Picture this – a barefoot stroll along soft white sands, the gentle hum of an ice cream cart drifting closer with complimentary scoops to cool you down. Later, the sun sets and the beach transforms into an open-air cinema, complete with popcorn and that golden Maldivian glow. From the moment you land, paradise is practically on your doorstep – just a breezy 25-minute speedboat ride whisks you from the airport to Velassaru, leaving more time for sunbathing, swimming and sipping cocktails. As your expert travel artist, Louise at Hays Travel takes care of every detail, backed by over 30 years of ABTA and ATOL-protected expertise.

Discover Velassaru Maldives Holiday
Velassaru Maldives is the epitome of barefoot luxury, nestled in the South Male Atoll just 30 minutes from Velana International Airport. This coral-ringed island balances chic modern design with the timeless beauty of the Indian Ocean. Pristine beaches slope gently into crystal waters, home to colourful reef fish, turtles and manta rays. Lush tropical greenery provides shade for sun loungers, daybeds and poolside pavilions. From sunrise yoga on the sand to moonlit dinners by the sea, every moment feels curated by nature itself. Here, you can explore hidden lagoons, snorkel pristine reefs or simply relax with a cocktail as the turquoise horizon stretches endlessly.
Your Private Beach Pool Villa Experience
Imagine having your very own private slice of Maldives shoreline. Each Beach Pool Villa features a spacious indoor living area that flows seamlessly onto an outdoor terrace with direct beach access. The private infinity pool sparkles as it merges with the ocean’s edge. Inside, a sumptuous bed, sunken tub and rain-shower offer ultimate comfort. Thoughtful touches like a stocked minibar, Bose sound system and nightly turndown service elevate every moment. Spend mornings floating in your pool, afternoons reading under a shaded pergola and evenings dining al fresco with the sound of waves as your backdrop.
World-Class Dining & Indulgence Packages
Your half board package includes a daily international buffet breakfast and dinner at Vela, where live cooking stations and themed nights take you from Asian street food to Mediterranean tapas. Want to upgrade? The Indulgence All Inclusive package unlocks dine-around privileges at up to nine venues, from seafood grills to Japanese robatayaki, plus a premium drinks selection featuring Champagne, aged rum, artisanal cocktails and freshly pressed juices. Seasonal Maldivian delicacies and sustainable fisheries ensure each course is as responsible as it is sumptuous.
Over 40 Excursions & Water Sports
Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or a leisure seeker, Velassaru Maldives caters to every whim. Glide across turquoise lagoons on a jet ski, kite-surf over crystalline shallows or dive deeper on certified PADI courses. Dolphin cruises, sunset fishing and sand-bank picnics let you explore the atoll’s hidden gems. For a once-in-a-lifetime treat, board a glass-bottom boat to witness vibrant coral gardens or swim alongside majestic manta rays in their natural habitat. Each excursion is planned with local marine biologists to protect the delicate ecosystem.
Spa & Wellness by Mandara
Nestled above water, the Mandara Spa pavilion is designed to soothe body and mind. Choose from Balinese massages, Ayurvedic rituals and customized facials using organic Maldivian extracts. The wellness menu extends to yoga and Pilates classes, meditation sessions at sunrise and nutritional consultations. Each treatment room offers panoramic ocean views, while the outdoor relaxation deck invites you to linger on Balinese daybeds. Post-treatment, sip ginger tea or coconut water as gentle waves lap below.
Family Fun & Kids Club
Velassaru Maldives welcomes families with a dedicated Kids Club for ages 3–12, offering arts and crafts, treasure hunts, cooking classes and supervised beach games. Teenagers can hang out at the Chill Lounge, with gaming consoles, foosball and movie nights under the stars. Family-friendly pool zones and shallow lagoons make supervision easy, while babysitting services allow parents to enjoy date nights at sunset without worry. Special interconnecting villas ensure everyone has space to unwind.
Romance & Weddings
Nothing says romance like a private candlelit dinner on a secluded sandbank or a vow renewal under a floral arch on the beach. Velassaru offers tailor-made wedding and honeymoon packages including floral arrangements, photography, live music and gourmet receptions. The dedicated Romance Concierge guides you through every detail, from personalized menus to sunset cruises for two. Toast your love with Champagne on the deck of a traditional dhoni as the sun dips below the horizon.
Eco-Conscious Island Living
Sustainability is at the heart of Velassaru Maldives. Solar arrays power much of the island, and energy-efficient lighting reduces consumption. A stringent coral restoration programme helps rebuild damaged reefs, while a marine turtle rescue centre cares for injured hatchlings. Waste is meticulously sorted and recycled, and single-use plastics have been all but eliminated. Organic produce from local hydroponic farms enriches the resort’s dining menus, ensuring that every bite supports the community and the environment.
Travel Logistics & Seamless Transfers
Your journey begins at Heathrow, Stansted, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Edinburgh or Dublin. Once you arrive at Velana International Airport, a speedboat transfer of just 25 minutes brings you directly to Velassaru’s private jetty. All transfers are included in your package, and a personal concierge monitors flight schedules, adjusting pickup times if needed. Pre-departure assistance from Louise ensures that check-in, luggage allowances and seat preferences are managed perfectly.
