Veligandu Maldives Resort Island 5 stars

Rasdu

Set in Rasdu, Veligandu Maldives Resort Island features a private beach area. Offering a restaurant, the property also has an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness centre. Guests can make use of a garden. Veligandu is the best hotel we have ever been and we have traveled a lot and been to Maldives several times. We had been here 9 years ago and it is still amazing. We have stayed in the Sunset Jacuzzi Beach Villas. They are more expensive but it is worth every cent. The snorkeling is amazing. In the sunset part you can see all kinds of fish species including several sharks. On the sunrise part from the pole through all the floats you can see an amazing shark and turtles. I have "lived" 45 min with a turtle. What an experience. The food is out of this world. The only thing they could get better is to have a coffee machine for cappuccino and expresso at Breakfast. No need to bring shoes. Everyone goes around bare foot. The sunset is just amazing and being in the water until there is the moon and stars in the sky is gorgeous. The Gala Dinner at Christmas is very worth it and a true experience. We all ate at the beach, feet in the sand, stars above you... what can you ask for more? The staff is0 very attentive and kind. Always willing to help and give us the best time possible. Our room attendant, Ashad, always kept our room pristine and every now and again included a amazing leaf art on our bed. As we were returning clients, they were really appreciative of that and went the extra mile with gifts.

Lily Beach Resort and Spa - All Inclusive 5 stars

Dhangethi

A once-in-a-lifetime experience awaits you at Lily Beach Resort & Spa, where luxury and bliss entwine together under the vibrant colours of the setting sun. Located on Huvahendhoo Island in the South Ari Atoll, this award-winning, five-star resort is a short 25-minute flight by seaplane from the capital Male’ International Airport. This proximity, as well as the reputation of its legendary all-inclusive plan and the surrounding natural beauty of the Maldives, make it a sought-after destination. We spent 15 days on this paradise island! We took our time choosing the island. We had several criteria: a good diving center, the best location near key diving spots easily reachable by boat, a beautiful house reef, comfortable rooms, and excellent food. Lily Beach met all these criteria and even exceeded our expectations! The island has a beautiful house reef. We snorkled with tortue, reef sharks, muraena, sting rays, and many different beautiful fish and corals ! The island itself is beautiful, many birds, old trees and palms, the beach outstanding! From the moment we arrived on the island, we felt a warm, genuine welcome, the hotel director, Mr. Laurent Driole, came to welcome us. He is a very nice person who told us a lot about the island, was always happy to chat. It was clear that the island is very well organized: water is delivered to the rooms daily in glass bottles, which is tasty and of good quality—no plastic waste. The island is very clean and well-maintained, the staff is extremely friendly, and everything works smoothly. The food is always fresh, diverse, and delicious. Our check-in was handled by Sara, who spoke French. She is a wonderful, kind-hearted person, and it was clear that for her work is not just a job; she genuinely cared about making our stay unforgettable. We thank her for her warm attitude, help, and care. We also greatly appreciated Mara, who speaks Russian. She is a very kind and understanding person. Many thanks to her for her assistance and kindness. A special thank you to Chef cook Dal, who made us delicious sushi daily upon request. On our last day, he prepared a plate of our favorite rolls as a work of art! He was so kind! We also appreciate all the waitstaff, especially Ismael, who was always nearby, asking if we needed anything else, and always booked for us our favorite table right by the sea. He was very pleasant and friendly. We thank a lot Dr. Lydia from the island clinic, very nice and professional person!
