Anantara Veli Maldives Resort

I really don’t want to leave! I’ve had such a wonderful time here. I wish I could stay longer.🥹❤ All the staff here are so lovely, friendly, and always smiling. Everyone has been incredibly kind and the service has been absolutely amazing! 🥰❤️

Staying at this resort felt like escaping to another universe. The atmosphere is breathtaking, and the hospitality is second to none. Every staff member we encountered was warm, friendly, and deeply attentive to our needs. The dining experience was incredible, offering a brilliant selection of cuisines that hit the mark every time. We are especially grateful to Fathi, who went out of his way to ensure we were perfectly looked after throughout our stay. Additionally, Ishara at the bar was fantastic—not only delivering great service but also providing wonderful local recommendations for things to buy before we left. Highly recommend

This accessible resort about 12 miles south of Male airport (you see aircraft on finals from the resort for any plane spotters) allows you to travel conveniently, via a 25-minute speed boat journey, to where your welcome drink, the Maldives smile and local hospitality awaits. The resort is great, where two sperate atolls are linked by a regular and casual boat cruise, allowing you access to both. This resort gives a great blend of both pure relaxation across extensive beach areas, an infinity pool (with an ocean view) & open bar area along with good facilities to keep active if you want. The spa facility was good (they have two options; ocean stilts or forest vista). The room facility was good along with excellent and timely housekeeping and we were looked after well by our attentive concierge, who gave us an excellent service upon any requests. The F&B offering is very strong and our package allowed access to most restaurants as & when we wanted (we also got a credit in their "premium" restaurants). This is on top of a good breakfast offering, both a la carte and buffet, across two separate outlets. The food was fresh and excellent. This place allows you the freedom, to do what you want when you want, and the staff where all very helpful and accommodating. We travelled from Dubai, and it will become a definite return option for that chill-out annual holiday. You will feel sad to leave.

excellent resort with superb service.. highly recommended. special thanks to our host Ibrahim who helped alot during our stay.

An unforgettable anniversary escape We stayed here to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary, and the resort exceeded every expectation. The setting is stunning — turquoise water, beautiful villas, and sunsets we will remember for a long time. What truly made the stay special, however, was the service. Our host, Ibrahim, went far beyond what we could have asked for. He arranged a private anniversary dinner for us, made sure our villa was beautifully decorated on arrival, and looked after every small detail with genuine warmth. Nothing ever felt rushed or routine — he made us feel personally cared for from the first day to the last. The dining, the spa and the overall atmosphere were all excellent, but it is the people who make this place what it is. Thank you, Ibrahim, for making our anniversary so memorable. We hope to return.
