We stayed at Velassaru May 14th to 23rd in bungalow 152 for a getaway break. This is our first trip to the Maldives and we definitely picked the best place to start visiting. Where can I start, the accommodation is 1st class (although a constructive request would be for ice in the rooms somehow), right down to the Jacuzzi in... More

This is a truly wonderfull resort for a short break for two. The setting is superb on one of the many atols of the Maldives. Transfer from Mahle is a short 25 minute speedboat trip. The beach bungalows are we think a much better option than the Water Villas as they are quite "souless". The beach bungalow's are set amongst... More

Booked for 4 days stay in this resort after recommendation from a friend who did extensive research on accomodation in Maldives. Decided on a deluxe bungalow, booked thru Agoda. May & June is typically low season therefore room rates arent that expensive. Airport transfer is seamless, hotel sent a big boat to pick us up from the airport with 5... More

Myself and my new husband stayed here for our honeymoon for 10 nights in May. I can honestly say it was the holiday of a lifetime. The staff, rooms, food and attention to detail were all faultless. When we booked we were told it was coming into the rainy season so were prepared for a bit of bad weather but... More

We stayed in a beach villa on half board & loved every... More

What an amazing island! Complete paradise and an ideal honeymoon destination. The staff on the island are so friendly and helpful. They do a fantastic job and the island is very well maintained. The food was delicious - we mostly ate in the Vela restaurant as we were Half Board. There was a great variety of food available and it... More

We went to Maldives for the first time over a long weekend and chose this hotel after checking TripAdvisor and the hotel website, and were very happy to find this place is just WONDERFUL. Our deluxe bungalow was spacious, clean, modern, great amenities, private plunge pool and just a few metres from the beach front. The island itself is pristine,... More

This hotel belongs to the Small Luxury Hotel chain and what you get shows it. The island has picture perfect beaches, good restaurants and friendly staff. We stayed in a garden villa and found it served its purpose very well as we just lay on the beach everyday. The island is only a twenty minute boat ride from male making... More
