TripadvisorBased on 6,874 reviews
An enchanting village-style retreat with a medieval twist
Contemporary design rubs shoulders with cobblestoned alleyways and a 400-year-old wine cave restaurant.
Off the beaten track in the peaceful, white-washed medieval village of Megalohori, Vedema is a bougainvillea-filled resort with a swish pool and a scattering of hammocks and sun loungers set among the olive trees. Its townhouses are home to stylish suites and dining is atmospheric; Mediterranean barbecues on the terrace and candlelit dinners in a 400-year-old stone-clad wine cave.

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”
Jeremy FisherKuoni Travel Expert
The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.
Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Vedema offers a range of dining venues. Kick off your day with Greek breakfast favourites at Pergola, enjoy light lunches at Circe and head to the terrace of Alati for Mediterranean dishes served under the stars. Why not celebrate a special occasion with a private dinner set in a 400-year-old wine cellar?
Set in a 400-year-old cave wine cellar, Alati is a sublime dining space with rough stone walls and honeyed arches. Mediterranean cuisine is made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, washed down with the finest wines fit for its setting. There’s a stone terrace overlooking the vineyards too. For something special, book a reservation in the Privé Dining Room to linger over a five- or seven-course degustation menu. All-day eats are served at Pergola Pool Restaurant, from bountiful breakfasts to Greek classics.
Set within the cave-like setting of the wine cellar, Privé Dining offers five and seven-course menus with plenty of flavours sourced from Santorini.

Canava Wine Bar — If you are looking for an atmospheric setting for wine tasting or private dining, head to Canava in the heart of the wine cellar, where wine was first stored here over 400 years ago.

Santorini
Discover Santorini from the Water
One of the island’s lesser known wonders, this chilli pepper paradise is met by a lap of crystalline waves that were made for paddling in. From one sandy stretch to another, the powdery sands of the White Beach will quieten your whirring brain, while a stop at the Black Mountain lends a fresh glimpse at the volcanic isle’s many marvels. Boxed off with a beautiful lighthouse and a plunge into the irresistible hot springs, the fun-filled moments are fuelled by a mouthwatering on-board lunch with wine and dessert thrown in for good measure. • Duration: Full day • Daily departures • Operates: Year-round • Group experience
Santorini
Volcanic Island Cruise
Admire views of Santorini from a different perspective as you cruise around volcanic islands on a traditional Greek boat. First, you’ll sail to the Nea Kameni lava islet, where you’ll join a guided walking tour ascending to the crater of the still-active volcano. Enjoy the sights of Santorini from above before returning to the boat and continuing to the second lava islet, Palea Kameni, known for its hot springs. Here, you can jump off the ship into the thermal waters. Next is the traditional island of Thirassia, where the time is yours to spend as you wish. Relax at the picturesque small port or have lunch in the village of Manolas. You could also transfer to the famous town of Oia, the most photographed place in Greece. The experience concludes with a view over Santorini’s legendary sunset. • Duration: full day • Time: 9.45am to 3pm • Daily departures • Operates from May to September • Group experience Good to know — Not wheelchair/pram accessible as a moderate amount of walking is involved and there are uneven surfaces.

Questions? Sorted.
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
