Anantara Veli Maldives Resort

Anantara Veli Maldives Resort offers an adults-only island escape in the South Malé Atoll, where laid-back romance meets a vibrant and effortlessly social atmosphere.

Set on a pristine stretch of white sand surrounded by a calm turquoise lagoon, Anantara Veli blends barefoot simplicity with refined design. Accommodation is centred around elegant overwater villas and beachfront retreats, many with private pools and direct lagoon access, creating an intimate connection to the ocean. With just a select number of villas, the resort maintains a sense of tranquillity while offering a more relaxed and sociable energy than many traditional adults-only escapes.

Dining

Dining is both varied and immersive, with a selection of restaurants offering Thai, Asian and international cuisine in distinctive settings. From the overwater elegance of Baan Huraa to the theatrical flair of Teppanyaki at Origami, each venue brings its own character. Guests can also enjoy a wider dine-around experience across neighbouring islands, adding further depth and flexibility to the culinary offering.

Playing

The lagoon provides ideal conditions for swimming, snorkelling and watersports, while surfing, diving and island excursions offer more adventurous pursuits. Guests can explore nearby Gulhifushi picnic island or take advantage of full access to the facilities at neighbouring Anantara Dhigu, creating a broader resort experience that combines seclusion with variety.

Pampering

The Balance Wellness Spa offers a holistic approach to relaxation, with a range of treatments, therapies and wellness programmes designed to restore and rejuvenate. Yoga sessions, fitness facilities and personalised experiences ensure a well-rounded approach to wellbeing in a serene island setting.
