Jamsheed, the hotel manager of Nala Vili Hotel on the island of Ukulhas in the Maldives, went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. He organised a very special anniversary meal for me, James, and my wife, Audrey, to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. In addition, Jamsheed personally arranged all of our sea excursions, including swimming with whale sharks, manta rays, nurse sharks, and a night fishing trip. Each experience was completely private — just my wife and me — rather than being part of a large group, which made every trip feel incredibly personal and special. We also have personal videos of all our trip experiences. The anniversary dinner on the beach, with the sunset as our backdrop, was truly spectacular and is an evening we will remember forever. Jamsheed’s staff went above and beyond to make the night feel magical. We enjoyed several meals at Nala Vili Hotel, all beautifully prepared and served by wonderfully attentive staff. Before arriving, we did have some reservations due to construction taking place on both sides of the hotel, as other hotels are currently being built. Our concerns were mainly about noise and dust; however, we are very happy to report that neither was an issue at all. The local council on Ukulhas, together with Jamsheed, has worked closely with the building companies to address these concerns. Construction noise is restricted to certain times of the day so as not to disturb residents or guests, and the building sites are properly sheeted to prevent dust from spreading. All the meals we ate at Nala Vili were wonderfully cooked, and the dining area was immaculately clean. As for noise, the only noticeable sounds were from a lively Italian family and their friends — all fellow residents — enjoying their evening with music, dancing, and singing, which only added to the warm atmosphere. We were fascinated by the island’s development since they gained their independence from the UK in 1965, and asked Jamsheed many questions about the people and local life. He kindly arranged a personal tour for us with a wonderfully intelligent and well-informed young man named Irusham, which gave us a much deeper appreciation of the island and its community. Nala Veli, located on Ukulhas. The rooms are wonderfully clean and comfortable. The rooms are excellent value. We arrived on Ukulhas as tourists and left with friends in Jamsheed and Irusham. They helped make our 25th wedding anniversary one we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We can never truly repay their kindness, but we hope this review helps others discover and fall in love with this little piece of paradise, just as we have.
