Resort Intro

Velaa Private Island Maldives is located 187 kilometers north of Male in the Nooru Atoll, spanning approximately 20 hectares with a length of about 530 meters and a width of roughly 450 meters. As a privately owned island, it was designed by Czech architect Petr Kolar, blending modern architectural aesthetics with authentic Maldivian regional characteristics, emphasizing privacy and harmony with the natural environment. The island’s name derives from the sea turtles that inhabit the area, and its spatial layout visually resembles a turtle: the overwater villas form the head, while the main island constitutes the body.

The resort villas are constructed using locally sourced materials, featuring modern interior designs with high-quality finishes, including black gold wood furniture, peach blossom wood beams, imported Jordanian marble, and carefully selected global flora. Amenities include private pools and dedicated living spaces, reflecting premium accommodation standards.

The island features Tavaru Tower Restaurant, an overwater dining venue offering culinary services. In addition to typical island activities, guests can enjoy non-traditional leisure options such as rock climbing and golf. A round-the-clock personal concierge service ensures attentive guest support.

Island Advantages: ① 24-hour butler service ② Equipped with rock climbing facilities and a golf course ③ Home to an overwater restaurant with high-end dining capabilities
