About this stay

Stepping onto Anantara Veli feels like entering a tranquil, adults-only paradise where the focus is entirely on relaxation and romance.

Why guests love it

We left the kids with grandparents for our tenth anniversary, and Veli on Boduhuraa was exactly the reset we needed. The overwater bungalow opened straight onto the lagoon, and without anyone under twelve running the corridors, breakfast actually stayed quiet. Thirty-five minutes by speedboat from Velana Airport felt short once we were watching the sunset from our own deck. This one's for couples only, not for families, but if you can get a night off from parenting, it delivers.
