A snow white sand
bank, tropical lush vegetation, palm trees
surrounded by a turquoise lagoon and deep blue
sea - the first impression of Vilamendhoo proves
to be a lasting one. On Vilamendhoo you are
always close to the sea in the middle of nature.
On Vilamendhoo you find all the ingredients for
an entertaining and relaxing holiday.
Vilamendhoo lies
in the heart of some of the most thrilling dive
sites in the Maldives. Situated between two
channels this long oval island boasts an
exceptional house reef that attracts both divers
and snorkellers back year after year.
Vilamendhoo is well-managed and maintains one of
the best environmental programmes in the
Maldives, which contributes to natural
appearance of the island.
HOUSE REEF
Vilamendhoo is a long, thin island that lies
parallel with the prevailing seasonal currents.
The house reef encircles the island and at 900m
in length is one of the largest accessible house
reefs in the Maldives. At various points down
either side of the island, the edge of the reef
is just metres from the shoreline and beach.
There are 10 entry points on to the house reef,
which varies in depth from 28 to 35 metres.
The reef is beautifully formed with several
shallow caves and overhangs. Owing to its
location gentle currents sweep down either side
of the island attracting many pelagic species in
towards the reef, which itself supports an
abundance of marine life. The dive centre
operates a tank service to the various entry
points and allows access to experienced divers.
BOAT DIVING
More than 40 dive
sites are located within 60 minutes Dhoni ride
of Vilamendhoo. The award winning Werner Lau
dive base on Vilamendhoo operates between 3 to 4
boats two times a day to a variety of sites.
Renowned Maldivian sites like Kuda-Rha-Thila,
Broken Rock and Shark point are regularly dived.
Kuda-Rha-Thila is an unusual reef, which
supports four rock pinnacles encrusted with soft
corals and sea fans. Large schools of snapper
and batfish are regularly seen in the gullies
between the pinnacles. Broken Rock’s most
distinctive feature is a 50 metre canyon that
runs through this beautiful Thila. The canyon is
encrusted with sponges and soft corals and
attracts large volumes of reef fish within its
protective walls.
