Velaa Private Island in the Noonu Atoll of Maldives has been awarded the ‘Best Indian Ocean Hideaway’ by Connoisseur Circle. This is one of the many prestigious titles received by the luxury resort in Indian Ocean.
The Connoisseur Circle Hospitality Awards honor the world’s finest hosts: very special hotels in the luxury class that have distinguished themselves with outstanding service to their guests. Since 2006, over 1,000 luxury hotels all over the world have been put to the test at Connoisseur Circle: the hotels are assessed independently and objectively by top journalists.
Velaa (turtle in Dhivehi) shares its name and its home with the generations of sea turtles that have inhabited the island for countless years. While the colors and patterns of a turtle shell make up subtle nuances in the design, from a broader aerial view, Velaa’s exclusive over-water villas resemble the head of a turtle with the island forming the body.
So what makes this unique destination the Best Indian Ocean Hideaway? A 14 km long picture-perfect beach surrounds this island, which has a small village and no other hotel. Absolute calm is guaranteed. If you want, cycle through the coconut groves, visit the turtle protection center or let yourself be pampered in the Organic Spa.
Velaa Private Island has an exclusive collection of Beach Villas and Water Villas, with a stunning choice of 8 options: the Beach Pool Villa, Deluxe Beach Pool Villa, Beach Pool House, Velaa Private Residence, Sunrise Water Pool Villa, Sunset Deluxe Water Pool Villa, Ocean Pool House and Romantic Pool Residence.
