Let the beauty of Anantara touch you at Anantara Veli Resort & Spa, Maldives. Retreat hand in hand to a Maldivian paradise, enveloped in soft white sands and turquoise waters. Here, time is a luxury well spent in the pursuit of leisure and tranquillity, at one of the most naturally stunning destinations on earth.

At Anantara Veli, the marvels of nature are complemented by the chic simplicity of the design, and the idyllic seclusion that you seek is balanced by all the modern conveniences you would expect of a luxury resort.

Set in the South Malé Atoll just half an hour from Malé International Airport, Anantara Veli brings you the island paradise of your dreams - a destination created for thrilling honeymoons and romantic getaways.

Unwind on endless white sand beaches, palm-fringed islands and pristine coral reefs. Contemplate the oceanic light as it evolves from morning glow to evening dusk - bathing the coconut thatched roofs in subtly-changing hues, and glittering off the clear waters just beneath your private bungalow.
