Celebrating 7 Years of Pure Seclusion at this Peaceful, Tropical Paradise

Monday 21st of December 2020

It’s been 7 years that the Velaa Private Island has been beautifully laid on the pristine waters of Noonu Atoll, born as a quest to create the ultimate island escape in the Maldives. A place of pure seclusion, a tropical paradise in harmony with the environment and the tranquil Maldivian way of life, Velaa has become one of the top resorts in the destination over the years and has captured the hearts of many who seek freedom and peace.

The story starts with Jiri Smejc and his wife Radka, who fell in love with the Maldives. According to Forbes, Smejc dreamt of owning his own private island more than 10 years ago and along with Petr Kolár, the Czech architect who designed Velaa, they made this dream a reality. They wanted this island to be the most exclusive and luxurious of them all.

“For the last few years, it has been a joy and privilege to make Velaa our special home. We invite you to come and share the dream with us,” says Radka & Jiří Šmejc. Velaa has gained immense success over the years to become the winner of Indian Ocean's Leading Private Island and Luxury Island Resort of 2020 at the World Travel Awards.

With the birthday celebration commences the festival season at this paradise and you definitely don’t want to miss out on it.
