Veligandu Maldives Logo – They story

Veligandu’s logo and the brand name, which evolved with the resort’s growth since 1984, symbolize the island’s service excellence.

The resort rebranded from Veligandu Island Resort & Spa to Veligandu Maldives Resort Island in March 2024, and a captivating new logo reflecting the island’s beauty was unveiled for the November 2024 re-opening after 18 months of renovation. This refreshed identity reflects our dedication to providing unparalleled experiences while staying true to our core values of hospitality and service excellence.

The evolution of the logo

  Veligandu ‘s inaugural logo made its debuted in 1984, showcasing a meticulously hand-drawn representation of the islands’ sandbank. It symbolises the very essence of the island; the logo encapsulates the uniqueness of Veligandu, where “Veligandu” translates to sandbank in Divehi, the local Maldivian language.
  A touch of sophistication was added to Veligandu ‘s visual identity in 2018 with a chic logo design. This refined logo not only signifies the distinctive southward sandbank and the island but also represents the abundant coconut palm trees of the island’s flora.
  March 2024, unveil a redesigned logo that embodies simplicity and modern aesthetics while incorporating the cherished elements of nature the guests of Veligandu hold dear. The minimalistic logo represents the island’s natural beauty and the harmonious interaction between nature and people and conveys a profound emotional connection among visitors, the awe-inspiring natural landscape, and the warmth of the heartfelt Veligandu’s hospitality. The logo’s typography reflects elegance and luxury.

The new captivating colour palette is inspired by the Indian Ocean and marine life, the island’s greenery, and the sandbank. The logo is set in a deep blue that echoes Veligandu’s blue reef and the geological setting of the resort island emerging from the ocean while, the logo’s whiteness is reminiscent of the soft white sand of the sandbank.

Veligandu is open for reservations starting from March 30, 2024, for stays beginning in November 2024.  Enjoy 40% savings with Special Offers »

Veligandu Island Resort & Spa Unveils a Collection of Time-honoured Photographs, Showcasing the Property’s Inspiring 37-year History

The Tale of Veligandu

Guests can connect with Veligandu’s past through a collection of old photographs that provides a window into some of the fascinating moments of the resort’s humble beginnings.

The secluded haven of Veligandu Island Resort & Spa in North Ari Atoll, a property of the Crown & Champa Resorts Collection – the leading resort group in the Maldives, unveils ‘The Tale of Veligandu’, a compilation of time-honoured photographs which plunges readers into the charm, history, and transformation of one of the Maldives’ pioneering resorts. 

Announcing ‘The Tale of Veligandu’, Mr. Fathuhulla Ibrahim, General Manager, said, “Veligandu is one of the long-established resorts in the country, and we have created it for our guests to connect with our fascinating past. It is brimming with vivid photography and an inspiring archive of images over the years, showcasing some of the most captivating and heart-warming moments of Veligandu history. We cherish these moments in our hearts; these moments are our life.” 

The resort’s humble origins began in 1984 with the development of a small island in the Indian Ocean, which was named ‘Veligandu’ after the Dhivehi word for ‘sandbank’, starting only with 17 standard rooms made with corals, which were used as bricks during the time, and with no air conditioners, 1 small restaurant, 1 bar, 2 Dhonis, 1 jetty, and with less than 50 team members. The resort went through a series of refurbishment works, year after year, to bring in a fresh look, sustainability, and innovative technologies to keep up with the ever-changing tastes of global travellers whilst maintaining its local Maldivian charm. 

Today, Veligandu Island Resort & Spa has distinguished itself as one of the leading resorts in the country, voted amongst the top resorts for romance in Asia and the Maldives. With 91 tastefully appointed accommodations, including over-the-water and beach villas, an impressive array of entertainment, facilities, and activities, as well as the warm Maldivian hospitality the resort is renowned for, guests are guaranteed a truly authentic and memorable holiday experience in this secluded paradise.

The Tale of Veligandu
