About the resort
Velaa Private Island
Velaa takes its name from the Dhivehi word for turtle, and the island is shaped like one — the overwater villas forming the head, the jungle the body. It is one of the most private addresses in Noonu Atoll: a small collection of villas and residences, butlers for every guest, a golf academy, and a wellbeing village where the Maldives' only snow room sits alongside the spa.
