Angsana Velavaru is a vibrant all inclusive resort in the pristine South Nilandhe Atoll. The name "Velavaru" translates to "Turtle Island" in the local language, reflecting the abundance of marine life that inhabits its crystal-clear waters. From the moment guests arrive by seaplane, they will be treated to luxurious accommodation, attentive service and superb facilities.
Accommodation at Angsana Velavaru is split between charming beachfront villas and the luxurious InOcean villas, which are reached by a boat from the main private island. This unique location gives the InOcean villas a true sense of escapism, whilst those staying in the villas on the main island will have the experience of being surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, with the white sand beach just steps away.
Cuisine at Angsana Velavaru ranges from Pan-Asian cuisine to Mediterranean specialties, all served against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean. One of the restaurants is located within the InOcean cluster, meaning that guests don’t have to stray far from their overwater accommodation. Though not included in the all inclusive package, guests can also enjoy customised destination dining experiences, from beach barbecues to a private dinner on a floating deck.
Angsana Velavaru offers a myriad of experiences to suit couples and families alike, boasting an impressive "101 Activities". Adventurous guests for example can explore the vibrant underwater world through snorkelling or scuba diving excursions. For those seeking relaxation, the resort's award-winning spa offers a range of indulgent treatments inspired by traditional Asian healing techniques. The resort is committed to minimising its ecological footprint through various initiatives, including coral reef programmes and community engagement projects.

As a keen diver I loved Angsana Velavaru's house reef. We explored dozens of diving spots and saw a whole host of wonderful fish, but couldn't cover them all. Next time!
