UNDERWATER
The resort’s crown jewel is its breathtaking seascape, making it a haven for divers and snorkelers. Each dip into the ocean reveals a new world of underwater wonders, with sightings of vibrant marine life in all shapes and sizes.
I learned how to snorkel at Vilamendhoo after countless attempts at swimming with a life jacket. It was here that I discovered how much easier it is to float in saltwater than in a pool! Snorkeling within the designated life buoy areas (always with a buddy, of course), I was captivated by the ocean’s beauty and the vibrant life beneath the surface. My mermaid dreams came true as I swam alongside blacktip and whitetip sharks, pufferfish, squids, triggerfish (with caution!), and so many more.
Even above water, the resort offers magical encounters with majestic creatures like whale sharks (the largest fish in the world), turtles, barracudas, manta rays, and stingrays. These experiences remind us of the wonders that exist beyond land, filling our hearts with joy and awe.
CUISINE
The resort’s themed entertainment extends to its dining experiences at both Funama and Ahima (Adults Only) Restaurant. Each night, the buffet dinners reflect the evening’s theme, with the exception of the consistent Maldivian Night every Friday. The buffet features detailed listings of each dish, including indications for dietary preferences such as seafood allergies, gluten-free, and dairy-free options.
The culinary setup is both informative and creative, with separate sections for main courses, side dishes, and desserts. As a seafood lover, I was disappointed to discover my shellfish allergy during my stay. While I occasionally indulged with antihistamines on hand, I learned to savor other delicious options guilt-free.
The resort also offers à la carte dining experiences, such as Hot Rock (Adults Only), where meals are cooked on volcanic stones, and Asian Wok, where you can unleash your inner chef and surprise yourself with your cooking skills!
