Vilu Reef is one of the newest resorts in the country, having opened only in November 1998. Being new, and located in an atoll which is completely new to tourism, this beautiful looking island is among those with a great potential to make it big in the next millennium. The newness of the atoll to tourism ensures that there are virgin dive sites in the vicinity - places where few other divers, if any have ever been to before - and, if you are a true pioneering spirit, you will do well to stay on this island and be among the first to enjoy its charms.

The island has a lush tropical vegetation which the owners have taken care not to disturb. Every building on the island has been constructed with an eye to detail and all blend in well with the nature. The island's symbol is the graceful nautilus shell and this is the theme which the owners have followed in designing all buildings, including the 68 rooms on the island. The rooms are well-furnished and modern in design with a collection of modern amenities that adds utmost comfort and convenience to your stay.

The atmosphere on this island, which is accessible from the Male' International Airport in just 35 minutes by seaplane, is the kind which lets you enjoy everything by yourself in your own time. The service, though friendly, is unobtrusive and gives you the feeling of being entirely on your own, on your own desert island.

The island offers good food and a considerable choice of outlets in which to enjoy your meals. The Nautilus Bar becomes a buzz of activity during the night and is becoming known for the choice of lethal tropical cocktails that the island's proficient barman concocts. There is a wide range of watersports and other activities to choose from such as excursions to neighbouring local islands and staying in desert islands for the day.

Vilu Reef is an island which lets you enjoy all the excitement of being on your own desert island, doing things on your own while all the time there's a bevy of proficient staff who takes care of your every need quietly and unobtrusively.
