Paradise”
our stay at angsana was definitely worth it. i actually considered booking at another resort that has mostly 'sand'. i checked out angsana velaveru and saw with the aerial shots that it had more corrals than the other resort we were considering. i'm a beach person and really would like to lounge in the soft sand. however, some friends told me there would not be much fish to see without corrals..to our delight, angsana as would most of the resorts in the maldives, was paradise at first sight. it must be the long travel time it took before getting there, but really, our stay made us feel that we were in paradise..with little bunnies and birds fluttering about during breakfast.. it's a fairly small island compared to other resorts, but was really convenient. you call walk around the island maybe in an hour or less, and kayak around it in 30 minutes..half of the island had fine sand, while the other half was facing corrals. so i guess we got the best of both. i don't know with other resorts, but angsana has free daily snorkeling trips (2x a day) and free complimentary yoga sessions (daily). we never expected to enjoy snorkeling so much that we joined the daily trip and even booked for night snorkeling.. getting the pool villa was great. after heading to the beach, we jump into the cold pool and wash off the seawater from our suits.it's like a giant bathtub.you also get an outdoor shower, and get to enjoy bathing outside without ever worrying about anyone might be peeping. the toilet is also open air (not enclosed, though connected to the room), so it doesnt smell when you know what. after 3 nights staying in a deluxe beachfront pool villa, we moved to the premiere in ocean villa..the feel was different. it was grand and relaxed at the same time. the pool was definitely great compared to the photos of other more posh resorts. for the price, i'd say my stay at angsana was worth it. i'm truly looking forward to anther trip to the maldives if the budget pe

Beautiful, relaxed resort”
We stayed in a lovely beach front villa, well hidden in lush vegetation. We skipped the jacuzzi and pool options, saving some money and with the ocean a couple of steps from the doorway we didn't feel we missed out. The villa had a cute little garden with outdoor shower and relax area, and private sun loungers on the beach. The resort was for the most part very quiet. No party crowds which we appreciated at least. The proximity to your neighbour sometimes meant unwanted noise but it was not a big problem. The buffet dinner and breakfast in the main restaurant was of good quality. Food from the nearby bar and food from the room service menu however was quite bland and even if not terribly expensive definitely not good enough and quite a disappointment. Even if not given as an option by hotel staff, we took the transfer boat out to the In Ocean Villas's restaurant and ate from their bar menu - it turned out to be the best meal of our stay. Very reasonably priced, well cooked food and without all the people from the main island. A good choice! Snorkelling was really good when going on an excursion out to other nearby islands. Didn't do any dives, but for small fish we're sure it's satisfactory. From what we heard though, it is not a primary spot for shark diving. Overall, we had a great stay at Angsana Velavaru, and even if tempted to sample also other resorts in the Maldives we would absolutely consider returning for a second visit!

Unforgettable times !!!”
well, we have absolutely no complaints about our 7 days in angsana velavaru resort. on the contrary !!! we've had really perfect moments there. everything conspired in favor in that magic island, making our stay so delightful. in the first 5 nights we were placed beachfront jet pool villa, and the last 2 days in in ocean pool villa. both are amazing, each one with theirs particularities. so, we quite recomend this wonderful resort simply because of the super delicious food in all restaurants; the very helpfull staff; so beautiful atoll; well equiped marina center; the great water activities and trips (like whaleshark snorkling)... there were all perfect !!! we hope came back as soon as possible...

Relaxation and bliss”
We spent three days at the Angsana Velavaru and the only words that come to mind are pure relaxation. The overall impression of the place was great from the start as the place is very picturesque, but you would expect that from the Maldives. The staff were very pleasant from the get go, but we were really delighted when we saw our beach hut, which was splendid. A big bedroom, a nice patio 20 meters from the beach and then a beautiful private pool in the back. The first thing we did was go snorkeling and get a bit of sunburn (don't underestimate the strength of the sun, I would suggest snorkeling with a t-shirt on at all times) and then head off for lunch, which we had in the little bar/restaurant which was nice. The food selection in this restaurant was varied and was very good quality, but like everything else quite pricey. A bit more swimming during a downpour and then dinner at the buffet (which was OK, but nothing special). This pretty much describes all three days we spent there with some other activities thrown into the mix. The important points to mention is that there were a lot of activities organized and we would definitely recommend the snorkel safari even though the reef we went to was nice, but the Lonely Planet good was correct in saying that it wasn't the best dive spot around. Another activity we would recommend is the island life tour which shows you how Maldivians live. There were numerous other activities available, including diving, beach volleyball, beach football, lots of water sports etc. The one highlight of the whole trip for me was the massage at the spa, which was expensive (US$ 130 per person for 60 minute massage and 30 minutes relaxation) but worth it. The massage was truly spectacular and I felt as relaxed as I had ever been after it. Overall the Angsana Velavaru was excellent, but definitely make sure you have a good budget and I would say limit your stay to 5-7 days, anything more and things could get a little boring.

Superb Resort!!”
I booked Angsana Velavaru through Agoda.com quite last minute, almost 10days before my honeymoon trip! But thanks for the promotion Stay 2 nights pay 1 night offer from Agoda, I managed to stay in this excellent resort in Maldives ^_^ The staff are very helpful and friendly, the environment in the whole island is just feel like staying in the heaven. There are 3 main restaurants: Kaani, Azzurro and Funa Restaurant and each have their own specialities. Although Funa Restaurant have the best ambience for fine dining, but the food is not as per my expectation. Other than that, the In-villa BBQ is a must-try for honeymooners. Will definitely recommend this resort for honeymooners, you will never forget the romantic experience!

Exceptional”
Great Service, accommodation, and food. A big shout out to Manual who was brilliant. Replied to e-mails promptly and gave us a surprise upgrade. Thank you for that. Makes it doubly special as it was our honeymoon. With so many resorts in the Maldives, it was difficult to choose a perfect destination. Didn't regret choosing Angsana Velavaru though. Will remember Angsana Velavaru forever for its beauty and privacy. The villas are modern and well-equipped. Spacious and there are plenty of places to take brill pictures.

Romantic Getaway”
Great place with great staff and facilities. Had a wonderful and memorable time and will recommend Angsana Velavaru to anyone visiting the Maldives. The only problem are the pests: lizards of all sizes, dragonflies, big bees and giant roaches that freely roamed our bathroom, balcony and once even in our inner room. The resort staff didn't understand at first the unpleasantness of this pest experience: taking a shower with a dragonfly hovering over your head and a lizard on the wall sucks. This was very frustrating given this place charges top dollar, However, Karen, our guest relations manager, came to a heroic rescue and totally empathized with our concerns, and then gave us a complimentary late check out on our last day. Overall, the staff were all very friendly, helpful and wonderful to interact with. The facilities were top notch. Food was, overall, average however - a 3/5: it was something we did fine with but didn't relish. The choice of activities available is also awesome. .

Perfect Honeymoon”
We stayed at Angsana Velavaru for 3 nights for our honeymoon. Everything was well arranged by the resort. The sea-plane was fantastic as we managed to capture the picturesque view of Maldives..we stayed at deluxe beachfront pool villa and it was great. The pool is big enough and the shower is located near the pool. We took full board and all the dining was in Kaani Restaurant. But unfortunately the full board does not cover drinks. However they have 3 more restaurants where you will get 50% discount if you take full board @AIP. We also went for diving and it was really great. the dive instructor, was good and helpful. We managed to see dolphins..

Little Paradise”
Angsana Velavaru is a great resort. It's totally isolated from the other islands and the only way to get there is by seaplane. We stayed there for three nights in a Beachfront Jet Pool Villa and I think it was the best decision we made, because we had our Jacuzzi in our villa and the beach in front of us. Luckily, it was a sunset view villa and we enjoyed the stunning sunset view of the Indian Ocean. All the Staff was extremely helpful and attentive, the spa treatments were very relaxing and the food was good, although expensive, but not as expensive as I expected based on some reviews. We had a great time there! Highly Recommended!

Perfect destination”
Angsana velavaru in maldives is such a paradise. Stayed at their ocean villa and we love it so much. Villa room feels like home. And very private. Good for couple or family who wants to relax and have privacy. Magnificent view of ocean. Foods at thier restaurant are delicious. Staff are all kind. Sunset cruise with dolphin watching is amazing😍. They have also land area that guest from villa can visit. Kids room is available there and some other activities can be found in land area. We will surely miss our villa room and the people at Angsana. Thank you for making our stay memorable😍. And thank for the team who put flowers arrangement to greet us for our wedding anniv. We stayed 4days to welcome our new yr there.

Unforgettable trip and memories that will last a lifetime!!”
Angsana made this once in a lifetime trip even more special for me and my family of four (+husband and 11-year old twin boys). The Angsana team went above and beyond to accommodate my special requests as I wanted to make this trip perfect and had to make a lot of last minute itinerary changes due to the unexpected weather. Special mentions go out to the visionary island photographer Ikram, the extremely accommodating reception staff Fannie and Karen, the talented massage therapists, and the experienced scuba diving and snorkeling team. What an unforgettable way to celebrate my 40th and Christmas with the family! Thank you Angsana Velavaru, you are truly heaven on Earth!

Most Heartfelt Service we've experienced in years!”
Hands down to the most sincere service we have experienced in all our years of travel. The smiles from the staff and crew of Angsana Velavaru match the warmth of the Maldivian sun! The entire property is heavenly, with housekeeping cleaning your rooms twice daily. We experienced proper coordination from the moment we booked, landed in Maldives, transferred via local flight and speedboat, to the time we arrived. When we left, four of their staff even lined up waving at us as the boat took us to our seaplane. ❤️ Great for families!

Paradise on earth”
there were a little mix up on the flight information, but the staff at the airport was very helpful and helped us to arrange for a flight to Angsana Velavaru. The journey was around 45 mins, and we were being transferred to the In Ocean Villa side to check in. The villa was really big, with a personal pool and a platform which you can go down the ocean to snorkel. There is another floor upstairs when you can have in room dining, massages, or just to soak up the sun. Very clean and well maintained. Free complimentary hi-speed wifi provided, and they drop by some tiny gifts everyday to the villa, like a cookie, a starfish souvenir n etc. very sweet. We were there to celebrate Christmas, and they had setup an amazing buffet n pre dinner cocktail party. There were caroling and santa appearance, gifts for all the children. We all had a great time, it was an amazing experience. Staffs were really friendly and welcoming. They had one of the best spa around, it's a must try. Very well pampered trip, and will definitely go back again.

Heaven on Earth, amazing staff!”
Absolute Heaven on Earth! From the moment you step onto the jetty, you are overcome by complete relaxation. We were served a choice of sorbet to refresh us whilst they completed the check in service. We booked ourselves a jet pool villa, and this was an excellent choice as, in the mornings the tide was very low and the sun was warm, so to be able to escape into our own 'mini' pool, was perfect! The staff are an absolute asset to Angsana. They make every effort to know each guest personally and are very attentive to your every need. From the staff at the reception, restaurants and the marine centre to the cleaning staff, they are all amazing. The diving experience was one in a lifetime. Angsana definitely know how to make their guests feel relaxed and enjoy every experience they have to offer. We saw sharks, rays and marine turtles amongst other fish types, but the way in which the dive staff exude calmness and friendliness just adds to the perfect experience. The restaurants that the island offers are of top quality with breathtaking views and professional service. The experience is decadent and a definite must. This was a holiday of a lifetime for us, something we would only be able to afford once, but Angsana made it magical and memorable! Thank- you Angsana for rejuvenating our souls and strengthening our marriage x

Fantastic honeymoon experience!”
We went to this hotel as our honeymoon trip and first time to maldives. The staff were very attentive, and were more than willing to help you. We carelessly left our camera stands in the seaplane, while we informed to the reception, they immediately made a quick report and arranged the lost item to be transferred to our room within the same day. It was very impressive with their excellent service! The food in Azzuro is a LOT better than any other hotel restaurants that we had stayed before. From food decoration, pleasant servings, it is all tastefully designed and presented to us. The morning reakfast has a good wide spread from english to chines dishes, fresh coffee and fruit juices, 3 courses set lunch including roast beef and set dinner with choice of lamb rack! It is highly recommended to go for a full board plan as the alarcate prices can be more expensive. We didn't try the reef restaurant on the island. We did the night fishing and caught 2 fishes which the Chef then prepared for dinner for free. We even had a lobster meal which cost only USD75 that is absolutely delicious! It was our first time to the Maldives and all & all it was a wonderful experience. We definitely recommend this hotel for honeymooners & couples.

Friendly and approachable staffs.”
i stayed a total of six nights with angsana velavaru resort. the staffs were friendly, approachable and helpful. we had a room with the jet pool or rather jacuzzi, but we only used it two times throughout the entire stay. the housekeeping was efficient and we had little surprises in the form of souvenirs every night form them. though the island is small, the great scenery makes it up. activities provided by the resort were a little limited, especially when we don't snorkel and dive. as such do prepare to rest and relax entirely when you intend to stay with the resort. and one important note, it will cost you around or more to hire a maldivian air taxi if you ever intend to visit other islands.

Best resort i ever stay in my life!”
It was a very wonderful place that me and my wife has fully enjoy the stay, the staff was the one which mark our days in Maldives. We celebrate our 12th years anniversary there, and i say out loud that was the best anniversary we ever spend, friendly staff, clean beach, nice food, great view. Although the trip in the sea-plane is tired, but with all the good point i think it worth the try. Me and my wife will sure be back to the same resort if we have the chance again. Thanks for the wonderful holiday that you guys brought to us. Thanks Angsana.
