Vilamendhoo Island Snorkeling Trip: A Visual Feast!

Coming back from the Maldives and I'm seriously in withdrawal, the water villas at Vilamendhoo are stunning! There are plenty of fun activities! Overall, highly recommended! 🚁 Transportation Guide: Once off the plane, head straight to the reception or counter A16 to find the pick-up staff. The process is easy and pleasant: handle the seaplane procedures➡ enjoy the seaplane lounge➡ 45 minutes of seaplane flight directly to the island, it couldn't be smoother! 💺 Seating Tips: As a veteran with 5 seaplane experiences, I highly recommend the front row seats! Not only is there more breeze and less heat, but the smell of gasoline is also lighter, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and take photos without obstruction. Best of all, you can see the pilot flying the plane barefoot! 🏝 Island Transportation: The island is small and compact, no need for bicycles, a ten-minute walk will take you to the restaurant and main activity area. There are also regular boats between the water villas and the main island, which is very convenient. 🍃 Nature and Entertainment: 1. Snorkeling Experience: Don't miss the daily free house reef snorkeling activity, especially the coral garden at the intersection of the channel and the lagoon, the colorful corals and fish are dazzling, and you might even be lucky enough to encounter a large sea turtle! 2. Ecological Exploration: On the beach, the main island, and near the water villa docks, we encountered Baby sharks several times. At night, you can see rays swimming under the water villas, the ecological environment is simply amazing! 3. Bird Feeding Fun: There are many parrots on the island, and the bird feeding activity twice a day is very interesting. Hold some sunflower seeds in your hand, and the birds will land on it, enjoying nature while having fun. 4. Sunset Cruise: Shortly after setting out to sea, you can see a group of dolphins eager to perform, jumping and spinning in the water, a sight to behold. Returning under the afterglow of the sunset, leaving behind wonderful memories. 🍽 Dining Recommendations: 1⃣ Kaani Buffet Restaurant: A variety of dishes with Chinese labels, suitable for all tourists. There are also different themed nights every evening, adding fun to dining. 2⃣ Azzurro Water Villa Restaurant: Specially prepared for water villa guests, with a Chinese menu. The breakfast buffet is rich, and the lunch and dinner à la carte menu is diverse, ensuring you can taste different delicacies every day. 3⃣ Kuredhi Pool Bar: With a 350 square meter infinity starry sky pool, there is also a children's pool and mini sun loungers, a great place to relax. 🏠 Accommodation Experience: We chose the Deluxe Sunset Water Villa, with a 7-meter long private pool, hammock, and sea view bathtub all included. Here, you can easily take photos with a blockbuster feel. The second-floor viewing platform is an excellent spot to watch the sunrise and sunset. If the budget allows, I suggest choosing water villas for the entire stay; of course, sand villas are also a good experience option. 💁‍♀ Service Information: Although there is no butler service, any needs can be met by dialing 0 to contact the front desk. Friends who are not proficient in English can request Chinese service, remember to book various activities while the Chinese front desk is available. 🌟 Summary: Vilamendhoo Island is not only a paradise for relaxing the body and mind but also an unforgettable adventure. From the stunning snorkeling to the close-to-nature bird feeding activities, every place is full of surprises. If you are looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and embrace nature, Vilamendhoo Island is definitely your top choice!
