Just got back from Anantara Veli and throughly enjoyed our stay. We only stayed 2 nights as on short trip but would have loved to have stayed longer. Everything ran smooth from beginning when they met us at airport and transferred us by speedboat to the island, this takes about 30 minutes. Check in was quick and easy. Our water... More

We stayed at Veli from August 25th -August 30th. There is nothing more to say about the resort, the beach, the staff and the food other than EXCELLENT ! We stayed in the water villas which is the only accommodation available on Veli island I believe. The best restaurants were Gecko and Ban Hura. We only had breakfast included and... More

We just returned from our 11-day April 2012 honeymoon in the Maldives. We usually get bored quiet easily and like experiencing lots of different things, so decided to visit 3 very different islands in 11 days. For those of you reading this looking to go there also for the first time like us, we can tell you that we have... More

My husband and I finished our honeymoon with 4 days in an overwater bungalow at the Anantara Veli Resort and Spa. It was certainly an experience we will never forget! The arrival at the airport, the boat taxi to the island, and the escorted walk to the bungalow were just the first few signs that this part of our vacation... More

I guess it's all been said before, so I'll reiterate the key aspects of our wonderful stay after just returning from Anantara Veli. We had 4 nights in an overwater bungalow. The arrival process was very smooth and transfer to the island. The staff were aware my wife was pregnant and had made arrangements for us to sit in more... More

We stayed in Anantara Veli in July last year but being lazy bums only managed to write a review now. 1. Resort environment - Absolutely stunning! The Maldives is just a place I know we'll always remember and hope to come back for our wedding anniversary someday. The resort is always quiet and peaceful. There are not many rooms so... More

This is the stuff that dreams are made on. Sundowners as a scarlet disc sinks beneath mountains of purple clouds into a silvery sea. Glance over the railing of your deck built above the aquamarine lagoon and watch the fishes dance, the rays glide by, the baby sharks wriggle across the corals and the sandy floor. The evening breeze brings... More

We had our honeymoon here on a beautiful deluxe over the water bungalow and had a great time. Food was expensive clearly being in a resort as such, but we would not recommend taking a full board because you'd be stuck eating at the same restaurants. There were quite a few choices of restaurants here and they were quite delicious.... More

We spent 5 days in Anatara Veli in November 2009 and it is by far the best place I've ever been. There is no place like Maldives. The amazing green ocean, perfectly white sand beaches and a peaceful silence that remindes you that Heaven exists. We had a full board meal that allowed us to eat in any restaurant of... More
