I cannot express how amazing my vacation was! I am especially grateful for Mr. Hussain Laamey Shameem's graciousness and attentiveness, as he truly made our stay exceptional. Even having visited Maldives twice before, I have to say that this hotel surpassed my expectations. I would enthusiastically choose it again and again in the future. The two bedroom overwater villa was nothing short of stunning!

If an island paradise of chic simplicity in a charming adults-only tropical setting is what you need, the white sand and azure waters of Anantara Veli Resort will provide the perfect setting. Relax with your loved one in the over water bungalows, as a spectacular plethora of sea life swims in the crystal clear lagoon beneath you. The resort is a short 35-minute speedboat journey from Velana International Airport which operates all day.

From the moment we got off the boat transfer we were made to feel special, our host Jenny looked after us straight away. Jenny took us for a guided tour of the island, explained to us about the restaurants and any special events happening that week, if we needed to book any other restaurants we just had to text her, and she sorted it out. We were staying in a deluxe over water villa, the room was fantastic, very well equipped, and well laid out. The villa has direct access to the sea as well as very comfortable sun beds and a day bed. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi in the rooms is very poor to the point of non-existent, I would expect better in a hotel of this standard. The quality and variety of food in the restaurants was amazing, we especially liked Baan Huraa and Cumin. There was an excellent variety of food available for breakfast, we loved the fresh fruit and pastry we were given while we waited to choose our breakfast. We booked the beach BBQ for one night, although this isn’t covered by the food package it was well worth the money. The food was amazing, the location, atmosphere and music made it one of our best nights of the holiday. We also loved Dhoni bar, we had lunch there most days, we were always served by Faz, who deserves a special mention. She always greeted us with a smile, a cold drink and cold towel. The bar man Champika also deserves a special mention, he would always have drink on the bar for us. If there wasn’t a cocktail on the menu my wife liked Champika would look it up and make it for her. We took out the drinks package for the 7 days we were there, I would strongly recommend taking this option for peace of mind. The beach was really well kept, the sunbeds were well spaced apart, each sunbed had a button for you to order drinks on the beach. The whole holiday experience was magical, and we will certainly be returning as soon as we can.

    Staff were friendly, especially Agra in the restaurant. Nice beach area with shade umbrellas over some of the chairs. Great house reef to snorkel on, free snorkeling equipment provided by the dive shop worked well. Food was good and varied. Loved the overwater bungalow. The boat transfer from the airport worked well. Nice selection of alcoholic beverages as part of the all inclusive plan.

    Amazing resort and super friendly stuff (Receptionists, Butler and house keepers). Starting from the transfer, everything went smooth. The resort representatives were waiting for us in the airport and they have organised directly the transfer. Regarding the facilities, we had an amazing view from our Overwater Sunset Villa. The food was amazing even though we had "All inclusive" package, we had the opportunity to choose from "A la Carte menu". highly recommend !!!
