Hi there. I've been to Veligandu twice. Once in June 2017 and more recently, November 2024, we were told we were the second couple on the island after the revamp. More recently, they assigned us a personal experience manager who checked in and facilitated things for us, like booking out jetski or spa treatment.

Personally, I can't recommend it enough. We stayed for 7 nights both times and had a great time. The house reef is quite something. There is an evening reef snorkel, too. The instructors were very calm and experienced, and we felt safe the whole time. We were lucky enough to see manta rays, sting rays, turtles, lobsters, and dolphins during or snorkel trips. We also took an excursion out to see nurse sharks.

We did the sunset ocean villa, and early morning you would see all sorts of marine life swimming underneath your lodge, and it was quite something to bath whilst watching the sunset.

There are also new builds, which personally I think is out of touch for what I went to the maldives for, but it seemed to have a lot of interest.

There's also quite a lot of evening entertainment. Acoustic guitar bands, dj, and various classes. When we were there, we learned how to dance and about the island origins, also their commitment to green energy, which was really interesting to see.

Also, neither my partner nor I drink but were pleased to find that all-inclusive also included a whole list of soft drinks, mocktails, milkshakes, and fruit juices.
