Year: 2023

To all our beloved guests,

March is balmy in Veligandu, with warm, clear oceans. We are so delighted to have so many of you enjoying this serene beauty of our secluded haven.

February ended on a positive note. We had a romantic and intense celebration of love with a week of idyll activities from February 11 to 17, 2023. The destination dining and fun day on the beach were the most sought-after.

In February, the island passed the 100-day mark to renovation closure, and Veligandu is continuing the countdown of resort renovation with monthly celebrations of themed weeks. There is a choice of activities to do featuring sustainability in March, Easter fun in April, and it’s all about celebrating the best of Veligandu in May.

Impending March 25 to 31, 2023, guests can receive a ‘sustainable week passport’ by participating in the special events. Exciting prizes like Manta & Turtle Snorkeling Trips, 60 minutes massage at Duniye Spa, Veli Dinner, and many more add-on experiences await the event participants. Remember to get a stamp after completing each event. The value of the endowment depends on the worth of your collected stamps.

During the said week in March, the team curated plentiful events displaying sustainability. So put on your nature warrior hat with us and join the global cause “invest in our planet”. Veligandu will plant the fifth coral frame and switch off non-essential lights for one hour during Earth Hour.

Participate in Veligandu Island and reef cleaning, Deserted Island cleaning and tree planting, catch and release fishing competition, and visit the local waste management site and participate in handing over the donation box. You can also choose to donate to the local island waste management improvement. The donation box will be at the reception from March 25 to 31, 2023.

Veligandu will offer full service until all guests depart on June 1, 2023. We look forward to seeing you this year and seal the hope by extending an invitation to stay with 20% saving for stays in April and May 2023. Book before March 15, 2023, and avail the saving on this limited-time offer.

Stay tuned on our social channels, and we will continue sharing updates of Veligandu.

With lots of love & Blessings,

To all our beloved guests,

Our repeat guests know that Veligandu has two factors of charm. The island’s beauty, the secluded haven ambience, and the resort team’s hospitality. As all would agree, maintaining the island’s beauty while keeping it close to its original pristine state of nature while protecting it against the effects of global warming is a never-ending chore for the resort team, with sustainability being on top of mind.

This sustainability enables our guests to enjoy the expansive beaches, swim with the turtles, snorkel the colourful and thriving house reefs and dive with the manta rays. The delectable buffets and dining options are consciously sourced. We are thrilled with all of our sustainability efforts, and March is an exciting month for the Veligandu team as it commemorates Earth Hour – The World Wildlife Funds (WWF) global grassroots movement uniting people to take action on environmental issues and protect the planet.

Many of our guests know that Veligandu will be closed for renovation from June 1, 2023, thru and October 31, 2024. This is a thoughtful renovation of the island, services, and accommodations. Improvements will incorporate enhanced sustainability initiatives and technological advancements while upholding the values of genuine Maldivian hospitality at Veligandu.

The strive to make Veligandu a top tropical island destination is well received by Travelife accreditation and the most recent Traveller Review awards by booking.com. We want to thank all our guests for your wonderful reviews and feedback.

To let our guests enjoy the best of Veligandu during the time left to experience each month till we return to welcome you back in 2024, Resort will have an extra special week of themed activities each month for guests to enjoy whether you are looking for a holiday with nothing to do or action and experienced pack as you like.

This month’s special week comes with a dose of extra romance celebrated from February 11 to 17, 2023 and includes a fun Valentine Week Passport. This excellent little ‘passport’ booklet is for guests to record memories of the participated events as a collectable stamp. Stamps are issued for select events where reservations must be made in advance. At the end of your stay, guests will be bestowed with a gift based on the number of stamps collected.

March 25, 2023, thru and including March 31, 2023, will mark a week of sustainability-focused activities with its green passport, and April will include an Easter Week Passport from April 8, 2023, thru and including April 14, 2023. If you missed participating in February’s week of romance, do not fret! See the program for inspiration, and the Veligandu team will recreate or provide similar options to celebrate your love when you visit the island next. Discuss your romantic plans with the Veligandu reservations team, and if you are on the island, with your island host so we can help you prepare.

If you still need to plan the visit to Veligandu, we like to extend an invitation to stay for April and May 2023, the last month before we close. The special offer for stays in April and May 2023 includes a 20% savings, including flexible cancellation, and no credit card deposit is required at the time of reservation if booked at www.veligandu.com. This offer is available with our reservations team, your favourite travel agents, and partners.

We look forward to welcoming you to Veligandu Island. However, until we meet again, we will provide a window to our island via social media.

With lots of love & Blessings,

To all our beloved guests,

Happy new year to you and your loved ones. May every day of this New Year glow with bliss, bring success in all phases of your life, freedom of travel, adventure and the joy of experiencing Veligandu.

The countdown for the resort renovation closure had started. For the remaining four months of 2023, we will lead you on a barefoot adventure of a lifetime to experience the best of Veligandu Island and its hospitality and have curated weekly programs for our beloved guests to enjoy every month. Each event is crafted based on a special monthly theme, making it easy for you to hang up on life and be part of Veligandu’s history.

February features a week of romance from 11th – 17th, 2023. A week of sustainable activities is scheduled from March 25th – 31st to resonate with the annual commemoration of Earth Hour, an Easter-licious week of dining and activities from April 8th – 14th, 2023, and a history-making celebration week from May 15th – 21st, 2023 to mark the end of the current Veligandu era just before the resort closure.

We will introduce a Memory Book in February for guests to jot down their thoughts, ideas, secluded island memories, and wish lists for the new, more sustainable, improved Veligandu.

There will be a ‘Veligandu Passport’ for each week as a way for the guests to record special events. A stamp will be issued for select events, which we trust will be a nostalgic souvenir to keep. At the end of your stay, based on the number of stamps collected, guests will also get exciting prizes for participating. The luckiest explorer participating in the May 2023 celebration week will win a 3 nights holiday inclusive of a transfer for two at Veligandu Island when the resort reopens in 2024!
