ANGSANA VELAVARU

Imagine an island thousands of miles away ………

Imagine an island thousands of miles away with swaying palm trees, pristine beaches and a turquoise lagoon teeming with the world’s most vibrant marine life. And imagine spending days of utter indulgence with your loved one here.  This little property in the unspoilt South Nilandhe Atoll is a dream retreat for those hoping to discover the underwater world, or simply relax.  Small in scale, exclusive in style, Velavaru, meaning ‘Turtle Island’ offers a romantic retreat in a serene and idyllic island setting.  Sate your appetite with a veritable medley of Asian and Mediterranean flavours, glorious fresh seafood with a touch of Maldivian flavour, or perhaps a private barbecue.  The Angsana Spa will refresh and revitalise while a host of activities is sure to suit all tastes including cookery classes, diving and guided excursions.  A diving excursion at Velavaru is an adventure of a lifetime as the sites remain largely unexplored.  Perfect for those seeking some serious R&R!

Let romance take over as the skies light up with the sparkle of a million stars!

While the Maldives occupies its own little niche in the world, the cuisine found here is of a decidedly more international variety.  Sate your appetite with a veritable medley of Asian and Mediterranean flavours.

Dining at Funa is a complete sensory experience.  Specialising in the freshest catch and creations, this lively seafood grill and restaurant is built right above the blue ocean.  Hear the lapping waves beneath you and feel the breeze gently caress you while you dine.  Here, you can enjoy the freshest seafood with a touch of Maldivian flavour, right off the grill.  Let romance take over as the skies light up with the sparkle of a million stars.  Sit back and enjoy the gorgeous view of the Indian Ocean and its magnificent sunset while savouring a candlelight dinner.
