Perched on an expansive private lagoon in the virtually untouched South Nilandhe Atoll in the Maldives, Angsana Velavaru (known locally as “Turtle Island”) is surrounded by sparkling sapphire waters and an impressive house reef teeming with sea life.

Angsana Velavaru is a sanctuary of seclusion, offering guests the chance to unwind in overwater villas or beachfront retreats. Each room is a harmonious blend of modern 5★ luxury and Maldivian charm, featuring private pools, direct access to the Indian Ocean, and spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding atolls.

Wonderfully unique, Angsana Velavaru is split into two with the 113 villas either steps from the pristine white sand beach or in a cluster a short boat ride away, completely separated from the main island and offering a true overwater experience.

Culinary excellence is at the heart of the Angsana Velavaru experience. Indulge your taste buds in a gastronomic journey at the resort's diverse dining venues. Boasting four restaurants and two bars including gourmet themed buffets at Kaani restaurant and delicious Mediterranean cuisine in a lovely overwater setting at Azzurro. Enjoy signature Asian dishes at intimate Funa Restuarant and visit Kuredhi Pool Bar for light meals and creative cocktails.

Aside from sunbathing and unwinding from the stresses of day to day life, Angsana Velavaru is awash with experiences for couples and families alike. From snorkelling safaris to invigorating spa treatments, conservation activities to learning about Maldivian heritage, you’ll struggle to fit it all in!

For those seeking adventure, Angsana Velavaru offers a plethora of water-based experiences. Dive into the azure depths and explore vibrant coral reefs, accompanied by the resort's experienced guides. Glide through the waves on a catamaran, embark on a thrilling jet ski excursion (payable locally), or try your hand at windsurfing—the options are as boundless.
