This was quite simply the most amazing holiday ever. Ok, fair enough I have not experienced any other resort in the Maldives, so I have nothing to compare it to. However, I am an experienced traveller and have visited many destinations and hotels accross the globe, and I am not easily impressed. Anantara Veli surpassed my every expectation. From the... more

Hotel: This is a Hotel where "everything is possible" and "nothing is too much". The staff remembers your names/room numbers although they have never seen you before. They are going out of their way to please you and make your stay an unforgettable one. As there are a lot of Asian it is a very calm place and never loud.... more

We stayed at Anantara Veli as part of our honeymoon on middle of March 2009 (we also went to Banyan Tree). The Anantara Transfer boats were extremely luxorious (much nicer than the Banyan Tree ones) thus the transfer was amazing to the island.

I've read the bad reviews for Veli and talked to most of those reviewers via private message and can conclude... more

Well folks...this is how the journey begun.... Why do we choose the hotel and the trip? Anantara offers the most competitive package price amongst all the other 5 star resorts in the island. It recites in South Male Atoll which serves the purpose for some of the best dive sites in the Maldives. Anantara is also a very well known... more

After a beautiful stay at three other 4-5 star hotels in Maldives, where we received impeccable above and beyond services, prior to our arrival at Anantara Veli, we were severely disappointed by this hotel. It really does not live up to its 5 star rating. First, this was the first Maldivian hotel where we found the beach strewn with garbage... more
