Great resort!!! Came here for our honeymoon. Had a really good time. Great food, awesome villas and amazing butler service. They also have house reef where you can enjoy snorkelling. You can also access Anantara Dhigu’s island as well.

My wife and I recently spent our honeymoon at Anantara Veli Maldives, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Faz, the resort manager, who made sure every aspect of our stay was seamless and enjoyable. The level of hospitality we experienced at Anantara Veli was exceptional. The entire resort team was professional, friendly, and always willing to assist. We were especially touched by how attentive and genuine the staff were, often going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. We opted for the half board package, which included daily breakfast and dinner. This allowed us to explore a variety of dining options while providing excellent value and convenience during our stay. One of the unexpected highlights was a complimentary upgrade to the Deluxe Over Water Pool Villa. The villa offered breathtaking views and direct access to the ocean, creating the perfect private sanctuary for our honeymoon. It truly elevated our experience and made it all the more memorable. On our final night, my wife and I were feeling slightly under the weather. Noa, one of the supervisors, noticed this and kindly provided us with some lozenges to ease our sore throats. Her kindness and attentiveness reflected the caring culture we experienced throughout our stay. While our experience was overwhelmingly positive, we do have a couple of suggestions for improvement. It would be helpful if the resort offered bicycles for guests to travel more easily, especially for those staying in overwater villas that are located farther from the main island. Additionally, we found that the snack options were quite limited and relatively pricey, which could be improved considering that guests are confined to the island with no nearby alternatives. All in all, Anantara Veli exceeded our expectations and provided us with the perfect setting for our honeymoon. We left feeling relaxed, cared for, and grateful for the thoughtful service and luxurious surroundings. I would highly recommend this resort to couples looking for a romantic and peaceful getaway.

We stayed at the Anantara Veli Maldives Resort for our trip to paradise, and the experience truly lived up to the name. Anantara Veli delivered a dreamlike escape every single day. Our overwater bungalow was a highlight—having the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean just steps away made it effortless to jump in for a swim anytime. The room was consistently clean and thoughtfully maintained throughout the day. There was no shortage of ways to enjoy our time: lounging by the beach, pool, or right at the villa; snorkeling in crystal-clear waters; or hopping between islands for a taste of local adventure. The food options were diverse and exciting, making it easy to avoid repetition. That said, we definitely had some favorites worth returning to—crepes from Cumin for breakfast, oysters and pizza for lunch, and Greek salad and the wrapped dates for dinner. The staff provided excellent service and were warm, engaging, and attentive throughout our stay. If there’s one area for improvement, it would be to offer quicker dining options—sometimes we just wanted a fast bite rather than a full sit-down experience. Overall, 5/5—would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable getaway.

Had a lovely and comfortable stay at Anantara Veli! Special thanks to Fathi for going above and beyond to accommodate all our needs and arrange everything so smoothly. Also, big appreciation to the l staff at every restaurant we visited. Truly made our experience memorable!
Jashank Parwani
Great location. Just a 30 minute speed boat ride from Male. Rooms are very comfortable. Appreciate the adult only experience. Easy access to their sister resort on the adjacent island via a boat that runs back and forth all day. Cumin is the best restaurant. Origami a small disappointment. Service is stellar. Special thanks to our villa host Faz, Sunday the chef and Ibrahim our server who were very kind and went above and beyond for us.
