For food, I recommend the restaurant at the Dhiguveli hotel and the Teapot restaurant. Getting around the island is very easy; you can reach any place quickly on foot. Don't miss going to the sandbank at one of the ends of the island.

I didn't like that the island lost most of it's green and I didn't see the wild nature I prefer. There was a lot of construction going on the moment I was there, I felt discomfort because of that. And maybe in 1-2 years it's going to be over I think. But on the other hand there's just amazing diving on the house reef and nearby reefs. There's a lot of nice restaurants and there was no day I felt bored.

It is a small enough island to walk around. The locals are extremely friendly - always saying hello. There are 3 restaurants all along the west coast. Compass seems most popular. But all are good with same offering of food. There is a fair amount of building going on at the moment as they gear up for more tourists. We used South Ari Dive for our diving trips. They are professional and friendly.

You need maximum 3 days to complete all trips, any more than that would have to be someone who loves water sports as these are the main activities in this country, anyways. Bring a mosquito or any insect repellent, you will need these after a stroll on the shores or anywhere there are plants. Also have an anti-nausea pill if you are the seasick type. Taxis have a fixed price for each location, check that out. Alcohol in the resorts is expensive but then again that's all you got. Best to pay all meals or include dinner in your package as there are almost no restaurants outside, depending on the island, and if you find one it's either a chips or coffee spots.

It was not my first time in Maldives and my experience there...

It was not my first time in Maldives and my experience there was disappointing compared to my previous trips in other resorts. The quality of service is poor and it’s a shame because the resort is lovely and the staff are nice but lack professionalism.

A Wonderful Beach Holiday.

A Wonderful Beach Holiday. Necessary structure: shops and cafes are available. The ability to pay with a bank card, as well as in cash (USD, MVR). Good exchange rate in all places. I was pleased with both Mathiveri and Mathiveri Finholu: the beaches are clean, the sand does not burn your feet, and there is a comfortable "coolness" in the shade of the trees.

Feridhoo is an island inhabited by locals.

Feridhoo is an island inhabited by locals. They are Muslims, so respect them and wear decent clothes when walking through the village. The island has 2 restaurants with good food and fair prices, one dive base (Noohiri) and one small shop next to Shifa Lodge. We came for diving and found an abundant maritime life. There are 2 beach areas, one at the east side with the best snorkeling ground, the other at north/west side with berths for relaxing.

We enjoyed 7 days on the island. The rooms are very clean.

We enjoyed 7 days on the island. The rooms are very clean. The food is AMAZING! Everyone from staff are kind. The resort is sustainable, they try very hard to recycle and repurpose almost everything which is really nice. All inclusive is the smarter choice, trust me😄 The snorkeling is really fun! The whole island stands on coral reef and there is a lot to see! Maybe bring your own equipment, although you can rent. I don’t recommend the visit to the local island, nothing to see there We absolutely recommend
