Velavaru Island, Maldives
Fringed by palm trees on powder-white beaches and a sparkling turquoise lagoon, Velavaru is one of only two resort islands in the Dhaalu Atoll so the natural environment is maintained and the dive sites are strikingly beautiful. The bungalows are nestled in lush vegetation and have a timber deck offering enchanting beach or lagoon views. The rooms are light and airy reflecting rustic Maldavian simplicity in their décor. Guests can dine al fresco with a view of the ocean or enjoy private dining on the beach or a secret island. Velavaru offers a wide variety of water sports, land sports, dive courses and sightseeing excursions from island-hopping and dolphin-watching to snorkelling safaris and night fishing. For guests in need of some pampering, why not enjoy some of the exquisite range of rejuvenating treatments available at The Spa?
