About Veligandu

Natural. Seclusion. Luxury.

Established in 1984 as one of the pioneering resorts in the Maldives, Veligandu Maldives Resort Island is nestled in the North Ari Atoll, just 20 minutes by seaplane from Velana International Airport. The resort underwent an extensive 18-month renovation and reopened in November 2024 as a fully reimagined 5-star luxury retreat.

Set across 22 peaceful acres of natural island, Veligandu features no man-made additions — just pristine beaches, a vibrant house reef, and the iconic Veligandu sandbank, named after the resort itself. 100 meticulously redesigned villas blend contemporary island-chic with natural Maldivian beauty.
