Velidhoo Hotels from S$100

"My little hut out on the water was pure heaven. I came home yesterday so relaxed and chill. It was the best holiday I've had in a while."

"Absolutely outstanding week in a water bungalow. Excellent staff and service, facilities, food and could not have had a more brilliant time. It is a magical island and surrounded by unbelievably beautiful incredible sea life. Could not recommend more highly. Susil and Aalif in the outdoor dining, Schoag our room attendant, Shareef at the pool restaurant and Dinnusha the pool lady .... were all especially 5*****!"

"The resort strives to preserve the island environment - avoiding plastic, reducing waste, making its own water and supplies. An incredible local community works to make that possible. The vegetation is just magnificent. You can walk around and truly feel the wild nature above. The reef is the main reason we chose Nika and it exceeded our expectations. Nurse sharks, Black fins, turtles and all kinds of tropical fish populate the corals, you can snorkel around the island the be able to see them (also depending on the season). The daily food choice is nice and healthy: lots of fresh fish, Asian ingredients, pasta and a strong Italian footprint. Few bullet points: *The original villas are incredible, but they take much of the landscape and the public beach surface is limited *Some activities seem too expensive. If you really want guests to understand the ocean and its fragility, prices should be more competitive *Entertainment is very limited. Maybe you want to consider updating the evening sessions. The last thing guests wants to see at bar is a ppt - we read presentations all the time in our office! Maybe you could set these at different times of the day, based on guest interest. Evenings should be more Maldivian, more music, more fun *Sometimes prices show older tax. Lotus Spa also not transparent, with fees changing from a promo to the final price *Beach staff not responsive at times. We waited 3 days to try a kayak; every morning we had to search sunbed cushions ourselves."

"The resort was wonderful, the staff were great, food was good and healthy (aside from the desert bar, haha). My only request to improve the stay is to limit the areas that people can smoke, it was very hard to find somewhere that was free of cigarette smoke."

"best vacation place ever overall. great hospitality and facilities provided. excellent experience. "

"I was debating between several islands within the Maldives. I am SOOOO happy my family and I choose to stay with The W. The service was absolutely impeccable, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate my wife and 3 year old daughter (especially Ms. Hadi and Mr. Ali). Our overwater suite was stunningly beautiful. The water sports and activities were experiences I’ll cherish forever. The coral reef around the island was breathtaking and like none of I’ve ever seen before. Thank you again W Maldives and “see you soon”. "

"Staff were so kind and helpful. Location was perfect right by the beach. I wish I could stay longer. Swimming with manta rays and sharks was amazing and swam with a turtle on the house reef."

"It was good overall "

"Island like paradise, excellent and clean rooms, friendly staff! The island has a beautiful House reef with thousands of fish, “Nemos” and corals. The water sports staff were extremely helpful. The island is small and crowded. The rooms are well separated from each other, you feel private. I highly recommend! Thank you to the entire staff for a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back!"
