The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Culinary Paradise

Dining at Velaa was an absolute highlight of our stay. The main restaurant, Athiri, served a vast array of dishes that were not only delicious but also beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed their fresh seafood and the options varied daily, making each meal a good surprise. The specialty restaurants, like Aragu, offered a fine dining experience that featured creative tasting menus with lovely flavors. Every meal we had, from breakfast to dinner, exceeded our expectations—truly world-class!

Exquisite Spa Retreat

The spa experience at Velaa was simply out of this world. I had the pleasure of trying the unique snow room—a fantastic feature that allows you to step into a room below zero degrees while overlooking the Indian Ocean. The massages were heavenly and helped me unwind completely. Even my husband remarked that his treatment was among the best he had ever experienced. Every detail was catered to ensure a truly rejuvenating experience.

Adventure Awaits

The range of activities available was impressive! I particularly enjoyed the various water sports options. We took a guided snorkeling session and even got to try out the seabob machines, which were so much fun! The fitness center was well-equipped, and I appreciated the variety of classes and water toys available. My favorite was the sunset dolphin cruise; it was an lovely moment of relaxation and excitement.

Luxurious Villas

Our overwater sunset villa was like a dream come true! The villa was spacious and featured a private pool with direct access to the ocean. It had all the amenities one could ask for, including several well-stocked mini-bars. The large circular jacuzzi and rain shower made our stays in the room incredibly comfortable. We loved lounging on the deck while soaking in the stunning sunset views.
