Our Honeymoon in Anantara Veli was a dream come true. The place is beautiful, food was great, everyone was friendly and accommodating. Alam was our concierge, he was there to greet us, and he was just wonderful all the way, not only friendly, kind and helpful, but he really tried his best to make our stay very special. We are alse very grateful to Rizeen who was in charge of keeping our cabana always clean and comfortable for us, he did a great job, he was very friendly and attentive.

Hotel's Favourite
We stayed here in February and it's was an amazing experience. When you arrive on Male airport you are taken to the hotel lounge where you are given refreshments while you wait for your speed boat transfer. The boat takes about 40 mins. The resort in stunning, just like all the postcards you see of the Maldives. We stayed a deluxe over water bungalow with private pool. The room was amazing, the colour of the sea was what you'd expect from the Maldives. We saw lots of fish, reef sharks and turtle swim past our villa. The food was amazing too. Our favourite was the Thai restaurant for dinner and lunch. Saying that the breakfasts were one of the best at any resort we've ever stayed at. They cater for all dietary requirements (my wife is vegan and she loved the variety of options). Service was 5 stars too and the wifi was great. Only slight criticism is that you had no choice but to pay for premium water brands at lunch and dinner at $8 a bottle, they didn’t offer you the cheaper local brands that you get free in your room. We stayed at another resort and at least you had the option to buy a local brand ($3 a bottle) Otherwise, this place is perfect.…

I am delighted to state that Anantara Veli is where you want to go in Maldives! Top notch services from Alam, our host, and his respected manager Imthiyaaz starting from a warm welcoming during our arrival for our honeymoon till our check-out. All staff are also amazing and friendly. They extremely care about our comfort and demands, they remember our names, villa number and favorite orders from how we like our eggs to be cooked to our favorite drinks. We were briefed with the resort activities as well as the Aquafanatics Dive & Water Sports after our arrival. Our parasailing experience was amazing. We even went for a Sunset Cruise trip where we were lucky to see the dolphins. We saw amazing sea creatures with the crystal clear sea and soft white sands during our stay. We ate amazing variety of food on several restaurants between Veli island and Dhigu island offering Italian, International, Thai, Japanese, Seafood Cuisines. For better planning during our stay, all were reserved for us in advance by Alam. Our overwater villa was cleaned twice a day and the water bottles were always available. In addition, the villa was equipped with AC for extra comfort. There is also a good Wi-Fi connection throughout the islands, and on top of everything, they allowed us for a late check-out as our departure flight was later at night time. All in all, this place is incredible and everything was literally fantastic! We highly recommend it without reservation. Last but not least, special thanks and appreciation go to Alam and his manager Imthiyaaz for their great efforts in making our honeymoon so special and wonderful. You have our sincere thanks and gratitude!…

This holiday not only met my expectations but surpassed them in every way. The resort is the epitome of paradise, complete luxury yet beautifully simple. Your personal concierge takes care of you throughout your whole stay and all the staff are incredibly personable. We were celebrating Christmas and a belated special birthday - the team helped us organise a beautiful surprise. The rooms are beautiful and kept this way for the whole holiday. (Housekeeping delivered a stocking full of yummy treats on Christmas Eve!). The activities and restaurants on offer are myriad and run professionally but also in a very friendly way. (The food in Origami is particularly tasty and the street food banquet was a very special experience. Breakfast was my favourite! The kitchens were all able to cater to my dietary requirements and with no fuss.) The spa is a resort in itself and completely peaceful. We also took a private boat trip to a sandbank and a sunset cruise - the crew were attentive and welcoming. What makes this place stand out is how guests are made to feel totally at ease and looked after. I feel as though I’ve left a piece of my heart at Anantara Veli, so I’m sure I’ll be back again soon. Special mentions for our concierge/guest services contact, Hidha, who worked seemingly effortlessly to make sure we had everything we needed and more during our stay. Also for David in Guest Services. For Saammy and Ashram in housekeeping. For Rashima and Bokkey in 73 Degrees. For Lahiru in Dhoni Bar and Origami. Also George in Origami. For Katya in Aquafanatics. And for Nino and Muayad in the spa.…
