Vilu Reef Maldives opened in 1998 and was renovated in 2017. It is now under The Sun Siyam Resorts and was designed by the famous Hong Kong design team Preception. The hotel is located in Dhaalu Atoll and can be reached by seaplane in about 35 minutes from Male. All rooms are circular with spiral roofs, and the interior decor is mainly traditional Maldivian style. The rooms on the island are not large; all beach villa types can accommodate 2 adults and 2 children, some room types have private pools, and there is a children's menu, making it quite suitable for family trips.
Recommended reasons: good snorkeling environment, a relatively large sandbank, suitable for families and honeymoons, and relatively rich activities on the island. During the day there are snorkeling trips, big game fishing, and dolphin watching; in the evening the bar also organizes various entertainment activities. The included breakfast and dinner are buffets, and on Friday nights there is a candlelight dinner on the beach.
First, Vilu Reef has a very good reputation and was ranked second among Maldives resorts for the number of repeat guests and repeat visits for three consecutive years in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Second, the snorkeling here is very good; there is a manta ray cave near the dive center, and there is a fish feeding activity near the jetty every day. Also, if you need, you can find a professional diving instructor at the hotel who will take you to ancient shipwrecks, manta ray caves, and the best snorkeling spots on the island. If you are lucky, you will also encounter very friendly sharks. Third, the hotel has very good greenery, with forest coverage reaching an astonishing 86%, and there is a small sandbank, super fine, truly powder sand. If you are lucky, you can also see blue tears. Fourth, all-inclusive is very worry-free and fits the vacation needs of Chinese people well, for children
First, because it has been open for a long time, some facilities on the island appear somewhat old; second, the snorkeling on the water villa side is not as good as on the beach villa side.
Children 2-11.99 years old are charged 2500 per person
