My partner and I spent our honeymoon here for 10 days at the beginning of feb. Lovely resort, water villa was great, big bath ..although the hot water was not always hot enough to fill it. The resort is lacking in my opinion due to its main buffer restaurant Vella.The food and atmosphere is just not 5 star. And the... More

Velassaru made an excellent first impression on us, and this standard was maintained throughout our holiday. The speedboat transfer was friendly and efficient, and was followed by a personal greeting and tour from a dedicated attendant. Rooms are luxurious, spacious and well-kept. The decor and features (eg outdoor garden shower) make you feel you are in a truly tropical environment.... More

I liked the hotel overall:I liked the big water villas much more than the water Bungalows. The food was however very uneven one day you could eat fantastic food and the other one not so good... The design was very nice ! The Teppanyaki restaurant was great !!! They have some more work to to to be great but overall... More

After looking on tripadvisor for more than 6 months we finally booked our holiday at velassaru and I must say, it was worth every $$$. It was our first visit to the Maldives and we didn't know what to expect. The island is so beautiful and clean. Crystal clear warm water and sandy beaches. Every dag 31degrees. Yes you can... More

The photos of the resort and our travel agents description of her personal experience got us really excited about Velassaru and so the holiday was booked. On our way from the airport to the resort, about 30 min boat ride, we were treated to a "Discovery Channel experience" when hundreds of dolphins surrounded our boat. I think I stepped out... More

My wife and I recently spent 7 days at this amazing resort. We were picked up promptly upon entering the arrival hall from a representative of the resort who escorted us no more than 300 feet to a boat docked next to the airport. Twenty five minutes later we arrived to Velassaru with a very warm greeting from several of... More

Velassaru is one of the pricier resorts but my wife did a lot of research on this and we felt that it was better to stay in a pricier place rather than pay the exorbitant sea plane travel and then stay in a lower cost place. We stayed in the sunset water villa in DECEMBER 2011 to celebrate our first... More

Stayed here in December 2011 with my partner. Velassaru was certainly the highlight of our trip and I couldn't recommend it any higher! Right from our pick up and speed boat ride from the airport all the way to our cheerful farewell, our stay was incredible. The island itself is a haven of exquisite beauty and restorative calm. Crystal clear... More

We spent 8 days on Velassaru at the end of September 2011. We had spent out honeymoon on the island in 2006 when it was called Laguna. We had an amazing time and thought the island was pretty special back then. The island has since received a huge make over, and is incomparable now. Here are a few pointers that... More
