Personalized Services
Yes. Velaa means “turtle” in Dhivehi, the local Maldivian language. Our name is inspired by the generations of sea turtles that inhabit the island and its beautiful coral reef. Conceptualised by renowned Czech architect, Petr Kolář, the design weaves contemporary luxury with intimate Maldivian nuances. Throughout the resort, a subtle design reference to the turtle is always present. From a bird’s eye aerial view, the exclusive over-water villas form the head of a turtle, whilst the island and strategically placed jetties resemble its body and flippers.

Yes. Meal Services are available from 5AM to 11PM Daily from our main restaurents. Any other services can be arranged as required.
