Our take
This resort is an excellent choice for families and couples seeking a luxurious escape with plenty of activities. The combination of beachfront and overwater villas provides flexibility, and the extensive range of water sports, diving, and spa treatments ensures there's something for everyone. While it offers a private island experience, the variety of facilities and activities makes it more dynamic than some ultra-secluded options. Travelers looking for a very quiet, minimalist retreat might prefer a different style of resort.
- ✓Take advantage of the complimentary yoga classes for a serene start to your day.
- ✓Book a sunset cruise to experience the remarkable Maldivian skies over the ocean.
- ✓Explore the house reef with snorkeling gear to discover the vibrant marine life just steps from your villa.

Why guests love itVelassaru kept everyone in the family busy on their own terms: I did the sunrise yoga class most mornings, my husband played tennis with our fifteen-year-old, and the little one refused to leave the infinity pool overlooking the beach. Villas here come in both overwater and beachfront versions, and we ended up glad we'd picked beachfront since it put the kids two minutes from the water sports desk. The overwater spa pavilions were where I disappeared to once the sun got too strong for the pool.
