Our first visit to Velassaru was magical so we were gutted when our second visit had to be cancelled due to the pandemic lockdown. We finally managed to book and we're so glad we did because they have managed to keep that level of quality up there. Velassaru is a luxury resort which means its priced as such but your so spoiled with gorgeous beaches, excellent service and a range of different restaurant options to cater for most tastes. And of you don't find what you like, the chefs have no problem going off menu to accommodate your requirements. We're still in love with this place and will be going back. Highly recommended.

Velassaru Maldives did not disappoint. Beautiful waters and tranquil sea made swimming enjoyable. Property is kept in pristine condition. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Farahun from housekeeping was amazing. I looked forward to returning to the room after he was done organizing it. If you’re looking for a luxurious and relaxing experience, I definitely recommend this place.
