The sunset villa was the correct choice for me - got to see one fabulous sunset in the 4 days (in late October) I was there. There is no shading umbrella on the deck so it gets very hot in the afternoon. The room was amply spacious for a couple - watch the two steps down to the bed area, esp if you need to get up in the middle of the night. Lighting was good, AC was not as effective as I'd like (very high ceilings). Toilet is a separate room with the window permanently open (understandable), but it's extremely hot and stuffy in there. They need to place a small fan to circulate the air. Two life jackets in the room for average sized bodies (was a big large for my AU12 size female body). 4 bottles of drinking water per day supplied. The white beach areas were amazingly clean and swept daily. Food isn't that important to me and I'm allergic to alcohol, so all I can say is that the breakfast and themed dinner buffets included in my half board was plentiful and tasty. I think having the half board was the correct choice as a lunch and dinner package in the cafe was USD$195. I'd read that extra activities is expensive - I can definitely confirm that! If you arrive during the day, I'd highly recommend the seaplane transfer - amazing views of the resort (and others) and at 30mins, it is much faster and less bumpy than the 90min boat transfer. The Snorkelling was good but not amazing (I didn't fo out on a separate activity- just from my villa). Fish plentiful and some colorful, a bonus baby shark swam past me. Coral dull in colour.

Lovely island that can be walked around in 20-30 mins. Great sandy beaches, beautiful crystal clear waters, plenty of sea life (fish, rays, turtles, reef sharks etc) that all can be observed from the beach or from your over-water bungalow. One side of the island looks out to open sea and the other side of the islands looks towards neighboring islands in the same atoll. The walk from the room to the reception area or the restaurant or the dive shop are all 5-10 mins (but some rooms are much closer to the facilities such as the beach bungalows). Our room was 501 which was one of the Pool Suites. There are 4 pool suites in total. Room 501 has access to the snorkeling reef and at low tide you can enjoy your own private swimming pool. The staff said that Room 501 was the best of the Pool Suites so ask for this room specifically. The restaurant has an amazing selection of food from many different cultures (Indian, Sri Lankan, Maldives, Japanese, Korean, western cuisine...) and always an abundance of fresh produce, fruits, salads. If you take up the All Inclusive dining package then all meals and drinks - even cocktails by the pool - are included. Also included the mini bar in your room however this is only restocked daily. The facilities are clean, the staff are friendly and always willing to help. The room was cleaned daily and the pool was cleaned every 2nd day. What I really appreciated was the pool cleaner asking me if I wanted to add chlorine to the pool. I opted to NOT add chlorine as the pool water flows over the infinity edge into the reef. Having the pool vacuumed every 2nd day was also not necessary but the staff were happy to assist and wanted to make sure you had a great stay. We visited Velifushi in April 2024 which was lovely weather around 32 Deg C. We had a few brief storms that lasted no more than 10 mins during the early hours of the morning but the daytimes were great weather. Highly recommend Velifushi to you.
