Velaa Private Island

Home · Maldives · Velaa Private Island

One of the Maldives' most exclusive islands — fine dining, a golf academy and faultless privacy in Noonu Atoll.

Velaa occupies its own island in Noonu Atoll and sits firmly at the top of the market — around 47 villas, residences and standalone houses, spaced for absolute privacy. The design is crafted and considered, and the service ratio is high enough that requests are met before they're voiced.

Its signatures set it apart: the fine-dining restaurant Aragu, a dramatic wine and champagne tower, a snow room in the spa, and a practice golf academy shaped with José María Olazábal. This is an island for guests who want the very best and the quiet to enjoy it.
