One of the Best
Our stay here was exceptional, the staff and Chef Wasantha (Vela restaurant) catered for all our needs. Our booking was made 2 days prior to flying out, the staff arranged all our airport transfers without any issues. Food, location and accommodation was excellent. the proximity to the airport made the whole journey a pleasure. Will recommend the Velassaru, the staff were very caring and catered to all our needs. Thanks again Velassaru Team. Mohamed, Ibrahim, Aslam, Chef Wasantha and his whole team.

Loved Velassaru, all thumbs up
Amazing staff, very happy to help and usually with a smile. Staff greeted us by name daily, they noted my son's birthday and gave us a cake and decorated the bed with animals. Overall great experience, quiet island, very peaceful. Good variety of food choices. Our whole family was very pleased with the trip. I've stayed at a number of locations in Mexico, Hawaii, Thailand and Velassaru was by far the best.
