What a great place to stay. Probably the nicest resort my wife and I have ever stayed in. Certainly the most expensive, but it was worth it. The food was fantastic, the staff super friendly and the resort spotless. Loved every minute of our time there. Every evening there's music at the Fen bar and its just perfect for relaxing at the end the day after a lovely dinner. We ate in al the restaurants and all were superb. The Sand restaurant was our favourite. However the staff at the Chill bar we extra special. Super friendly and helpful, nothing was too much. We had our 9 month old daughter with us and she was treated like a princess everywhere we went, it was lovely. The full staff crew deserve a special mention, everyone was great, very very helpful and friendly. We stayed in a Deluxe beach villa, it was great. Plenty of space and ten metres from the beach. A/C kept it nice and cool. It was spotless and the clearers kept of clean despite our mess! Lots of places to snorkel, it has a huge reef area. In my visits (daily) I saw, sharks, moray eels, lion fish, puffa fish, turtles, rays and plenty more. Without doubt the best holiday I've ever had. When we save up enough money, we will return!!!! I'm counting the days.…

This hotel resort is by far the best hotel we have stayed in. From beginning to end we enjoyed every moment. The staff are just incredible. I can’t single anyone out as they all deserve praise for their dedication to their role. Everyone is friendly- you are always greeted with a smile. We stayed in a water villa and it was wonderful. We payed for ultra all inclusive and it was well worth the extra. We tried all the restaurants and they are all superb. The beach is dreamy and there is a lovely walk around the small island. I can’t fault this hotel. Would love to go again one day. Thank you to all the staff for making it a memorable anniversary celebration for us.

This place is magical, romantic and exotic, the experience cannot be explained, it has to be seen so you can believe it. Everything about this island is so beautiful, the Beach is powder white sand , crystal clear water, and the nature, o my god so green, there are people taking so much care about all vegetation, and attention to details around. The restaurants are spot on clean and the food is lovely, with plenty of tasty choices. The stuff is so kind, always smiling and always there for you. Scuba Diving was excellent experience, with one of the biggest ship wreck in the area, unfortunately because of the Corona virus outbreak all my future diving bookings where cancelled. We have booked beach villa with stunning views, 10 meters from the water, with local small reef with plenty of fish, lobsters and if you are lucky enough you can see little baby sharks. The villa absolutely clean every day Mohamed Husain took great care for us from the mini bar to cleaning, set bed morning and evening and flowers where waiting for us every day. Because of the virus the island stopped receiving more people and we have left handful of people, the stuff never gave up trying to make us happy and comfortable, the all restaurant’s where still open and trying very hard for us. Our holiday was cut short because of the outbreak so sadly we had to leave one day early. I have never seen my wife so happy on holiday, I have never experienced such a relaxed, and romantic time with my wife in my life, and because of that this magical place, this beautiful island will be my favourite place to return to as soon as possible next year 2021 and experience all over again. Thank you very, very much to all Velassaru team, thank you for make our holiday unforgettable, we are definitely recommending this beautiful place to everyone we know, and we wish you all the best, I really hope you can make it painless during this difficult times, I will see you again.

We have been to the Maldives for the last 4 years now and to be fair price came in to the reckoning when we booked Velassaru. For our first week we took the seaplane to another island then another back to Male to be transferred by boat to the island. We were picked up (just us 2) by a large speed boat, fantastic ! On route the guys stopped as were in the middle of a large pod of dolphins, again fantastic ! The service, food and people were great ( can’t say fantastic again 😉). It’s not fair to single anybody out but we must give a mention to Hazel, she met us and chatted every morning, genuine friendly chat . The beach is by far the best we have ever been on , fish life is poor compared with the other places we have been to but it is near Male. Much has been said about the burner island so we had seen the reviews BUT it is not in the distance, it shocked us at first. After a day or two we forgot about it and got on with it so don’t avoid this island as you will miss a gem just be ready for it. There’s plenty of fish just not the brightly coloured unless you dive or snorkel at the rim of the reef . All in all great place for somewhere near Male.…
