We had our absolute, perfect, dream honeymoon! Every staff member was extremely friendly, helpful, and just a joy to interact with. Our villa host, Ali, went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible, and we did! Couldn't recommend this resort more highly. From the rooms to the beaches, to the views, to the food, to the people, this was the most superlative honeymoon we could have asked for! Thank you!

Our experience at the Veli was simply the best. First because it's adults only but we can still enjoy both Anantara resorts. The staff is really thoughtful and amazing. They know how to make us feel good and have the best experience. About the restaurants we were really happy about trying the Japanese and the Thai.
Our water villa was the best, facing the sunset, very good space and the perfect bed.
Would like the take this opportunity to thank Noah for taking really good care of us and also Adam for letting our room so tidy and clean every day.

Great resort for a getaway, many great food choices (7 restaurants), we stayed for 3 nights and we don’t get bored of the food options.
The resort is made up of 3 interconnected islands each with its own beaches and views. Many beautiful snorkeling spots easy to access from the beaches where we were able to see a turtle, baby sharks and many other types of fish.
Our host Ibrahim was great and very accommodating to all our needs. Overall highly recommended for a getaway vacation.

A trip of a lifetime! An amazing holiday of pure luxury and exceptional service. Staff never say no and genuinely want you to be happy and enjoy yourself. I’ve been to Maldives 3 times and it gets better every time.
Being in the adults only island was so peaceful but also allowed us to enjoy the restaurants and other facilities on the other islands. Italian, Thai and the beach dinner were our absolute favourites.
The villa was stunning and views were incredible.
Special thank you to Noah, Bokey, Ibrahim and Chef Sai for their personal touch and exceptional hospitality!

We just had THE best experience at this resort.
We went to nurse shark snorkelling and what an unforgettable experience it was. Never had I seen so many sharks!
Food here is also great and lots of variety. We didn’t have to repeat any restaurants for dinner. Haven’t had a bad meal here!
The service here is super. They make sure you are taken care of. All staff was friendly and helpful (very consistent).
Want to give a shout out to Rose, our resort host. She was attentive to all details and arrangements. She was checking on us to make sure we had the best time. Thank you Rose!
