 Vilamendhoo Island Resort 

Dreamy diving, spectacular snorkelling

A laid-back and fuss-free island with good food and fantastic snorkelling and diving.

Vilamendhoo is consistently voted one of the top resorts in the Maldives for snorkelling and diving, and its dazzling house reef is up there with the best you’ll find. There are also plenty of above-water and out-of-the-water things to do, including water sports and daily entertainment from live bands.

Why we love Vilamendhoo Island Resort

  • Head to the Duniye Spa for the signature Ocean Dreaming massage, which uses wave-like techniques

  • Children are very welcome here. There’s a brilliant kids’ playground, wading pool, play room and family-friendly dining and experiences

  • Couples staying in tranquil adults-only villas can enjoy the over-18s Ahima Restaurant and Sunset Bar

  • The marine biology centre work with the Manta Trust to discover more about the manta rays of the South Ari Atoll, and guests can get involved

Rooms

Simple but modern furnishings match the island’s general fuss-free approach, but there are still nice-to-have extras like a coffee machine and a nightly turndown service in each of the 194 rooms. The privacy you get in the Standalone Beach Villas makes this an upgrade worth considering.

Tropical rooms nestled in the island’s gardens, just a short walk from the beach and main facilities, with a partial open-air bathroom and porch deck.

Depending on who you’re travelling with and which villa you choose will depend on whether you’re allocated Funama and Ahima as your main restaurant. There are also à la carte restaurants to enjoy at an additional charge.

Funama
If you’re staying in a Garden Room, Adjoining Beach Villa or Standalone Villa, your meals will be included at family-friendly Funama, an open-air buffet restaurant. Dine inside, or on the overwater deck.

Ahima
Guests in Jacuzzi Beach Villas and Jacuzzi Water Villas will dine at adults-only Ahima for all their buffet-style meals.

Asian Wok
At the island’s eastern end, there’s a live station for traditional Japanese teppanyaki.

Hot Rock
Cook your own sizzling meat, vegetables, and seafood on hot volcanic rocks.

Sunset Bar
Next to the adult’s infinity pool, this is the perfect spot for couples to enjoy sundowners before dinner.

Boashi Bar
Poolside bar serving ice cream, drinks, and smoothies.

Bonthi Bar
Find a place on the overwater deck to sip on a tropical cocktail.

It’s worth making reservations at Hot Rock for a memorable evening cooking your own dishes over volcanic rock.
