Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of the northern Noonu Atoll in the Maldives, Velaa Private Island meets the highest standards of comfort, exclusivity, and privacy, creating an incomparable and extravagant island experience. The majestic private island boasts 47 luxurious villas with private pools that can accommodate up to ten guests. There are also three restaurants, excellent high-tech water sports equipment, a first-class spa with a snow room, and a golf course designed by golf legend José Maria Olazábal.
Each villa has its own butler who is always on hand to fulfill your every wish. On land, there is a climbing wall and covered squash, padel tennis, and tennis courts, as well as the Velaa Golf Academy by Olazábal, which spans seven holes and also offers professional one-to-one lessons. The gym is equipped with the latest equipment, and the spa also impresses with a wide range of services. High-tech water sports are a particular highlight, ranging from flyboarding and hoverboarding to electric foil surfboards and the so-called tandem jetovator.
Of the 47 villas on the island, 18 are built over the water, but all of them have private pools. The open-air bathrooms are equipped with high-quality Clarins toiletries and feature reclining chairs, rain showers, and deep stone bathtubs. The two-story Nika Residence has been lovingly redesigned by renowned interior designer Patricia Urquiola and represents a new dimension of modern luxury. If you prefer complete seclusion, choose the Romantic Residence—accessible only by boat.
The resort has three restaurants serving a mix of international and Maldivian cuisine. The main restaurant, Aragu, is located above the water and serves contemporary European cuisine with an Asian touch. At the Athiri beach restaurant, you can enjoy a rich breakfast buffet as well as homemade pizzas from the wood-fired oven, while Tavaru offers exclusive Japanese tasting menus combined with the most exclusive wine collection in the Indian Ocean.
The heavenly Velaa Private Island welcomes you as a unique and exclusive resort in the pristine Noonu Atoll of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. Surrounded by picturesque nature and crystal-clear waters, breathtaking villas and state-of-the-art residences with private pools and some with their own beach sections await you here. The resort was born out of a love for the Maldives and is the passionate project of husband and wife Radka and Jiří Šmejc, whose goal was to create one of the most luxurious private island resorts in the world – which they have mastered with flying colors.
