Anantara Veli Maldives Resort

I was celebrating my birthday with my wife. It was magical. Exceptional trip. Truly world class. Pristine white sand beaches, I’d swim to the beach and back to my room, great cocktail by the beach, the romantic dinner was awesome, the meals, live kitchen at Origami restaurant, para-sailing, scuba-diving, too much to talk about! Oh my house was the best!

What a wonderful experience we had, celebrating our 30th anniversary here. Special touch by the resort with a complimentary bottle of champaign and anniversary cake. The food is delicious n well curated. We particularly enjoyed Aqua restaurant, which serves Italian food. Ramu the manager was spot on with his recommendations. The service staff are excellent, esp with our personal host Faz who was very attentive to our needs. Felt very pampered. We enjoyed chatting with and interacting with the staff. The resort is just 30 mins by speed boat from Male airport and the over-water villa is simply luxurious. It was especially fun moving around between Veli and Dhigu resorts on pontoon crafts. Teeming with undersea wildlife, the snorkelling at Gulhifushi island is just unbelievable. The resort had free loan of snorkel equipment and my wife learnt to snorkel here, first time! To top it off, we really enjoyed the experience. Saw black tip sharks, sea turtle, stingrays, spotted eagle rays and more. This is really a memorable experience, would recommend it anytime.

The hotel and the staff were really professional friendly and really helpful with everything you need. They never say no. And they’re really accommodating especially Ibrahim he was really great, fast, and supportive.

We stayed at Anantara Veli Resort for 3 days, and the experience was absolutely excellent. From the moment we arrived, the warm and professional behavior of the staff made us feel truly special. The food was outstanding, offering a wide variety of delicious options every day. Another great advantage is that the resort is very close to Malé Airport, which makes the journey smooth and convenient. A special mention goes to Ali, who was exceptionally attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. He really made our trip memorable with his outstanding service. We highly recommend Anantara Veli Resort and look forward to visiting again!

We are truly delighted to have chosen Anantara Veli for our honeymoon. It has been a wonderful trip where we enjoyed delicious food, luxurious accommodations, and created many unforgettable memories. We are especially grateful to Manager Ashruf and our butler Ali for their attentive care and support throughout our stay. In particular, Ali was absolutely amazing – his thoughtful service made a huge difference to our experience. He truly deserves recognition and was the greatest help in making our honeymoon so perfect and memorable.
