A Culinary Voyage at Vilamendhoo
While Vilamendhoo’s stunning location in the Maldives and its awe-inspiring marine life are celebrated far and wide, there’s another aspect of this resort that deserves equal praise - its culinary prowess.
Yes, you’ve read that right. The food at Vilamendhoo is not just good, it’s extraordinary.
This isn’t your standard resort fare. Here, three buffet meals a day take you on a delightful journey around the world, and if you’re staying for a week, just imagine the variety of experiences your palate gets to enjoy! No one wants to endure lackluster food, especially when you’re on vacation. At Vilamendhoo, you don’t have to.
Every day, you’re treated to an assortment of international cuisines, all beautifully prepared and authentically delicious. From the fragrant spices of local Maldivian dishes, the hearty comfort of Mexican and Italian meals, to the intricate flavors of Chinese, Sri Lankan, and Indian cuisines, there’s something for every food lover here.
Barbecued delights tantalize your senses, while the Western corner provides familiar comfort. Vegetarians are well-catered for, and there’s even a thoughtful kids’ corner.
The salads are fresh, vibrant, and varied - a testament to Vilamendhoo’s commitment to providing healthy, balanced meal options. And for those with a sweet tooth, the dessert section is heaven-sent.
In short, Vilamendhoo’s dining experience is a veritable feast for the senses, equally as impressive as its vibrant marine life and breathtaking views. So, come for the whale sharks, manta rays, and sea turtles, but stay for the extraordinary food. It is truly an experience to savor!

The resort is just amazing, everything I espected and more: white sand, clear and warm water. It has a house reef with many colorful fishes, rays and sharks where you can swim every time you want. Even from the vilas you can always see fishes. They have also excursions (snorkeling or diving) to see the manta rays, the whale sharks and the turtles.
The food was every single day very good, I was quite surprised. All the staff treat the guests so kindly, that make you feel welcome and at home. Thank you to all the staff, specially to our waiter Thao.
It was an amazing experience and I definitely want to come back :)

We had a wonderful week on Vilamendhoo last week. We are a couple with a baby boy (1,5 yrs). We selected this island because of the house reef, hidroplane transfer and its detailed homepage.
We had a standalone beach villa on the north side with a great view.
The island is very nice when it comes to the vegetation and the number and sort of fishes in the water.
I had just one small disappointment with the turtle excursion starting time. It was at 14:00 in the printed materials but it started at 9:00 thus I did not have the chance to join.
Also it would be nice to have a kids corner with supervision to have some free time without the baby. Babysitting service possibility was not mentioned during the checking process.
The staff however made great job continuously. They did their best to make the vacation unforgettable. Special thanks to Ibrahim, Shiyaz, Suchulu and Phamila in the restaurant, Ayaaz who kept our room clean and also thanks to the barist in the Boashi bar.
It was a really great vacation!

This was our first trip to the Maldives and we loved everything about this resort. It's said to have one of the best house reefs in the Maldives and it definitely exceeded our expectations. The amount of sea life was beyond amazing - sea turtles, rays, sharks, eels, and thousands of colorful fish. We spent much of our time snorkeling and saw something new each time. Please use reef safe sunscreen and take care not to damage the coral in order to keep this reef in pristine condition. We stayed in a jacuzzi beach villa which was only steps from the water. The room had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. Because of our room, we were able to eat in the adults only restaurant which is a buffet for all meals. We found the food to be exceptional and varied. We were very pleased. There are 2 a la carte restaurants. We did eat at Asian Wok for one meal and it was also amazing. We sat waterside and watched the fish as we ate. We chose to do all inclusive which for us was a great option. I'm already looking forward to returning.
