A relaxing and memorable stay.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

I truly enjoyed my stay at the resort — it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I loved the place, the atmosphere, and the resort’s team. The room was excellent and very clean, which added to our comfort throughout the trip. A special thank you to Mr. Ibrahim for his outstanding hospitality and for taking such good care of us during our stay. His support made our trip even more memorable. Highly recommended!

We stayed at the hotel towards the end of June and had fantastic weather. The experience from the airport to hotel was superb. Noa looked after us at the hotel and was excellent throughout. All staff were superb especially at Cumin restaurant. Great quality food all around. Location was excellent

WONDERFUL Experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

I had a truly wonderful stay in Veli, Maldives. This has become the vacation that all my future holidays will have to live up to. The facilities were beautifully maintained, and the service from the staff was outstanding. The food was also top notch. Every day, I tried different cuisines from their various restaurants, and each meal was a delightful experience. A special thank you to Khun Yok, who went above and beyond with her recommendations for excursions and local cuisine. Her warm and cheerful demeanor made her a welcoming presence throughout my stay, and she really helped me feel at ease. I’d also like to commend Manik, Lyn, and Joelle for their attentiveness and excellent service. They were always approachable and kind. My experience here was unforgettable, not just because of the stunning beauty of the Maldives, but also because of the heartfelt warmth and hospitality of the staff. I will definitely come back.

Dream honeymoon vacation

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

We had the most unforgettable honeymoon, and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing villa host Fara. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel incredibly welcome and went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was perfect. She was always attentive, thoughtful, and quick to help with anything we needed — whether it was arranging romantic dinners, recommending hidden gems nearby, or making sure the villa was always spotless and beautifully prepared. Her genuine hospitality and warm personality truly made us feel at home. We stayed in the over water pool villa and it was the best villa we have ever stayed in. The resort is clean and luxurious and there were many food options available! Thank you Fara so much for making our honeymoon so special. We’ll always remember this trip to Anatara Veli as one of the best trips of our lives.

MUST READ for those in doubt

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

anyone planning a trip to Maldives and is overwhelmed with the reviews on all forums. i will save you the headache. close your eyes and book Anantara VELI (adults only) or Anantara DHIGU (family friendly). Two words shall sum up the review for those who don't wish to read on. ABOVE & BEYOND We stayed at VELI for 5 nights and all our hospitality expectation were exceeded. no stress with regards to airport dedicated lounge on arrival, short 30-40 mins speedboat ride from MALE. super early check in (8am-ish) to accommodate our flight arrival. no funky business with billing or trying to nickle and dime you for in room drinking water or any other fears you may have from reading other resort negative reviews. choose from 8 or so restaurants for your meals. (we never repeated, other than breakfast) everything was made to order and the chefs even made special accommodations to sort out our off-menu cravings. After our shark snorkeling trip, we missed the 4pm lunch cut-off but the AQUA bar staff and pizza chef made us 2 pizzas from scratch. I don't think my wife and I ever got to hear the word "NO" for any request. room was clean, new and had all amenities +++ free bottle of champagne and a birthday cake on arrival. all staff members from the head of the resort, managers, service staff, housekeeping etc. etc. had only one goal in mind, and that was to make the stay memorable, comfortable and ensure your return. cannot say enough, knowing that i have barely covered a fraction of their hospitality excellence. We will definitely revisit .
