Find Hotels in Gnaviyani Atoll, Maldives

I was surpirsed the night before I was to arrive to be innformed that the Viluxer Retreat had sustained water damage and I would be moved to the Viluxer Veyli. On the website- the Veyli hotel was listed as not open for business. I began wondering if either place would be fit for quests. My transfer plane from the Male to the Fuvahmulah was delayed. Nic at Viluxer Sales was pro-active in contacting my Male accommodation to enquire about allowing a late check out and arranged for a walking guide for Male. The Veyli is a much larger guest house than the Viluxer, though the rooms are smaller. The team could sense my apprehension and worked hard to assure me that I would have a great holiday. The Viluxer is across the road from a rocky beach, The Veyli is more central within the island and it is a good 20 minute walk to the great beach. The staff were more than willing to drive quests to and from the beach. After my first day, it became apparent to me the guesthouse had a fantastic chef. I spoke with him about my personal preferences in exploring local Maldive cuisine. During my stay he provided my with a variety of amazing meals. Employees play multiple roles and come from working at other 5 star resorts. They delivered a very high level of service. I felt extraordinarily cared for by everyone on this team. I know they are still working out some of the details of their outdoor activities. Riding a bike is the best was to explore the island. If you already know how to surf, dive and snorkel, and fish you are in good hands. Fuvahmulah problems with plastic bottles are twofold. The first is the proper disposal of plastic bottles by the locals. The second part is cleaning up the plastic debris that the surf deposits daily on the beaches. And as a tourist, save and crush all the plastic bottles you use and take them home to be recycled. Thank you Viluxer for a very fine holiday. I will be back...
