Anantara Veli Resort Maldives: Adults Only, Natural Cluster of Three Islands 5-Star Resort

Located in the South Male Atoll, Anantara Veli Maldives Resort can be reached by a luxurious speedboat ride of 35 minutes from Male. The resort underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2013 and is part of the Anantara Hotels group. It strictly prohibits guests below 18 years of age.

Anantara Veli, along with its sister resorts, Dhigu and Naladhu, forms a triangular cluster of islands. All three islands offer stunning lagoon views, with Anantara Veli boasting the best snorkeling environment. Anantara Veli is connected to Naladhu by a picturesque jetty, with the exquisite Baan Huraa restaurant located in the middle. A shuttle boat operates every 10 minutes between Anantara Veli and Dhigu Island, allowing guests to easily explore multiple islands.

The resort primarily features water villas, providing excellent opportunities for snorkeling. It also offers a few semi-sand and water villas, as well as beach villas. Although there are only two restaurants and a bar on the main island, the natural layout of the three islands allows guests to enjoy dining options across all of them.

Anantara Veli is an ideal destination for couples, especially those seeking island-hopping experiences and the allure of water villas. If you have a fondness for water villas and wish to indulge in breathtaking lagoon views, Anantara Veli is undoubtedly the perfect choice.

Important Travel Tips for Visiting Maldives

How do you choose the perfect resort in Maldives?

Cost & Budget: Depending on the price, there are different levels of quality, with the Maldives offering a range from relatively affordable accommodations to ultra-luxurious options. The most basic are a 4-star resorts, and then the categories rise to 5-star, 6-star, and 7-star levels.

Travel Purpose: Consider the purpose of your trip and who you are traveling with—friends, family, or as a couple. Understanding your travel purpose and needs will help you select the most suitable accommodation for your Maldives experience.

Dining Options: The Maldives resorts typically operate on one of four meal plans: BB (bed & breakfast), half board (breakfast and dinner included), full board (breakfast lunch, and dinner included), or a all-inclusive (all meals and beverages included).

Astonishing & Flawless Experience

Everything about the experience was astonishing from the villa, staff, activities, and the island itself!

Super professional and pleasant attitude from all the staff member including the villa attending (Mr. Rifau, who made my trip exceptional with this help and availability at all time to answer and arrange my requests). The room service staff (Mr. Anas & Mr. Sami, were also of great understanding and they would come to clean at the time of my discretion twice a day)

The waiters, receptionists, chefs all really were amazing!

It is a must to go if you would like to enjoy the paradise of earth and have a break time with your partner!

Best vacation’s ever

The best vacation ever. The hotel is fantastic. The dynamics between the 3 islands where the hotel is distributed is very good. Always different places to be and different things to do. The hotel staff is fantastic, always genuinely concerned about our well-being, without being intrusive. Ibrahim was an outstanding villa host.
