Our original choice of island has been cancelled and we need to find an alternative but there are so many!

We're looking for:
Good house reef
Sea plane transfer
South ari atoll
All inclusive
Not a HUGE island
Single storey beach bungalows

It will be our first and probably last trip to the Maldives !
We are 2 adults and 2DCs aged 16 and 18.

Any suggestions would be gladly welcomed.

Hi,

DH and I went to Vilamendhoo a couple of years ago. The house reef was good and it meets the rest of your list.

Once I'd decided on the island I shopped around and found the best price with Destination2. I would definitely go back.

We stayed at the Conrad rangali - was good as two small islands so you can go for a walk. I don’t think it does AI bur has sea plane etc and the underwater restaurant which is good.

@MonkeyTennis34 that would be fine :)

Vilamendhoo would be a very good option, often recommended for teens

You could also look at Centara Grand, Lily Beach. But I’d choose Vilamendhoo with teens over these.

At a higher price point, Mirihi, Conrad Rangali, Outrigger and Constance Moofushi

Although it doesn’t quite tick all your requirements, you might want to have a look at Meeru. We had an amazing time here, DC were 14 & 12. Would go back at the drop of the hat. All inclusive was amongst the best we’ve had.

Been to Vilamendhoo twice and highly recommend

Also recommend Vilamendhoo! House reef is super. Quite laid back with a predominantly diving type of person. Zero influencers taking selfies! We much preferred it to the more “luxury” resort that we visited on the same trip.
