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.

I am truly grateful for the consistently warm and heartfelt hospitality that makes every stay so special. I would especially like to extend my deepest thanks to General Manager Zahir for his exceptional leadership and personal attention—he always makes us feel so valued and at home. This marks my 10th (or more!) visit to Vilamendhoo, and it never fails to impress. The restaurant team, housekeeping staff, and diving staff all deliver outstanding service with genuine smiles and care. Thanks to the wonderful hospitality of the dive team, I was once again able to fully enjoy some incredible dives this trip. Vilamendhoo remains, without question, the finest resort I’ve ever experienced, and I’m already looking forward to my next return.

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!

スキューバダイビング目的で宿泊をしました。ダイビングショップのガイドたちは全員プロフェッショナルで安心して潜ることができました。ジンベエザメ、マンタ、バラクーダ、サメ、ナポレオンフィッシュなど私たちのみたい魚は全部見ることができました。ここのホテルはシュノーケリングもおすすめです。私たちの好きなイーグルレイやナポレオンフィッシュ、サメが必ず見れました。小魚たちはもちろん豊富に見ることができます。バスルームにはジャグジーがあるので冷えた体をあたためることができます。 水着を干すスペースもありますのでウォータースポーツ好きに適したホテルです。スキューバダイビングのあとはインフィニティプールで夕陽を眺めました。ビッフェの食事は毎日変わるので飽きることはく毎日楽しめました。色んな国の料理を食べられて美味しかったです。ホテルのスタッフはみんなフレンドリーで感じがいいです。また是非行きたいです。
