The Maldives has long been a luxury destination for discerning travellers, but for those looking for exclusive luxury, the Velaa Private Island resort is the place to go.

Velaa Private Island is one of very few truly private islands and is owned exclusively by one person, which is what makes its charm so unique, personal and alluring. Set amidst the sprawling archipelagos in the Indian Ocean, Velaa Private Island offers guests luxury accommodation, privacy and a wealth of facilities, so you can do as little or as much as you please.

The island is home to a variety of accommodation options for its temporary residents, which include a choice of beach or poolside villas and residences which all perfectly encapsulate the beauty and nature of the surroundings, whilst offering exceptional modern conveniences and luxuries.

Of particular note is the Deluxe Beachside Villas, which all feature stunning views out onto the turquoise Indian Ocean, a private pool, separate lounge area, outdoor terrace and a sumptuous Zen-like outdoor bathroom for soaking away the toils of a day on the beach.

For complete serenity and a close proximity to water, the Sunset Deluxe Waterside Villa delivers uninterrupted views of the ocean, teamed with private infinity pools that simply melt into the ocean’s horizon. No expense is spared, with exceptional facilities including your own bar area with wine fridge, a viewing window set into the floor and private gazebo with cushions for relaxing and watching the sunset.

Guests can also take full advantage of the myriad of facilities, which include fine dining at one of five exclusive restaurants including the Aragu, which literally floats above the ocean and serves up culinary delights that will tantalize your senses.

If relaxation is high on your agenda, you will be well cared for with the Velaa Private Island Spa, where you can even create a unique programme for deep relaxation and spiritual well-being during your stay. For those looking for a little more exertion, there is the Velaa Golf Academy, where you can hone your swing and putting skills, or why not explore the nature around you with diving trips, cruises or choose from a number of water sports.

Velaa Private Island, is exactly that – private, intimate and personal, so travel buyers can create a magical and unique travel experience of a lifetime.
