Velassaru Maldives is a chic island paradise in South Male Atoll, just a short speedboat ride from Male. The natural beauty that surrounds the island is reflected in the resort’s design, with vibrant shades of blue mirroring the crystal clear turquoise lagoon. Guests can look forward to stylish accommodation, gourmet dining options and a range of relaxing and rejuvenating island experiences.
Villas at Velassaru offer contemporary accommodation in either a stunning overwater setting or in a secluded spot on the beach. Whether you prefer to wake up to endless turquoise vistas from your water villa, or would rather be just steps from the white sand in your beach villa, Velassaru has a range of accommodation options. Many villas also have the added luxury of a private pool, and there are two bedroom villas available for families.
Dining at Velassaru is a truly indulgent experience. With options ranging from Japanese cuisine to Pan Indian specialities and settings ranging from over-water to beachfront, you really are spoiled for choice. Velassaru’s all inclusive Indulgence package is superb as it allows you to dine in any of the resort’s restaurants, and we would highly recommend trying them all during your stay!
A holiday to the Maldives is all about relaxation and immersing yourself in an island paradise. Enjoy a rejuvenating treatment at Velassaru’s over-water spa whilst listening to the calming sounds of the Indian Ocean, and why not start your day with some yoga on the beach? For those keen to explore the turquoise waters that surround the island, there is a range of motorised and non-motorised watersports, and guests can take part in guided snorkelling tours of nearby reefs.
The food at Velassaru is incredible. I loved the range of dishes available at the main restaurant - they even had sushi for breakfast, which made my day. The all inclusive plan is brilliant as it allows you to dine in all the restaurants. I particularly enjoyed Sand Restaurant, which serves authentic dishes in a beautiful beachfront setting.
