Veligandu Maldives Resort Island

Veligandu Maldives Resort Island is a secluded five-star retreat on a compact natural island in North Ari Atoll, reached by approximately 20 minutes by seaplane or around 60 minutes by scheduled speedboat from Velana International Airport. Reopened after an extensive transformation, the resort offers 100 contemporary beach and overwater villas, including Jacuzzi categories, private-pool accommodation and spacious two-bedroom combinations. The island’s long sandbank, clear lagoon and accessible house reef create an inviting setting for snorkelling, diving and water sports. Guests can also enjoy an infinity pool, padel and pickleball courts, a games zone, fitness facilities, yoga and treatments at Himeyn Spa. Buffet, à-la-carte and destination dining are complemented by relaxed bars and in-villa service. Selected villas welcome families, while sunset-facing categories reserved for guests aged 12 and above preserve a quieter atmosphere for couples and older travellers.
