Veligandu Island Resort & Spa

We stayed at Veligandu for the last week of July in a jacuzzi beach villa on the sunset side. In my opinion its the best villa on the island - right on the beach and a few steps into the sea. A lot is spoken about regarding sunrise and sunset side - windier and calmer side - which is best? We were amazed at the extreme difference - the sunrise side was very calm - with almost no wind and still sea. A few steps across to the other side and the sea had waves with wind which was a very welcome breeze. We had actually emailed ahead of arrival asking for a JBV on the calm side but we were given one on the windier side. We were very thankful that they didn't give us what we asked for! Each villa has a private path to the front door with a hose attached to the wall so you can clean your feet before going into the villa. I didn't wear shoes for the whole week but if you don't like walking on sand they do provide flip flops in your room for outside walking. We stayed all-inclusive plus and enjoyed using the minibar which was included in the price. Some drinks weren't included but its clearly stated. The house wines and rose were a good quality. The buffet is incredible - so much choice and everything is kept hot and tasty. The sunset cruise is a must and is included - we had dolphins swimming alongside the boat. The resort is very romantic and caters mostly for couples. The only kids we saw were a few teenagers with their parents who kept to themselves.
