Vilu Residence

Had a great 2 weeks at Vilu Residence. Will be returning in 2027. Great facility and the staff and owners are dedicated to providing excellent service. The cost included daily snorkelling boat trips to see sharks, manta rays, whale sharks and was excellent value. We booked direct and paid on arrival. Nothing was too much trouble from the staff and owners. They helped us fulfil a lifetime ambition to see whale sharks.

We had a amazing time at the Vilu residence. The staff are the stars, could not have been more friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The trips were wonderful - saw whale shark and mantas. Highly recommended. We will be returning.

Awesome stay- such great hosts and the property was lovely and perfect. Our host helped us plan lots of excursions and always so graciously and high quality with a good price- we will stay here again!!! The food was great!!!

The Vilu Residence facility exceeded our expectations. The property manager Rai and the entire staff made us feel like special and welcome guests (from the moment we arrived from Male to the moment we left). Their level of empathy and anticipation of our expectations and preferences can be compared to staying at a 5 star resort. The staff, at our request, completely planned and provided us with several excursions to neighbouring islands (including Dhigurah, Dhiddhoo and Fenfushi). When staying at Vilu Residence, it is worth booking the additional excursions offered by the property: dolphin watching, swimming with whale sharks and swimming with sea turtles on the reef. Their price is moderate and adequate. The facility is new, incredibly clean and ergonomic (everything is in its place). Wifi and air conditioning worked perfectly. Once out of the room, guests have exclusive use of the intimate and elegant patio (which makes the space available to guests much larger). The bikini beach is about a 5-minute walk away. The excellent breakfasts served directly by Rai are to be commended (in particular the slightly spicy original Maldivian-style breakfasts). Standard continental-style breakfasts are also available. The island of Maamigili itself is a good location in terms of transport (airport, regular ferry connections to other islands and about 1 hour and 45 minutes by speed boat from Malé (making the cost of getting from Malé lower and shorter than to other more distant atolls). I wholeheartedly recommend Vilu Residence and Rai. We will definitely be returning.

Stayed for 3 nights before moving onto Dhigurah.  Initially we had the upper room with balcony, but the balcony itself is without any balustrade/protection so we moved to a room downstairs. The rooms are basic but very clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good and I particularly enjoyed having the masala tea in the morning. As mentioned by other guests, Raj, the manager, is a real can-do person and his good humour was appreciated as we arrived jet lagged and grumpy. Bikini beach is within easy walking distance but is tired looking, quite small and good for swimming but not snorkelling. The island of Maamigili isn’t really geared up for tourists so don’t expect much to do in the evenings and there isn’t a huge choice of restaurants. We ate in the nearby ‘The Chef’, the fish curry was good. We did look at one or two excursions, you can expect to pay $170/£135, per couple, for a whale shark trip or a manta ray trip. In summary, Vilu Residence is a good base on Maamigili, Raj will organise everything for you, e.g., for us, our ferry to Dhigurah, but 3 days is more than enough on the island.
