With a total of 76 villas, 64 of which are located over the water, the Veligandu Island Resort is a 5-star private-island resort with a great reputation and many return guests. It primarily offers all-inclusive meal packages, as well as upgrades that include alcohol and other extras, yet it's among the more affordable resorts in the Maldives.
Perfect for a honeymoon or any other kind of romantic retreat, the Veligandu Island Resort also has some family facilities so it's more versatile than some of the smaller islands. Those seeking a paradise-like tropical island holiday, but don't have unlimited funds, should find this to be an ideal choice.

Reviews for the Veligandu Island Resort tend to be excellent, which is very impressive considering this is a moderately priced private-island resort. Nearly every guest gushes about the rooms and the service and the setting, as well as the food in the all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant. A few mention that the choices get old during a longer stay, but most are quite happy with them.
The facilities also get high marks, including the few childrens’ and family options available. For a 4-star resort with reasonable prices including all meals and even the optional all-drinks plan, the Veligandu Island Resort seems like a very solid choice.
