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

The 'slightly different' island in the middle of the Paradie

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

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

- 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 average age was at 45 years. read more

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
