Velaa Private Island

Luxury without limits

What it is

A collection of over-the-top luxe waterside villas on a private island some 116 miles North of Male.

What it isn't

Easy to get to. But few things worth doing are.

What we think

Beyoncé-types—you know who you are—flock here. Why? Because Velaa treats every single guest like royalty, good hair or no. You can choose your own adventure when it comes to villa type—there are eight varieties, including thatch-roofed, lagoon-side two-bedroom pool houses to sunset-facing pool villas with soaking tubs overlooking the sea. Your choice doesn’t really matter as 1) they’re all exquisite and 2) you’ll likely spend a majority of your time beyond those walls. The activities on this sumptuous atoll: sunrise yoga on a platform over the ocean, diving with grey reef sharks and manta rays and sailing on the resort’s catamaran, just to name a few.

You're here because

They maintain the only golf academy in the Maldives, designed by Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal.

The Moment

As evening falls in the overwater spa bungalows, you dip your toe in the hot tub that seems to float, mirage-like, on the Indian Ocean. Bliss.
