Quick Description |

Veligandu is a tropical paradise where you can enjoy the utmost comfort and tranquility. There are only a few places even in the Maldives that can compare to this island’s natural beauty. Surrounded by beautiful white sandy beaches merging into a huge sandbank of 80 metres, Veligandu is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday.
Veligndu in local language means a large stretch of sand, and this is what the island is. A large L shaped stretched of white sand stretches out into the crystal clear aqua marine lagoon that surrounds the sand bank. It is an island where you can let your self go free, kick off your shoes, and discover the beauty by your self.
