An outstanding hotel, extremely well trained and attentive staff and service delivery, in a paradise esque setting. We literally couldn’t find fault in it. Superb all inclusive package, which is good value given the quality of the ingredients. Impeccably trained staff who are mindful of your every need. Special mentions to Ibrahim and the entire breakfast team, Someone and the whole cleaning team, and Fathi who was a brilliantly helpful guest executive. The whole staff and management team should be really proud of how they delivery once in a life time opportunities for guests. Thank you all

Returning back to Anantara Veli after 13 years was a breathtaking experience. It felt like returning home. Our Villa manager, Hameez, was so accommodating and made our stay extra special. The snorkeling just infront of our villa was a memorable experience. We got to see plenty fish and black tip reef sharks . The villa was clean and well kept which was serviced twice daily . The breakfast buffet at fushi Cafe was spectacular . There was everything that you could think of ! We had dinner twice at Cumin, where the chef Uttam was extra accommodating so kind and friendly that we wished we had more days to eat there. Origamis sushi was amazing. The spa facilities were great. Just stepping into the spa, I instantly felt relaxed. We cried when we left and still crying till this day looking at the gorgeous picturesque Anantara Veli We loved every bit of our holiday. Hoping to return soon.

We had such a great time here and it was our first time coming to Maldives. Super Exciting!!! Thank you for our private villa host “Ibrahim”. He made our plans went smoothly and easier. Also, He was literally on time so we can go everywhere we want to. This trip was amazing and we hope to visit again if we get a chance. Maldives is The Best!!!

We had an amazing getaway for our anniversary. We stayed on the adults only island Veli, but had access to the family friendly island also and it looked amazing- the families all looked like they were having a great time with kids being entertained & parents getting a break. The location of the resort from Male is great and easy to get to without crazy amounts of overhead traffic. The islands are beautiful & well maintained. The staff are incredibly helpful & the facilities were all world class, we had no complaints & absolutely loved our trip! Highly recommend Anantara

Absolutely loved our stay at Anantara, nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. Our host ibrahim was awesome he looked after all our needs from food requests to mosquito repellents to driving us wherever we needed to go. Lagu and his team at cumin made sure we had the best dining experience everyday, the head chef Uttam would ask us every day what we wanted to eat and make the most delicious home cooked food for us, it was divine, the last day we got the best pau bhaji without even requesting us, thank you so much. The egg curry and roti was divine too and the breakfast I’m going to miss so much!! The resort is perfect for couples and gives you access to two other islands which are also amazing the dhigu is more child friendly but Don in the aqua fin bar made us the meat cocktails, the tequila and buckthorn one I’ll never forget! The picnic island is great for snorkelling and just chilling. The Thai restaurant baan hura was amazing too and we had the best experience seeing all the sharks and turtles whilst dining ❤️ Everything was just awesome and we can’t wait to come back. The only thing I would say was a set back we had requested floating breakfast and all our choices were also submitted which let me to believe the overwater Vila must have a pool, which it didn’t this was disappointing as it was for our 25th wedding anniversary. But joelle made every effort to make up for it :)
