Wellness Resorts Maldives

1. Velaa Private Island

Currently, open and operating

Nestled within the constellation of islands that form the Noonu Atoll in the Maldives, Velaa Private Island takes remote exclusivity to the next level with facilities and service that go beyond traditional resorts. The realisation of a dream to create a ‘beyond luxury’ exclusive boutique hideaway in the Maldives, Velaa means “Turtle” in the local language – named after generations of sea turtles that flock there to nest and hatch. The resort comprises 47 private villas, houses and residences and four four-bedroom residences, while 18 are built over water.

Arguably the most private island in the world, Velaa Private Island Resort is located on the only island in the Maldives with a no-drone policy and has its own submarine and is home to its own golf course.
