My partner and I visited this lovely island for a New Year’s 10 day break and what a way to end 2021 and start 2022. Stunning over water villa fabulous food and a huge staff that couldn’t be more polite professional and helpful. Brett, General Manager leads a charming group of people across all areas Midhu and Ahmed in housekeeping were so helpful, the servers in the Turquoise Restaurant, too many to name, were friendly professional and courteous and reception was a joy to deal with on every occasion. Marje gets a special mention for her attentive service and the help she gave to my girlfriend during our stay. I cannot recommend this island enough. Beautiful beaches crystal clear waters and a fabulous resort. We will be back

Beautiful small island that is just breathtaking. We stayed at the island for 5 nights. Incredible service all over !! The only negative feedback would be: - Need to book tables in advance (busy) - Snorkelling area around is not “fantastic” Other than that …worth the money !!

Fourth year returning to Velassaru - which we now consider home. Not only is the resort exceptional, the staff and service is truly what makes the stay special. The water villas are beautiful, everything is 5 star quality if not more. Waking up and going to sleep with the sound of the waves of the Indian Ocean and the beautiful sunrises and sunsets with a clear view from your bed is an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere surrounding the resort is relaxing, carefree, and makes you forget the chaos we find ourselves in during these troubling times. The resort offers water sports, a gym to stay in shape after eating the wonderful food from all the restaurants, tennis court if your are in to tennis, scuba diving, fishing, plus other water adventures. The atoll is has a beautiful beach with pure white sand and crystal clear water. We would like to say thank you to the Executive Chef, all the Chefs and Sous Chefs for the delicious food - especially for the Xmas Eve and New Years Eve dinner parties. Chapeaux to all of you. A huge thank you to the Velassaru staff: from the maintenance to all of the waiters, bartenders, cleaning crew and management. If we forgot someone, we apologize, you all make our stay unforgettable. Dear Midhuath, you have made each year more special for my daughter and I. We cannot express our gratitude for your kindness. Throughout the years you have become apart of our family and keeping in touch with you makes the nostalgia more bearable. Your hard work does not go unnoticed and you always have a smile on your face- qualities that are indispensable for working in the hospitality industry. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Dear Shydah, you have also made our stay unforgettable and no words are enough to thank you for your kindness, professionalism, and for giving us the opportunity to call you a dear friend. You are also an extremely hard worker and an great supervisor. Thank you again for everything. A special thank you to SK, Ali Rasheed, Raffaf, Imaadh, Azumee, Faizaan, Faalih- you all are amazing and of course we will and have not forgotten you, thank you all for your service and for making us feel at home. To GM Brett, It was a pleasure meeting you and for always having a moment to exchange words not only with us, but with all of the guests at the resort. Your professionalism is remarkable. Marjorie, Thank you again for welcoming us back to our “ home” - our words above are apart of your doing for having helped create such an amazing atmosphere and staff at Velassaru. Ciao! We’ll see you all next Xmas. Anastasia & Raffaella…

Velassaru was a much welcome reprieve from the pandemic. The Maldives has really got the protocol down - we felt 100% safe at all times, and EVERYTHING at Velassaru is outdoors. First and foremost, the people were absolutely incredible. The dedication to service and creating the perfect holiday for each individual was above and beyond. I would recommend staying in the overwater rooms (we stayed in the Water Bungalow with pool). The rooms on land are very tucked into the vegetation and many don't have views. The snorkeling was SPECTACULAR. You need to wait for high tide, but it's worth the wait - hawksbill turtles, white tip / blacktip reef sharks, rays, octopus, mooray eels, more butterflyfish than you can identify. They also managed our return Covid test seamlessly. As US citizens, we needed to have a negative PCR test in hand within one day of departure from the Maldives; we were tested the day before our departure (at the resort), and had results in hand the very next morning. Absolutely indescribable gala dinners for Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve...we were blown away. …
