My partner and I stayed at Anantara Veli for my birthday week and it was truly a spectacular experience. I really want to call out all the staff that made this week incredibly magical for me. Starting off with food (which is most important), we absolutely loved Cumin restaurant at Veli which had incredible and authentic dishes from India and Sri Lanka (they also accommodate dietary preferences like gluten and dairy free). We loved getting to know the staff better and where everyone is from - special shout out to Logu, Ziyan, Bokey, chef Elayaraja and chef Kranthi for making every visit to Cumin truly amazing! They were so kind and accommodating! Next up, fitness and wellness - we signed up for the PT and wellness sessions everyday - Midhun (PT) was very knowledgeable and gave us really good engaging workouts! He also customised it based on how we’re feeling on the day which really helped especially if you have a busy day ahead! Kruti from the wellness spa was really sweet and suggested really good massages and facials to try - special shout out to Derus, Aria, Irene and Ika - highly recommend them for your massages and facials! Veli has a ton of activities so you will definitely not be bored! I would recommend staying here minimum for 1 week to make best use of all the activities they have to offer. Lastly, Ali our villa host was a superman - he helped organise our schedules and was really flexible with timings. Super reliable and took all the stress of planning away! This is easily one of my best trips and I’m excited to come back soon!

We stayed here for our honeymoon and had an amazing time! A shoutout to all the staff who made our trip so special: - Bokey at Cumin who introduced us to some amazing local food each morning - Ibrahim and Ei who were so much fun and such a delight to be around. Ibrahim made our mornings so special! - All the staff at Cumin breakfast and Baan Hurra - The chef at Baan hurra. It was our favorite restaurant and was the best Thai food we’ve ever had - Cocktails at Yellowfin bar - Ismael who was our boat driver for our surf trips. He made sure I had enough water, gave me fresh coconut and then brought up ice to put on it so it wouldn’t dry out. He brought towels to the top of the boat so I wouldn’t get burned on the metal railing. He was seriously so kind and thoughtful. He went to see his family half way through our trip but we are so lucky we got to meet him and he is fantastic!!! - Leo and Flora at TropicSurf. We had so much fun with them and Leo did a fantastic job figuring out the best times to take us out. - Karim and Prem at Dohni bar - Adam the room boy - Our host Ibrahim Thanks to all who made the trip so special. We can’t wait to go back!

10/10 recommend. The friendliest staff, the best food, felt and treated like royalty. Definitely expensive, but worth it for a honeymoon. Our favourite holiday we’ve ever had, felt like we joined a new family. Thanks again from the New Zealanders in room 145.
Aidana Azat
The customer service is top notch. The reception staff (our host Ibrahim), the wait staff are very well trained, very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. This itself made us enjoy the stay. The food in all the restaurants is excellent, you try anything from a buffet or alacarte menu, you will enjoy it. The bungalows are spacious and have good views. Rooms are well cleaned and all amenities are topped up every day. Our housekeeper (Rashad, if not mistaken) was very friendly, such a humble person. We would like to thank each and everyone in this hotel for making our honeymoon impeccable. (Ibrahim&Aidana)
