Velidhu, Maldives

Velidhu is a classic little traditional resort in North Ari Atoll making it a favourite for divers and snorkellers. While the accommodation is basic, all the villas are detached and generally have nice access to the beach.

The resort has a lovely, relaxed, laid back, friendly atmosphere and the combination of a committed team of staff, good food (we love the fish curry!) plus excellent snorkelling and diving continue to make this a popular choice for those not wanting the over-priced luxury resorts now in abundance.

The local budgies fly in and perch on your shoulder as you serve yourself at the buffet at mealtimes! A good all-inclusive option makes Velidhu a great choice for an authentic Maldivian getaway without breaking the bank.

Located on North Ari Atoll which is 85 kilometers south of Male and approximately 20 minutes from Male International Airport by sea plane.

The beach bungalows were developed in several phases and hence the rather seemingly unplanned layout of rooms, each being built in a circular shape many with a verandah surrounding the bungalow. Some of the rooms are better placed than others in terms of view and position. The green water bungalows, half facing east and half west, are looking a little tired on the exterior but internally are spacious and comfortable. They also have a large sundeck which runs around 3 sides of the bungalow, with steps into the lagoon. Access to the lagoon is from the communal sundeck at the end of the water bungalows jetty.

One of the main reasons for choosing Velidhu is the All-Inclusive package which is summarised below in more detail.
