Location

Velassaru Maldives is idyllically situated on a private coral island in the heart of the South Male Atoll—nestled in turquoise waters and surrounded by untouched nature. The island itself captivates with fine white sandy beaches. The compact size of the island makes it easy and comfortable to explore on foot, allowing guests to reach all areas of the resort in just a few minutes. The offshore house reef is located not far from the shore and invites guests to go on snorkeling adventures. The resort can be reached from Male Airport in approximately 25 minutes by speedboat.
