The place comes with a huge price tag, and it applies to the food and activities as well. But that said, most resorts in Maldives are charging the same or more. Service is top notch. We took half board package so we could try different restaurants in the resort every night. We had Japanese food the first night and Sands... More

I visited Velassaru for my honeymoon and it was simply magical. From the moment we stepped foot onto the island to leaving everything was more than what we expected. Room and service: Room was modern and clean. Room service was spot on and was cleaned at times to suit you. Special mention to Wasim. Food: Food was great and had... More

Finally had the chance to get to my dream spot and booked through a travel agent who found us space (somewhat last minute) at Velassaru. After a long flight(s), it was nice to be met by their staff at the airport and whisked by a comfortable boat to the nearby island. We booked a water villa and it was pure... More

First - money. If you are not willing to spend money, DO NOT go to the Maldives. You are paying for paradise and luxury... More

When you decide to go to Maldives, especially for the first time, you need to consider many aspects but one thing is for sure, prepare to shock your credit card. No matter what you do you can't go cheap. This is the reality but out of 125 island resorts they have you need to choose the one that perfectly fits... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Champagne flute anchored in the sand, stem kissed by the tide. Mid-ocean niches of intimacy enshrouded in tropical greenery. Freedom of youth explored, temptations given in to. Off-shore ocean sunset aboard a traditional sailboat. Spa above the water, by the ocean's edge. Moonlit vows, eye to eye with your best intentions laid bare. Maldives water bungalows, villas and suites perched atop the lagoon or nest on the sands. Open-plan, minimalist design frees up the flow of space, revealing uninterrupted seascapes of the Indian Ocean from your bedroom. On your villa's terrace, lose yourself in prolonged romance for the entire night. ... more   less
