We spent seven nights at the Veli and thought it was brilliant! Service and food was impeccable; we particularly enjoyed all the seafood (try the platter at Fuddan and the set menu at Baan Huraa). Snorkelling was great and the coral reef was only ten metres from our villa! There was a picnic island that we kayaked over to which... More

My husband and I spent 5 nights at Anantara Veli in Maldives. It was a perfect holiday!! One of the benefits of staying at this resort is that it doesn’t require further air transportation to get there. After 20 hours flying from the US, it was great to be met at the airport and whisked away to the resort. The... More

We stayed at anantara Veli for our honeymoon and just loved it. Great dining options, wide variety of food and over the water bungalows were idyllic. Service was also sensational and loved snorkelljng/perusing the fish from the jetties. Definitely recommend. Ps the hammock about 50 metres out in the water is where it's at.

Me and my husband spent about 7 days here for our honeymoon, and it was the best vacation we have ever had so far. We watched the sunset and stars every night from our deck and snorkelled 1-2 times a day. It was incredible how many different types of fish were just beneath our water bungalow! We even saw 4...

The new ocean villas are fantastic -- large, modern, beautifully designed, and quiet, with a private infinity plunge pool and sundeck, and lots of thoughtful touches. The bathroom is stunning and very large, with an indoor marble shower with floor to ceiling windows looking out on the ocean and also an outdoor marble shower in a small private garden. The... More

We spent a week here and it was the ideal beach holiday. The setting is stunning, and our deluxe over water bungalow was great; amazing views to wake up to. The house reefs directly off the island are great for snorkelling. Service couldn't be faulted, transfers from the airport were very efficient and staff in the resort were super-friendly. I... More

We spent 5 nights in the Maldives, and can say it was an amazingly relaxing and luxurious experience, the perfect end to our Sri Lanka trip. We landed in Male and were met by an Anantara employee straight away which was nice, who led us to the speedboat. The ride was smooth, and we were greeted at the resort by... More

My daughter and I just returned from a trip to Veli. To describe it simply its fantastic. This place is gifted with great nature amazing staff and set up. The fun didn't stop since we arrive till the last minute. It's definitely the place to stay whenever you visit the maldives....well done Anantara:)

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Veli in the deluxe overwater bungalows. The bungalows at the end of the jetty have the nicest views but the ones at the other end are closer to the hotel's reef. We snorkelled every day in the turquoise water around the bungalows and saw new fish each time. Wonderful. We also took a couple... More
