"Great for keen divers, the Vilamendhoo Island Resort and Spa is a handsome Maldivian resort." Full review

Overall the food is not a highlight, but the main bar is the heart of the resort, and the guests on all-inclusive packages make sure it keeps busy.

"Offers a solid midmarket experience to visitors who usually come on all-inclusive deals. The beaches are narrow around most of the island...the house reef is particularly good for snorkelling" Full review

There are W Welcome Ambassadors to greet them and direct them to the W Van that takes them to the W Lounge, where they are offered food, drinks, and, if they choose, a shower.
Condé Nast Traveler "Fesdu has one of the best 'house reefs' of all the resort islands, which means spectacular dive and snorkel spots right off the beach, as opposed to the boat rides often required elsewhere." Full review
i
It is of course possible to completely avoid these and all other distractions at the spa, which is bigger and better than most with its spacious teak-floored treatment rooms on the water.
Jetsetter "South Beach swagger on an Indian Ocean island, with designer digs, a spa, and nightclub." Full review
