Whether it's a honeymoon, anniversary, or you just need some time away as a couple, this is the place for a romantic, intimate, island getaway. Here you will find carefree, barefoot relaxation, whether it's in a beachfront villa with your outdoor sofa swing, or in an overwater villa where you can watch the beautiful sunsets. With one of the best house reefs in the Maldives, snorkel, dive and explore the rich and varied marine life. A couples spa massage and a complimentary sunset dolphin cruise will add that extra touch to make it a holiday to remember. Vilu Reef is also a great option for families with a complimentary kids club for children aged between 3 and 11. Whoever you're travelling with, you're sure to unwind in this boutique resort with only 103 villas giving you the option for as little or as much interaction with others as you like. If you do fancy a little more activity, complimentary non-motorised water sports are included, and there are excursions included too - visit a local island or hop on a dolphin sunset cruise. Come evening you'll be spoilt for choice when picking a restaurant, all of which are accompanied by stunning ocean views. Afterwards, watch a movie under the stars, enjoy some local music, or simply retreat to your villa to relax with a drink from the mini-bar. When the seaplane arrives to take you home, you won't want to leave this island paradise.

We recently returned from this beautiful island , what more can I say only that it is well worth the visit it is truly paradise. All the staff are so friendly and polite and nothing is too much trouble, we stayed in an overwater villa with a plunge pool which was delightful the sunset and sunrise was stunning . The food was good , it could be better catered for English in the aqua, restaurant, we noticed there wasn’t much food for children so just bare this in mind if you have fussy eaters . everyone gets their own island host on arrival who looks after you throughout your stay ours was called Niyaff who was absolutely brilliant . The island is spotlessly clean and also the villa which was cleaned twice a day . The Spice restaurant and the Well Done are al a carte restaurants the food is excellent in these but make sure you book in on your app as the reservations go quickly it’s better to book in advance weeks before you go on Holiday as you can always cancel if you don’t like it . All inclusive is a better option if you can as the drinks are expensive . Our overall experience of the Maldives was excellent and we will be returning next year. Also you must go snorkelling it is a fantastic experience.
