Our take

I would choose Veligandu Maldives Resort Island for an easy, unhurried island stay in Rasdu. It has a private beach, sea-view rooms, an outdoor pool and a fitness centre, and diving and spa wellness are available for more active days. The seaplane takes about 20 minutes from Malé but flies in daylight only, so time your flights. Rated 9.6 from 137 reviews, it suits families and couples; night owls will find evenings quiet.

  • ✓Explore the house reef early in the morning for the best snorkeling experience.
  • ✓Take advantage of the fitness center to balance out the delicious buffet breakfasts.
  • ✓Spend an afternoon at the spa for a truly rejuvenating wellness treatment.

Why we love it

  • The exclusive private beach area
  • Rooms with direct sea views
  • Excellent diving and house reef access
  • Dedicated spa and wellness facilities
Why guests love it

Veligandu's sandbank is exactly what the name promises, and our toddler could wade a genuine distance out on the lagoon side without the current we'd worried about. The private beach meant we weren't sharing towel space with day-trippers, and the on-site garden gave us shade for an afternoon nap without leaving the beachfront. It's a small island, so pack activities of your own for the evenings; the pace here is deliberately quiet.
