Anantara Veli Maldives Resort

On a palm‑fringed island in the South Malé Atoll, Maldives, this adults‑only waterfront resort sits steps from Dhigufinolhu and Bodu Hurraa beaches. It’s a short speedboat ride from Malé — roughly 35 minutes — and offers over‑water bungalows and all‑inclusive rates available.

Chic, simple rooms with island flair — 67 individually decorated bungalows, many perched over the lagoon. Options range from over‑water bungalows to Ocean Pool Bungalows with private plunge pools, direct lagoon access, furnished patios, deep soaking tubs and rainfall showers. In‑room perks include minibars, iPod docking/entertainment and tea‑and‑coffee facilities, with reef views from your deck.

Wellness and play collide: an Ayurvedic spa with massages and body treatments, sauna and steam rooms, an infinity‑edge pool plus outdoor pools and a private beach. A full activity roster includes diving, surfing, sailing and deep‑sea fishing, plus a fitness centre, yoga and a diving club. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and spot coral and tropical fish right off the deck.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet and a computer station keep you connected. Concierge, laundry/dry‑cleaning and private check‑in/out are available, and roundtrip airport shuttle service can be arranged for a surcharge.

Four on‑site restaurants cover seafood and global flavours, plus a bar/lounge, poolside bar and 24‑hour room service. All‑inclusive rates are offered (some special dinners, venues or items may carry extra charges), and a complimentary full breakfast is provided.
