Thumps up!
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.
Be the first to ReplyOUTSTANDING!!!!!
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!
Be the first to ReplyNot worth it
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..
Be the first to ReplyAnother year, another visit and Velaa has won us over yet again
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.

Maldives is a place we have longed for a long time but spending our 10th yr anniversary at Velaa Private Island was more than we dreamt. The hospitality was the amazing, I mean, where else will you have your table wiped at every drop from of water or spill from your food while eating at one of the restaurants (Tavaru). Our butler was truly a call away at "any time". They even had a pillow menu to choose the type of pillow you want when the down pillow they had was already dreamy. They were very thoughtful and had an amazing surprise for us well decorated with flowers, champagne and their well wishes for us. We absolutely loved our experience there and we look forward to our next visit at one of their beach houses with our kids.

Be the first to ReplySpectacular and memorable visit to Velaa private island.
The best hotel or resort experience ever. From the moment we arrived at the international airport and were transferred to the island we felt like royalty. The restaurant experiences were out of this world. The different ambience in different restaurants was spectacular. I am 100% sure they have the best wine collection of any resort. The spa facilities and treatments were memorable. There’s actually no need to leave the villa but we felt almost obliged to because it’s all so great. We will be back soon thank you Velaa, Nazira(butler) and all the team that made our 20th Anniversary memorable. PS The photo shoot was amazing and fun
Be the first to ReplyFantasy Island Does Exist!
The spacious beach front and over water villas are breath taking! Veela delivers a fantasy island like experience through a relentlessly thoughtful staff that pays remarkable attention to detail backed up by accommodations that exceed the expectations.
Be the first to ReplyMy favorite villa is Velaa. It has the best service, restaurant, scenery, underwater world, live piano playing.
Dear Wayne Thank you for the warm welcome and all the service the Velaa team provided. we stayed in Velaa villa 26 from 1st October til 8th October. I returned to Taiwan on the 9th. Today, all the conversation with my wife is all the memories we had in Velaa, which makes us feel unforgettable. We deeply feel the detailed care and consideration from the Velaa team, especially in the service of the restaurant, and the piano performance played by MAXIM, which makes us delighted, and the water spots center as well. The diving guidance of divers makes me see the underwater world I yearn for. Of course, Velaa has too many good advantages, and there is no way to thank you one by one. Of course, the first one we want to appreciate is our butler Ali, who is arranging all of our things from morning to night Moreover, I want to Thank Ali, Rose, RokKA, Pai, and Maxim once again. And there are many people who I can't remember their names but work hard behind. We plan to return to Velaa from 2023 sep.~oct. Hope to See you soon and Thank you very much. Best regards Song & Linda
Be the first to ReplyA team that goes out of its way to deliver an excellent service
I would like to thank Salim from the reservations department and his team for having accommodated a last-minute request to deliver flowers to guests staying in the hotel. There were no more flights from Male that day to bring in flowers and instead of saying there’s nothing that could be done, Salim and his team went the extra mile to source the flowers locally. They made a breathtaking bouquet and seamlessly planned its delivery so that it would be a surprise. Stellar service deserving of respect. Thank you!
Be the first to ReplyTruly one of the great resorts of the world
Velaa was built and is run with such high ambitions. The buildings are subtle and totally wonderful, the staff could not be nicer at every turn (and indeed present at every turn) and then the food is utterly outstanding. We had to remind ourselves this is not a hotel in a major city but on a tiny island. Everything being orchestrated by the delightful Muiz as butler-concierge. He showed us what we could do so gently and thoroughly as well as just made it all fall into place. Spa, restaurants, snorkelling and diving, gym, lunches and dinners in various locations - all slick, restful, quiet, indulgent and personal. All the staff from arrival to departure, from morning to night could not be nicer and more professional. Did I mention the food ? With cuisines from across the globe available at such truly high levels of quality and choices that just suit everyone so brilliantly. Hat's off to one of the world's great resorts. Other guests simply didn't intrude and on the occasion one talked to others there from many parts of the world they were all so relaxed and easy. Proof that you can get what you pay for in this world !
Be the first to ReplyBeautiful Island and service but..
Absolutely stunning island- truly feels like you are in another world. The service is the best I’ve ever experienced- Our butler anticipated our needs and was so friendly- The whole staff was! A few hesitations keeping us from returning came down to/ - Plastic use. Large plastic water bottles are used in your room to replace tap water- this was very disappointing. We saw empty velaa bottles in the sand bank nearby and at times on the island. To have such a wonderful marine biologist and program than use plastic bottle felt very conflicting. - Food quality. We expected the food to be incredible- If we weren’t paying what we were, it would have been okay. But for the price you pay- you’d expect a much higher food quality. Lastly- pricing. While we appreciated all the incredible activities and experiences we had while at Velaa- you did get the feeling of being squeezed for money at the cost of activities which left a bad taste in our mouth at times. Would return if plastic use stopped and if the food quality increased. But beautiful island and amazing staff.

Having spent 12 days at Velaa, we are sure this is the only hotel we would like to return to in the Maldives. It is perfection! The resort is even more beautiful than the pictures online, and the villas, restaurants, amenities and service are all top. We had the pleasure of being looked after by the butler, Muiz, who was a wonderful person. Muiz was warm, funny, kind and went above and beyond to accommodate us during our stay. We really cannot falter any part of this resort. Everyone who works at Velaa is extremely friendly, always saying hello, and during a cocktail we had the opportunity to meet some of the executive team who were all equally extremely kind. Thank you all for such a great stay! We look forward to being back soon.
Be the first to ReplyOur 2nd visit to Velaa - was nice, but a few disappointing points
We first visited Velaa in 2015, and since then had not returned as we preferred another island in the Maldives that we frequent at each year. That said in January 2022 we decided to select Velaa and the other un-named resort for our stay. We spent 5 nights at Velaa in total. POSITIVE POINTS - our butler was very polite, kind, professional - the island is full of activities, probably more geared to families (see my negative point related to that below) - the spa treatments are AMAZING - both my husband and I had the best treatments we have ever had! The spa also has Ayurvedic massages which is very rare to find - would highly recommend! - the island is a natural formed island so is home to a wealth of wildlife, sealife, and the beaches are gorgeous and long - food is very good! a lot of options at breakfast, lunch and dinner. AREAS WE WERE LESS HAPPY WITH - Plastic (use of plastic, and in the ocean) - we were quite disappointed to see the use of plastic water bottles everywhere. Other high-end resorts use glass bottles. Separately, on 3 out of 5 mornings I saw from my beach plastic items in the ocean and went to remove them. Whilst I can appreciate that is not necessarily from the hotel itself, other high-end resorts do have people removing them from the ocean, and for me to see them 3 out of 5 days, is quite high. - Laundry service. We sent items to laundry on Day 2 of arriving, and it wasn't until Day 5 when we still didn't receive our items back, we asked our butler where they were. Other high-end resorts do not wait to be asked to return the items, they just do return them to your room. - Communication: there were a few occasions where we think there was maybe items lost in communication, but could have had serious knock on effects for us, so perhaps best staff don't nod and say yes if they don't understand fully. For example we needed a PCR test to go to our next resort, we were told our doctor would come to us on our final day minus 1 day to take the test at 11:00am. The night before we said we might come at a different time, it was only then we were told the tests have to leave the island at 11:15am -- what if we were running late on the day of testing?! - Events - despite asking the team when we booked our stay, no one told us of events that were taking place at the island during our stay. For example they have two buffet nights with international food stations - we only found this out from walking along the beach one night -- no one told us of these options at all. Same goes for the nightly sting rays - no one told of this, we only knew because of our last stay. We were also not informed of the complimentary cinema night you can have on the beach - this was only told to us by one of the waiters at one of our final nights dinner. - Service - overall was good, but there was one evening when they bought the wrong red wine to our table, and as it was coming from a different restaurant's wine cellar, when it did arrive to us, we were already finished with our mains. In addition they were super slow pouring our drinks in general, and we did feel very rushed at some meals - aka, we hadn't finished our drinks with our starters before the mains were bought out, so it meant at the end of the meal we always had a lot of wine left. - Watersports - the watersports center will take children out on water ski's with the instructor on a jet ski in the LAGOON outside of island villas 51 - 59 and water pool villas 31 to 35. This can be super dangerous for people who are in the lagoon snorkelling or swimming. We did raise this a few times, but they continued. - Expensive - yes it is expensive there as you would expect from a high-end resort. However some pricing is way off. In addition there were a couple occasions which left us feeling with a bit of a bad taste in our mouth (expression). For example, you must have the complimentary breakfast at the restaurant - other very high end resorts offer this in your villa at no cost. Another example, one morning we were 15 minutes late to the 11am deadline breakfast so we ordered 2 x coffees and a pot of hot water with lemon to our villa - we were charged c. USD 40 for this! that seems pretty bad given we didn't even go to breakfast... you'd think if you are spending > USD 5k a night they could comp some things. We did mention to our butler on our 2nd to last day that it would be good to see the hotel manager, we were going to mention the above points to him in-person, but we never saw the hotel manager apart from when we arrived to the hotel.
Be the first to ReplyWonderful 5 Star Experience!
This is definitely a 5 star experience. The staff were absolutely wonderful, especially our butler Muiz. The food is amazing! Our over the water sunrise villa was spectacular and every detail was coordinated to perfection! I cannot say enough positive things about this exclusive resort except…come to Velaa!
Be the first to ReplyNever wanted to leave!
We have stayed several times now at Velaa Private Island, usually around October/November and the weather has always been good with a few cloudy days in a 2 week period. Stunning resort from the welcome to the incredibly stylish villas. The food and service is exceptional and the butlers can't do enough for you. The Spa was out of this world with world class therapists. I've been meaning to write this for a while and apologise to the hotel and also SeyExclusive for always booking our trips and making everything so seamless. Will be booking again as we have missed it so much. Thank you to everyone.
