Very nice small island with mainly water bungalows. Everything is very clean and well maintained. Only the garden made a bit scruffy impression, many brown leaves in the palms and on the floor, hardly blooming plants. Guest structure: german, swiss, english (or americans?) , a few japanese. read more

    Very well equipped. Great was the jacuzzi with a view of the sea and the sun terrace. The bathroom is very big, the shower simply only ingeniously spacious. Because we booked all inclusive had, we could the mini bar use. I missed only in the evening a small glass of wine, the was not to the extent.

    We only as a part of all-inclusive used the main restaurant. The food was varied and very tasty. One must however sharp food, otherwise the selection somewhat limited. The best were the daily different currys. The dessert was usually too sweet, but i am anyway no dessertfan.

    Over the service you could definitely not complain. Was not alright (for example no light), was immediately someone. There was a german speaking lady, all the other staff only speak english.

    The gym had everything we needed. It were enough sun loungers and sunshades available. We have however nearly only our own terrace used.

    Access to the airport male by a seaplane. The approach we had spectacular presented. Ideal was the water bungalows, that one over stairs directly from of the terrace into the sea could.

A bit difficult here to 2 days our trip home was filled up with all the impressions the cockaigne in the middle of the Paradieses gave now that clear words to the readers now an objective opinion to give-i am as now already 4 bin ' victims ' Maldives tourists still try. Nothing is for the readers it more important than a little an impression on this tiny bit Eiland to make because for us was just 'holiday check' a very important clue where we months researched perhaps yes but an alternative to our beloved Kuredu to find where it ... to us in the past 3 times hinverschlug -a forward way, Kuredu is a really fantastic island (see my travel report) and we regret it no mínute already 3 time there-but veligandu so it is now very difficult to put into words what 1st the difference and 2. what veligandu so special power. Many of my previous reviewers have already had the advantages of this island mentioned, personal impressions and suchlike described so what, i can more than one watch out genuinly draufzusetzen and simply the feeling since beschreben -and that is precisely the really difficult and i will try anyway. Many believe Maldives is Maldives - so white beaches, turquoise sea, peace, recovery, etc. - this view is absolutely correct but there are nevertheless from island to island not insignificant differences and you should really good consider that you craves, if one island this inselstaates than its erträumtes destination select or which island you choose. Veligandu is the island if you are after absolute peace longs if you are after seclusion the outside world longs if you any animation disgusted-if you think you want 22 hours on day be alone (a little is still in contact with other with the food for example on)-if you then longs entirely alone to 2 this wonderful reef along the nearly entire island abschnorcheln -if you are not big on excursions is provided except with dhoni or speedboat time on the a or other snorkeling tour to go - if you like i about 4 kilogram in 2 weeks because of this' kitchen ' increase would like-if one no dress code subordinate would like-if you luxury of flat screen tvs to missen would not like (have in 14 days 20 minutes tv seen)-if one simply this but a bit of luxury inmtten this beautiful isle searches-if you in the evening (from 19:30 it was pitch darkthe) on his return into the villa barefoot through the inland stroll, where as beautiful indirectly lit than you would be out of this world-if one an island entering want to even drinking water, where garbage very strict sorts-if you want that all of home familiar luxury of a really hot shower is, a jacuzzi with constantly 37 degrees warm water - if you simply want, that with a maximum occupancy of about 150 guests (but i thought there were maybe 30 since, although fully booked) on a guest 1.5 staff (220 people stuff)-if you are after all these things, longs and above all the friendliness of the people there, the it simple with their incredible tact understand each desire from the eyes to read off without even a moment pushy to appear. Furthermore, and only then, one is here just perfect. What offer other still more expensive islands i asked and answers received. Probably another dress code during dinner times, or perhaps 2 yellow stripes in the towels, or perhaps someone a the villa is, or at mealtimes feeds-otherwise i can with the best will no increase for people like we both there are for peace, a incomparable landscape ( kristallares water including a visit to a fantastic beach and a great underwater world) and after a barefoot island with all its dschungelcharaker inside where nothing lifted or is longing. Could i have an island so plan and all the charkteristik, a veliandu gives, then i think i would have precisely these planning and made the a this small spot gives, the for us simply was worth every penny enjoy it too must! Maldives islands are different-very even-perhaps not so much in its appearance but in your design-in their management in its characteristic and above all in their feeling each experienced differently, because i people are simply different feel and feel-but veligandu for us and means, the words or was very difficult - Kuredu was wonderful - veligandu is a traumparadies amid the scharffenlandes. I hope the reader with my large and lowercase not too confused and could only a personal impression play-an impression the us to a sentence helped, A day after the holiday on veligandu is before the vacation on veligandu - even if until then around 50 to 53 weeks the countdown but already since 3 days around our 'new' so outstandingly beautiful quiet relaxende cosy the body and the soul almost überfüllende of thousands meeresbewohnern umgbene'home' again entering ' to ' ☺ If any questions should have been incurred or bilderwünsche as only-i am still refilled from all the impressions-it was fantastic. By the way, veligandu means Veli (a grain) gandu (many sandkörner)-veligandu (long sandbank) read more

The perfect hotel in the Maldives to find extremely difficult! We have weeks until we finally deciding whether could! Our criteria: - maximum 100 rooms - maximum 2 restaurants (no two classes society) - mixed guests - good food - no familieninsel - beautiful rooms - good sites and dive center - reasonably good housereef to the snorkeling and diving - no strict dress code All the met veligandu and we regret not a bit after our Sri Lanka stay there for our vacation to have. (if you want a super-guide/guide for Sri Lanka searches (languages: german/english was very good-polish/russian ... good) can to me gladly a write message, we stayed with our guide very good experience and may take it up with very good conscience recomend it!) The whole hotel is very clean, the rooms are twice cleaned daily. At the beach one finds never trash and if in the water peru time-bottles or similar drives, you could short out fish and in the next trash; o. Which we highly pleased, are the very clean toilets at the pool/restaurant/bar etc., the toilets become quickly very wet and it is unappetizing then there properties, was not the case at all in veligandu. Switzerland, England and Germany were strongly represented, a few indian, austrian and french and very little (only individual pairs/families) russians /Poland etc. Very pleasant atmosphere between the guests, never someone was loud or rude, overfilled plates was seldom and disrespect for employees we have fortunately never experienced something like that. We were with 22 years probably the recent few in the resort and the average was about 40 years. There were a lot of honeymooners on the way, but also very lots of regular guests the already for years on veligandu have a vacation, few families. Who relaxation/diving/good food, and not the huge party, is on veligandu certainly well looked after. read more

    When booking we with the travel agent and then two weeks before our vacation still directly at the hotel our wish expressed. 155-174 were our wunschvillen, we had water bungalow # 156 on the west side and it was the perfect villa for us! Since we in this villa on both sides of the terrace a view protection had, we had to minimum of half of the terrace the whole day shade. Various other villas had however the whole day sun. The stairs lead directly at the beautiful turquoise indian ocean. In the morning and evening could one eagle and stingrays or sharks watch direction beach swam. What else could you want?! Under the bungalow was very fine sand with a few broken parts of corals, here you may just be careful where you go-force (you should anyway because of rays etc.) Or otherwise wear thongs, also some crabs lived in the steps, the disappeared however fast if one the stairs runterging. A small shower, it was above the stairs also which we found very convenient, also for rinsing our snorkel equipment. We had about 10 minutes to the restaurant or the bar. On the jetty to the bungalows you should especially afternoon flip-flops carry, as it gets very hot. The rooms are modernly furnished and are exactly as in the previous reviews. But we do not, the (logically) already used furniture a reason to complain about are. Wear and tear, there was always and everywhere. If you expected that the furniture every month exchanged may have somewhat high standards and are looking for a house in the tropics has know, how difficult it is the furniture despite seawater, humid climate and heat in, to keep them up to date! For the still very good looked and damaged was nothing. The mattress was actually a little hard, after 2 nights but one got used to it. The sea at night sometimes noisy, with the door closed but we have only little heard of it and slept very well. In that mini bar are all soft drinks such as Pepsi, ice tea, nescafé ice coffee, Fanta and so on. Included in the price, also 2 nespresso capsules (per day) and tea with a water heater and a nespresso machine could be used. Also two liter flat water was every day refilled in the room. The jacuzzi we used very often (what we payed. Not imagined), it is wonderful in the afternoon or evening the view on the sea to enjoy. The rainy or cloudy days it was a great job. Air conditioning worked well and was quiet. And capacity should you have had enough, the bungalows are very big! Safety deposit box is also available.

    The food is by far the best in a hotel in the tropics ever had. The meat almost schweizerqualität and there is any kind of meat. Taste can we purely nothing at all complain about, had never stomach detunings and such. We stayed in 10 days not even the same eaten, even sushi there was, if you didn't find anything here has to be extremely own taste. For example there was on the maldivian evening (mainly curry dishes), also pizza, fries and Schnitzel, if you were united by not liked, you had still another possibility. No once we met empty bowls at, everything was always immediately refilled even before it was empty. The food what remained was to the employees. There was a pasta station and a barbecue where you fresh fish or meat directly prepared. The dessert corner was my favorite. Also the house wine we found completely okay. Dhonveli buffet: breakfast from 8 am -10 am, lunch from 12:30 pm -14 pm and dinner from 19:30 pm -21:30 pm. Shoes you need on this island not and the only dress code is for men that you not only in undershirts and women that you something about the bikini dress. The à-la-carte-restaurant madivaru we once visited. You could a menu dinner on the beach directly in front of the restaurant, a bbq on the strandzunge or simply à la carte (wagyu beef, lobster etc.). We booked directly in our waiter in the restaurant a table reserved and the private bbq at the beach dialed, where one completely for itself alone on the sandy area placed and the private chef to your liking a meat or fish cast. We chose the fish firmly with 3 courses for about 300 American Dollar with a good white wine. It was perfect. The ambience up service fit everything and the food was wonderful. The à-la-carte-restaurant every day except on mondays open, you have to reserve in advance. The bar supplemented the offer perfect. It is 24 hours open and you get in the all-inclusive plus every day, 7 different cocktails and hausspirituosen included in the price, which was completely sufficient for us. Also snack such as sandwich with chips or cakes were included.

    After our arrival and after all formalities were munjidh of the front desk to the room accompanied and ourselves on the way the resort said. In the room a chilled champagne ready and he had us from whirlpool to air conditioning and mini bar everything very exactly declared, during our whole holiday was munjidh very helpful and courteous. From the gardener to the manager of all with a smile! The waiters/cooks in both restaurants and the thundibar are very attentive and nice and know after a, two days what one preferred to drink/eat. English most very good and also german/french talk some some sentences. General the employees very accommodating and friendly and state also times gladly of their families in India/Sri Lanka/Bangladesh etc. Or male itself. Our roomboy rahman gave us sometimes with a beautiful decorated bed surprised and the room was always extremely clean. We looked forward always in there and just talking to him! The room once in the morning cleaned and in the evening is the bed turned down. The washservice we also used. Costs about 4.50 American Dollar for a shirt etc. The clothes at least a day later ironed and hangers returned. Because of the flu i had to the doctor on the island visit. After a check, he immediately the right medicines used up and after 2 days i was again-without side effects: o. On overbooking we only english is that it 2 nights on the owners Iceland stay 'had'. It disturbed however not large and the small private island very nice.

    The pool we used only few, but it looks great and the loungers etc. Are in a very good condition and comfortable, the beverages the bar at the pool brought. Freshwater shower is in the baby pool available (beach/pool towels are two into the room put, it is however by the pool a closet with fresh towels available). There is a badminton court, and an artificial turf soccer field (the employees every sunday a match-very funny to watch ), but also canoes could one free of charge check-out counters or windsurfing, catamaran, snorkelling or diving in oceanpro diving centre. In gamecenter there was ping pong, darts, billiards and a ' töggeli'kasten, a library and dvd rentals, there is the front desk. Also trips to the islands of kuramathi or rasdhoo, sunset dolphin cruise or snorkeling trips are offered regularly (trip to kuramathi or rasdhoo and sunset dolphin cruise are in the all-inclusive included). Sunset dolphin cruise was very nice, you could the island also times from another perspective and looks very many dolphins the directly in front of boat swim, with a little luck: o. What we could also recommend, was the level of ocean per. Great organized, nice team, there was a lot of value on security and the sites around the rasdhoo atoll are great! We have about 1000 American Dollar for the diving paid (including jacket/bottle/demand valve/weights etc.) And 12 dives. A more specific report to the diving station you'll find on divers(.) Net. Also snorkeling you should in spite of the perhaps somewhat mulmigen feeling still go! Was really nice what you know even while snorkeling everything finds. Turtles, moray eels, weissspitzen - schwarzspitzenriffhaie mantas etc. The reef was quite damaged, many broken corals. Various snorkelers, but don't be surprised if the reef not more intact, some paw the corals and we have several times observed as snorkelers shortly before the reef edge are up, can hardly imagine that they are not coral damaged. On the east side is the swim out somewhat more difficult, since the water very flat. In the bar there was every evening a small entertainment, even display a tauchfilm and the diving school envisions, then there is a maldivian evening or a tv evening. Or organize a crab races, where one crab 'buy' can, for example a Cappuccino (to order at the bar and to the room writing) a crab,. And if the crab then quickly enough, you can massages, excursions etc. Win. Also the spa is brilliant. We have the willkommensmassage (15 minutes) enjoyed (you can get if you are in the first three days the spa to look at is) and still have the full moon magic package for two people (circa 350 American Dollar) more than two hours and in the whole body (including face and head, feet hands etc.) Kneaded and in conclusion a relaxing bathroom with fruit and champagne prepared, very recommendable, the girls at the spa are very pleasant and lots of other also professional.

    After arrival in male was one of his travel agent welcomes (in our case meiers weltreisen) and wartelounge run. With a freezing refreshing towel and cold drinks will welcome and could also at the check in-forms for the hotel fill in. We have about 30 minutes to wait until the seaplane and then direction rasdhoo atoll flew, the flight is about 20 minutes away (we found the noise in the cabin not as too loud, also without ear plugs). The rasdhoo atoll has 2 hotel islands (kuramathi and veligandu) and a local island (rasdhoo) both islands are in about 10 to 15 minutes by boat. Veligandu is rather small and located at the southern tip of the island it has a long sandbank, right behind is the owners Iceland only by boat is. The island is very green and looks beautiful, the sand is almost white! There are many crabs, beetles, lizards, geckos, flying foxes, birds and of course very many sea dwellers! (if you are on these animals mind, should not be on a tropical island flies.) On the island it has a giftshop and a jeweler. In the giftshop one gets photo albums, clothes, fins, shampoo, suncream, mementos, sweets, sunglasses, usb sticks, underwater one way camera. And many more actually everything you need or possibly home forgot. The jeweler ( sifani -a juwelierkette from Sri Lanka) i have a beautiful ring bought. Is worthwhile really visit-he has beautiful jewelry. The salesperson is also very cordial and tried to find something suitable without sell something to want that one not at all want.

Despite high claims we were completely satisfied. Great island, a quiet maldives holiday to spend. Noteworthy also is the great service the diving centre! Great professional and very nice instructor! We have it as divers very much and the snorkelling enough and the diving would like to learn, is right at home here! However: all-inclusive offer is not good enough, as it more exceptions than inclusions are. Make it rather expensive and really all drinks (except for champagne) inclusive. South african billigwein from the container as the only all-inclusive wine is unacceptable. Still a bit more flexibility in of the ... guests appropriate. When we once with 6 people together at a table to sit wanted, this was a greater effort (one is only to couples tables set) and you wanted it almost deny. After we had even hand put on themselves sprint the boys suddenly. The evening entertainment was rather boring, one time per week party with dj, unfortunately not on the beach (Robinson Club can a bit better) is really not a lot. Otherwise lectures, crab races or a movie, not really great. The guests are all very pleasant and quiet, german, english, french, international, decent people and no sauf and gröhl public. But: our euphemism for lots of guests was: ' badly dressed sleeping pills'!-) Love people - even if a most fun resort with less strict dress code, you can relax in the evening also nice clothes! A Puma or Nike shirt with bermuda shorts in the evening? Next time press i such a time a tip into your hand thus the decent attracts. There were unfortunately many (men). So i was hotelier: i would a dress code fixed and the people for changing chic! A beautiful hotel, the could be even better, if the guests a bit more would try. Dancing? The girls bob on the chair, the boys stare straight ahead and at 22 o'clock it goes into the privacy of the water villas! You had to know that, if you're here wants a vacation, we enjoyed it anyway and we would gladly come again! read more

For a long time we looked on the internet the different hotels in the Maldives looked at us and then for the veligandu decided. The key criteria were: - not too big, with 75 rooms on the Maldives rather small - good value for money (on which naturally very high Maldives-price level) - no familieninsel - rooms in very good condition - beautifully green - water villas in comparison to other hotels without large surcharge read more

    The water bungalows are wonderfully arranged. We were at the northern tip of the we had asked (141). So we always had a 800 metre walk through the great green island to eat, which we actually thought was rather pleasant. You can get everywhere without shoes move, but on the hot bar to the bungalow are shoes advisable (there were everywhere there were foot showers too was available). The rooms are huge with a large bed, sofa and great terrace with ladder into the sea. As the ladder very smooth, one begins now even rubber mattresses funding. In the evening can one wonderful on the large terrassenliege sit down and the bungalowlichtern untemr house rays and sharks watch. The mini bar- and coffee corner, we have actively used. Two nespresso kaspeln are daily included, we had but also what brought. Although we ' only all-inclusive (for the price of half board) had booked, we were all-inclusive plus and said, something else there would be not any more (?). Therefore we could also some drinks from the minibar can be used free of charge. Water is always there. Everything was daily refilled. The bathroom can be opened completely, has 2 sinks and a large shower, and toilet. Directly attached is a further, screened porch with jacuzzi and bi-fold for the sea view in the 'bubble'. You really need the jacuzzi not really, and he is doing from time to time in the cleaning a few noise, but great it is to be ☺. Air-conditioning was quiet and quick. Large closet, kofferecke and safe are also available.

    The food is great. We often good food only the quantity determined. We found it especially good here, that glut reasonable was and more the quality good was. Live cooking of noodles, finest meat and fish were daily and all meals. The courts at the buffet were extremely varied and good. For our taste the desserts all way too sweet, but if you like has also here no reason to moan. Why here a restaurant à la carte is needed is not clear. Next to the restaurant there was also the bar, open all day long. Here at least for all inclusive-guests all important included in the price and you could really intimate atmosphere and will enjoy. But also here it would be good, the a or other cocktail a little less sweet to make. So tasted all in about the same, in other words very sweet!

  • Service

    The staff is very courteous and you can have a high service level speak. The rooms were for our taste too often cleaned, the only male staff all spoke enough english. If you especially original bed drapings (flowers, swans and such romantic fuss) need is rather go wrong here. Who it clean, tidy and technically well maintained need, is just perfect!

  • Sport & Entertainment

    The pool is really great arranged, but what should you, if you from its cabin directly into the sea go can. Otherwise, the sports offers the island for the rather small really good size. You can play badminton, the staff at the soccer game watch or help, canoeing, and billiards, Kicker, tischtemnnis and playing darts. Furthermore will windsportarten as catamaran and surfing offered, unfortunately we were always for too few wind if appointments and ultimately had to the fun miss. Absolutely one should snorkelling and the best private, well suitable equipment bring along. Already under the cottages you can watch some fish and small reef sharks see, but it was worth only correctly, if you (despite mulmigen feeling) to atollkante swims. Here you can see turtles, moraines and all kinds of colourful schooling fishes. Of course, you can also directly from the kayak out or a guided snorkel tour join in (which we the crab races won). In the evening there was always a small program. Either the prof. Diving school via unterwasservideo before or there are english-speaking presentations on the Maldives. Particularly funny was the krabenrennen. Because very few people participated (you have to be to paying drinks-the best what not included in the all inclusive package was out) and no one outpaced has, we have the first two prices with only two cappuccinos (which we also still drink smell) cleared. Next to the 4 hours-snorkeling (2 people) were there to 15 one-minute willkommensmassage (for every guest) still 30 minutes for one person mood. Spa girls from Thailand were really great and the massage is very recommendable. You would the massages or trips however additionally pay, so is the added time very nice in the money. Especially good we found the disco evening with good mixed, current pop and dancemusik. Unfortunately we were next to 4 other, the only on the dance floor. Clearly, there is no party island, but why must the especially present young couples already so early to bed go? Not even at the bar there were after 21 o'clock lots of people to see. That was a little bit of a pity, since all participants much effort and in the morning always the waiter asked, whether one evening with the program was.

    The veligandu is maledivenweit more nearby the capital male, is then but so far away, the transfer with a seaplane auslieferung (20 minutes), one thing really fun and a Maldives holiday somehow belongs. The ' nord -Ari' or ' rasdhuu' said atoll include only eingeboreneninsel and the really big urlauberinsel kuramathi, the however only weak on the horizon to see. Otherwise the really small atollring only through sandbanks and some small zwischeninseln coined/shaped.

In 15 to 20 minutes you could. The general condition is clean and tidy. During our stay were about 40% austrians and/or swiss, about 15% english and 10% french and german on the island.

    We had a jacuzzi water villa and the number 143 the jacuzzi water villas are 86 metres ² large. However, this from the villa and two terraces. For the terraces the total square meter counted. The living and sleeping area is attractively decorated and big enough. The tv (big flat screen tv) there was next to the english-speaking news channels, the Deutsche Welle. The mattress was a little too hard. In the foyer are the open closet, the safe, the mini bar and the nespresso machine. In all-inclusive-plus are two capsules daily inclusive, otherwise costs a capsule 4,50 American Dollar. The bathroom is nice and big and had a great shower with two different shower heads. You can also great to 2. showers. Shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and lotion are available and will be refilled. For the plug socket in the bathroom we had a adapter is needed. In the villa there were different outlets. For the desk was no adapter necessary. The window wall from the bathroom to the patio with the jacuzzi can fully be opened. If you have the blinds behind the jacuzzi opens, you can on the sea see. Both terraces are with two sun loungers. The terrace had a table and two chairs, as well as stairs, the into the sea leads. If one from the water, you can relax with a süßwasserbrause shower. My only point of criticism at the villa is, that the outdoor terrace could hardly be used, because there was no sun protection. You can only at complete these rikschas were heaven and shortly before sunset bearable.

    On veligandu there are two restaurants. The à-la-carte-restaurant madivaru and the buffet-restaurant dhonveli. The dhonveli restaurant offers meals on a very high level and in view of the size of the resorts also a amazing choice and variety. We were thrilled by the food. Although we 14 days on the island were, was enough variety. Chef has november a gentleman Frank from Stuttgart. His predecessors in recent adventures very praised and these reports on the kitchen were ultimately the reason, why we for this resort have decided. Also under the new chef is the kitchen fantastic. Everything was easy and tasty; a lot of the locals or indian cuisine inspired, the desserts to kneel down. There is also very tasty fruit. The ambiance in the restaurant is relaxed, the dress code legère. Long pants and shirts are not necessary. You can go barefoot or flip-flops. In madivaru restaurant were not we. In the thundi bar it would have been outside the meal times still snacks given. We booked this but never used it, although in our all-inclusive plus package was. However, we have a full moon dinner at the beach booked. The one had to reserve. There are only about 7 tables, the at the beach before the thundi bar be established. Lit up the whole by torches and the starry sky. The dinner cost at 2. 190 American Dollar. Drinks are extra, where not all-inclusive. We have a bottle of decent Bordeaux for 65 American Dollar drunk. The food came from the madivaru restaurant and was very good. It was high the upscale dining. The portions were a little too large. Unfortunately the service bad. After we the table were, it took an hour to the wine and the starter served was. It was so at 21:00 o'clock los and extended indefinitely. Wine and water were not or only very sluggishly refilled. It was simply too little staff. The majority of the guests then self service. This but the overall impression diminished. For good service would have been much more beautiful. The value for money was fair. In Germany you pay for the same food more. The dinner consisted of: 1st bubbly aperitif cocktail, 2. starter (green tea steamed duck breast on roasted artichoke and fennel compote avocado with rogue crabmeat salad), 3. main course ( lightly seared yellow fin Tuna with wild mushroom dust, grilled lobster, grilled beef fillet, red snapper parcel, green beans and peppers wrapped in black forest ham, thick cut chips & risotto), 4. dessert (white and dark valrhona chocolate mille- feuille on raspberry paint), 5. tea or coffee. We had all-inclusive-plus and found the ok. Ultimately everyone has to decide, what for him was the right one. What in all-inclusive-plus not it is, just have to be paid extra. I have here no comparisons. It is important but only, that one to take, what you want and not discussed.

    The staff was always friendly and accommodating. The colloquial language is english. Some waiters speaks also some breaking german into. At the front desk is a guest carer from the Switzerland busy, who speaks german. Complaints are dealt with immediately. For us the castle was the patio door broken and right on the next day addressed. With the room cleaning we were very satisfied. Our boy was very thorough and reliable all toiletries replenished. The cleaning of the rooms took place during the breakfast and during dinner. The resort offers a laundry service and a doctor on the island. The also has the necessary medicines available. The price list is located in the information brochure.

It is also a selection of short weights since. The fitness equipment includes once again waited. The library has two computer's. we had for 15 American Dollar two hours of internet and bought this 14 days seamlessly. You can also a cable at the front desk and with the own notebook in the villa log in. We have not gotten and then on the library establishments. The pool is very nice. If you lay there, you get the feeling, behind the pool starts right the sea and you can swim. In the evening the pool of underground lights lit and you can see on the water surface two hammerheads. The beach is great. We liked it particularly at the sandbank behind the thundi bar. Unfortunately the loungers already a bit worn. The chairs by the pool are much better. The beach itself is very clean. However if again and again garbage from the neighboring islands. We have some plastic bottles fished from the sea, the in our villa past driven are. We are open daily at the nearby reef snorkeling. Our lieblingsrevier was from the end of the shelf and then direction dhonveli restaurant. The reef is with struggle marked. We booked reef sharks, rays, sea turtles, moraine, starfish and many colorful fish. Then there was the spa. This we can definitely recommend. We each with three different massages let yourself be pampered and loved it. Massaged in small, beautifully decorated villas.

    The resort can be reached from male with a water plane. The pure flight time is 20 minutes. With start and landing it takes altogether about 35 minutes. There are shops the jeweler and in the souvenir shop. Here there is also toiletries, if you have forgotten something. Of entertainment, there is a games center with billiard table and table tennis plate, as well as the evening entertainment in the thundi bar. We were only three or four nights after eating in the bar. There were never lots of people there. The resort offers daily different excursions. You have to in the lists at the front desk record. In our package were included: a boat trip to the sunset and a half-day either to the hotel-island kuramathi or to the native island rasdhu. The boat trip to the sunset was great. We have many dolphins and the sunset was lovely. There is however also days, where the dolphins not show and the sunset is not always ideal to see. We had the hotel-island kuramathi viewed. There, there are the 300 villas, several restaurants, bicycles and shuttles for the guests. I found the contrast to veligandu very interesting. The trip took 3 hours. In addition we have a snorkel excursion with the dhoni booked. This also has 3 hours lasted. We are three different reefs and each 30-minute snorkeling. The guided tour through the staff quarter was also very interesting. The personalunterkünfte itself has not seen. But all the workshops: electricity, the water treatment, the carpentry, the laundry and so on

If Maldives then again, veligandu. Absolute Island on the 'forced' will to relax, and just nothing to do. You can but also a lot undertake like for instance Iceland trip, sunset boat trip and diving. The beach is super clean. The underwater world you should in any case seen. Snorkeling was completely enough. The island is small but nevertheless the feeling one is all alone. Besides in the restaurant you have almost no Human soul seen, although the hotel was fully booked. I would definitely recommend this hotel. read more

Again and again. Our honeymoon were brilliant. After three months of swarms we still very much and look regularly the pictures at. Everything was perfect. We had a beach villa, which we absolutely recommend. Water villas are certainly also great, but we wanted to at the beach couches and not only on a terrace. The beach section at our villa was perfect (higher room number is better). We have never had so friendly staff experienced. The food wasn't to exceed! Incredible. Our summary: definitely again. The concerns of friends and family in relation to boredom can one forget. There is ... lots of offers and if you snorkel gear has, there is every day plenty to see. read more

We have peace searched and the/found our paradise. The friendliness, cleanliness and really important: non-pushiness in the whole complex was awesome. The food was unbelievable varied and to a very high standard. Except for a very few details ( for example: information on the precise content of some offered excursions) it was a absolute winner! read more

The Veligandu Island Resort & spa is a small complex with altogether about 75 bungalows/villas. We have a jacuzzi water villa. Our villa, and all other building were really clean. Since I personally easily disgust and only reluctantly in hotel beds sleep I immediately upon arrival examined, whether everything 'correct' is. We had booked full board (board). All inclusive was nothing for us, since we spontaneously the wanted to drink, on the we wanted and not only which in all inclusive is contained ( for example cocktail of the day). But it is all a matter of opinion. It were ... German, swiss, English, asians and I believe also french on vacation there. The age structure ranged from middle twenty and went up to the retirement age. Children were during our travels not on site. read more

    The jacuzzi water villa number 152 was really great. I would definitely again take. It was at nothing was saved. Very big and spacious. Everything in dark wood. A super comfortable bed with numerous pillows decorated. Air conditioning, ceiling fan, seating area, desk, flat screen tv ( was only once turned on) and a tasteful, clean bathroom with shower and second terrace with jacuzzi. By the damp, hot climate and the salt were in the shower small traces of rust to see, but not disgusting. I think it is not enough. It looked everything new respectively very well maintained. The mini bar was well stocked, there was a nespresso machine and a kettle ( coffee and tea included without an extra charge). The prices a mini bar are always a bit higher, except for water and now and then a ice cream we didn't need anything. Safe and telephone are available. The loungers and chairs on the terraces are made of wood (plastic we would have not so great found). The stairs into the water was well maintained, not slippery and no chipping. It came even staff vorbeigeschnorchelt around the steps to scrub. Oh, there is also a dvd player (dvds can be borrowed), and a iPod station. Pretty amazing. Very old can not be or it is everything very well kept. We were very satisfied with our choice the water villa but also the bungalows at the beach saw from the outside 't look bad from.

    On veligandu there are two restaurants. The main restaurant was great. In buffet form there was everything which the heart desires. There is something there for any taste. It would blow up the framework everything to enumerate what delicious and quality of high quality food. Live is fresh fish and meat grilled, there was sushi, salads, bread basket without limits, curry, good cheese, desserts appeared as small works of art,... The chef is absolutely nice guy, the departing in the early morning even a good trip home has. Very personable. Then there is still the restaurant for the special dinner and à la carte menus. We had a dinner at the beach at full moon. That was the absolute highlight. So beautifully decorated and so wonderful food. A dream. Champagne, lobster tails, krebstatar on avocado, etc. The wine list was also not bad. We have this evening very much. A beach dinner is very recommendable.

    Already with arrival we were welcomed in a friendly manner and before the check-in there was a ice-cold ice-tea and a still kälters refreshing towel. We were then to our water villa needed and everything was perfectly explains (English are a plus). There is also German speaking staff but it is too many English spoken. From room boy, the waiters to management everything was absolutely perfect. Organization, service, friendliness... We did not find any what we may,. Oh so, yes there is also a laundry service, the above mentioned dr., child care there is not enough, I think. As mentioned, I did not only child on this island seen. As with complaints handled we cannot judge, we had großartigerweise no. Oh yes! My friend blocked we were out of the bath. Inside there was a button the einedrückt the door of the reviewer, the locked. So we could not get into the bathroom. To call a repairman and within füng seconds the problem fixed. A light smile on the lips of this handwerkers and ashamed view from our room and everything was fine.

    We arrived at the Maldives to entpsannen and one time a year absolute peace to enjoy. The us on veligandu fortunate. Boredom never came on. If sport you can however also on this inel be active. The water is in our opinion enough. Windsurfing, kayaking, diving, snorkeling, fitness and yoga are also offered. The entertainment program was as already reported gdiegen. Excursions were offered and evenings there was always a program but not over the whole island was to be heard ( luckily). The pool is beautifully, only and by the pool beach chairs, if you indian ocean on your doorstep has. The beach was absolutely clean and even in the morning, nice! Loungers, strandschaukeln and hägematten were around the island distributed. On the long strandzunge were enough chairs and umbrellas available without the one to close together was. Toilets and showers were extremely clean and pool-, bar and restaurant proximity available. Everything was very modern and tastefully. Beach towels you could in any case take. Internet access with from the room, the bar and the small library. 24 hours internet costs $20. I was pleased, I do not e-mails had to read, I have my computer and my notebook not miss a minute. But if you need it you can in any case use. The gift shop I'have already have written anything.

    We have the transfer from male to veligandu with the seaplane booked. A bus brings a from the airport to the water taxi. The veligandu has a lounge in which you on its seaplane waiting. This is mondern furnished, fully air-conditioned. There is drinks and a small snack. Also the internet you can absolutely free of charge. So the waiting time as in the flight. The transfer has worked smoothly. Veligandu can be reached by seaplane within 20 minutes. It was a wonderful experience. The island isn't very large and in a short period of time to orbit. We had the villa 152 one of the farthest. So therefore still quiet as quiet and private as private :-o the path from the villa to the beach took no 5 minutes. There is a gift shop with practical things like suntan creams and cosmetics which one perhaps forgot to bring. Bathing shoe, beach bags, sarongs and T-shirts, you could also buy, how tacky souvenirs (the we liked not so much). Beside it finds one a jeweller. A dive centre, a wassersportverleih, a doctor, and various sports (badminton, game center, fitness center). There are several excursions offered. Including a sunset dolphin cruise (we have really dolphin seen). A picnic on a other island offered but also a kind of shopping tour on a local island. Oh, kuramathi (another resort) you could also visit in order to see, whether you might be there the next vacation to spend. The evening entertainment was tasteful, funny was the crab race. A movienight and a disco-evening, as well as a Maldives-evening were offered. Great I found the one evening also on the preservation of sensitive marine environment had been informed and the diving school on another evening said. The evening entertainment was rather withhold. We rather in peace at a cocktail sucked and the stars,. I believe however that it other islands is the for the snorkeling the coral reef are better suited than veligandu. Perhaps one must also only further to the reef snorkeling the full korallenprogramm to receive. We did not try that out. Even on the lagungenseite there was many great fish to marvel.
