Situated in the South Malé Atoll, Anantara Veli is a luxury hideaway in a beautiful lagoon. Accommodation is stylishly designed with guests’ comfort and needs in mind. Across the water just moments away lies Anantara Veli’s sister resort, Anantara Dhigu. Guests have use of the facilities on both islands during their stay.


Slightly more affordable than Anantara Dhigu, Anantara Veli is the perfect romantic getaway. The Over-Water Bungalows are a few feet above the crystal clear waters, home to lush coral gardens. The marvels of nature are complemented by the chic simplicity of design and the idyllic seclusion you would expect of a luxury resort.


If the mood hits, the Anantara resorts have a variety of excursions and activities available: Book a treatment at the Anantara Spas; enjoy a dip in the infinity-edge beachfront pool; schedule a private, deserted-island picnic; or even sign up for cooking classes to duplicate the regional delights.


Anantara also offers a marvelous selection of dining experiences, possibly the widest range of delicious options in the Maldives. Toast the sunset with your favorite cocktail at the Aqua bar, or savor the Thai traditions of Lanna and Isaan by enjoying Far Eastern delights at the over-water Baan Huraa, nestled on the edge of a coral reef.
