Fantastic experience! The Ocean Villa was exceptional, service and private butler fast and effective! Ali thank you! Amenities of the best quality… We tried most of the activities and we had tones of options! Scuba diving and sea-bob snorkeling gave us the best of memories! What a colorful world under the sea… Only the weather let us down… two days of raining but still in this hotel we had plenty of stuff to keep us pleasantly busy… The treatments in the spa and wellness center GREAT! Promise to return in the near future 🙏

Where does one start, a hidden gem that luxury travelers need to know about. This privately owned resort, competes and exceeds many of the better-known luxury brands in almost every way possible. A beautifully landscaped island with pathways, covered by towering palms and banyan trees cleverly shading you as you walk around. Exceptionally friendly colleagues who are there in an invisible manner and at every moment they surprise you.....the Maldivian breakfast is a must. There is great dining options, and an amazing pizza counter, thin, crispy and so tasty, impossible not to go twice..... The facilities are endless, the restaurants are great, try Faiy, its fantastic. The beach villas are great, private and meticulously maintained. This all doesn't happen by chance the GM and his team are constantly around the resort, making their magic happen..... Book, you will not be disappointed. deliberately I haven't over written, the website gives you the details.

We spent an amazing week on that island. Food, service, people, accommodation, activities were 10 out of 10. I can not find a thing that was not ok. There is so much to do: squash, tennis, paddle, beach volleyball, football, basketball, badminton, gym… they have two exceptional spa centers with tons of different treatments. We stayed at the island villa which, upon arrival, left us speechless. Private pool, private beach, two chill areas… Restaurants are so good that I would give them a michelin star. Our butlers, Mode and Haleem, were extremely kind. I have not met so kind people before, they did the impossible, possible. I would highly recommend visiting this gem if you are travelling to Maldives. You will not be disappointed, believe me!

Over priced for what it offers and comparing to onther fiver star hotels in Maldives. Very inflexible about early check in/out, regular food, dirty gym, bad AC at the gym. Delayed flights. My experience in another resorts were the better..

Everything works on this island - the villas, the ways of eating, the sports, the smiles and the willingness. With such high ambitions and standards a visitor here can have a very busy but deeply peaceful time. Hats off to the management, the butlers, groundsmen, housekeepers, cooks, barmen, gym instructors, diving instructors, boat crews, laundrymen, spa therapists, technicians and apologies for the skills I over-looked - you run the island like a ship at sea with such skill. Congratulations to the owner too - Velaa is a triumph.
