Vilamendhoo Island Resort

Vilamendhoo, South Ari Atoll

194 beds

Vilamendhoo Island Resort lies along the outer reef edge of South Ari Atoll, where deep blue channels meet a wide turquoise lagoon. The island has retained much of its natural form, with broad beach vegetation and native shrubs that stabilize the shoreline. Seagrass meadows surrounding the island are left intact, attracting green turtles and rays that graze in the shallows. The nearby reef, rich with coral growth and small reef sharks, reflects the atoll’s healthy marine ecosystem. Once used as a rest stop by fishermen, Vilamendhoo continues to embody the natural rhythm and life of the southern atolls.
