Angsana Resort & Spa Maldives Velavaru

Blissful!! We spent half the time in a beach villa, and half in an in-ocean villa. Both are stunning, however the in-ocean villas are sooo big and we preferred this! The two aren't joined however, but this did not impact our stay at all. There is a ferry every hour between the 2. Some people may have found this off putting but we enjoyed it. Staff could not have done more to accommodate us. Litu was the friendliest and most welcoming team member, a real credit to the resort! Also Ahmed, Daisy, Nishuad, and Sunil were all excellent throughout our stay. Thank you to them and the whole team. Rooms were immaculately clean, with daily refreshed soft drinks. All of the food options were delicious, with a buffet breakfast and themed nights, as well as a bar with pub style food, and the amazing restaurant near the in-ocean villas. Breakfast was very good. We went on the whale shark expedition, and although we did not see any, we did get to swim with dolphins and eagle rays. Ahmed was amazing and made sure we had a great time. It was good to know all about the whale sharks and how the resort cares about their welfare, too. We also had massages (AMAZING) and visited the lovebird sanctuary a number of times. We visited at the start of rainy season but only had a couple of hours rain throughout our stay, could not have asked for better weather.Snorkelling was amazing, we saw rays just off our in-ocean villa and sooo many fish. It was a little quiet on the resort when we visited due to the flying limitations due to the war. It didn't impact our stay, we were able to perfectly relax. The resort meet you at the airport, and on the way home, they escort you through too. to get to the resort you need to get a seaplane, and then a speedboat as the island itself doesn't have a seaplane landing area. Instead you are taken by boat to a kind of floating platform. We really enjoyed the whole thing and would wholeheartedly recommend this resort.

We spent seven nights at Angsana Velavaru in early August and it was everything we hoped a Maldives escape would be. Our Deluxe Land Villa with private pool was spacious, beautifully designed and incredibly private. Waking up each morning to the sound of the ocean and having our own pool just steps from the villa felt pure luxury. The villa was spotless, the bed was baby soft, and the outdoor bathroom and deck made every day feel special. The complimentary seaplane transfers were a highlight in themselves smooth, scenic and perfectly organised. Arriving by seaplane and stepping onto the island felt magical. We stayed on half board and the food was consistently excellent. Breakfast and dinner at the main restaurant offered plenty of variety, fresh seafood and international options. Service throughout the resort was warm, attentive and genuinely friendly without being overbearing. We treated ourselves to spa sessions which was pure bliss, went jet-skiing, snorkelled at a nearby island (lovely fish and clear water), and enjoyed a beautiful sunset cruise. Everything was well organised and reasonably priced for a five-star island. The island itself is lush and peaceful, the beaches are pristine, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed yet polished. Staff remembered our names quickly and nothing was ever too much trouble. If you’re looking for a high-end yet good-value Maldives stay with a proper private-pool villa, excellent service and that classic seaplane arrival experience, Angsana Velavaru delivers. We left completely recharged. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for the service. The staff was very friendly, and our waiter, Buddy, was attentive and courteous! Top service, top island!
