This resort is amazing and very secluded..Highly recommended. The service is great, the beach and pool are awesome. Food is not the best but average as for the rooms are very spacious and comfortable allows you to snorkel around your room and will definitely see a lot of fish!! Hopefully can come back again soon More

Having read so many reviews in Tripadvisor, we have decided on this resort hoping for a perfect honeymoon. All rooms are over-the-water bungalow on this island and we happily stayed at one of these lovely bungalow. It's got a stairs which let you step into the water directly from your room. Water is crystal clear and there's loads of fish... More

My husband and I and 2 other friends stayed at Anantara Veli in late November, and words (or pictures) cannot describe how beautiful this resort is! If you're a generally reasonable person, like myself, I imagine that you should not be disappointed at all by your stay at Anantara. I won't really spend much time reviewing the restaurants or our...

I stayed at the Anantara Veli in October 2011 in a deluxe overwater bungalow for 8 nights. I got lucky and got a private transfer from the aiport to the hotel by speedboat because there were some flight delays. I was also very impressed they accomodated a very early arrival (0900) and delayed checkout (1800) so I got a full... More

We recently stayed at both Veli and Dhigu, 3 nights at each. In Veli we had the deluxe overwater bungalow. I'd recommend this upgrade if it's within your budget, you get a 50% bigger space and the separate landing for your sun lounges is great. There is a large, bathroom with fantastic bath looking over the water and you'll really... More

All accommodation at Anantara Veli is over-water bungalows. Step down from balcony and swim amongst corals and colourful fishes. Nice, small, quiet and serene island. Connected by 5mins free boat shuttle to Anantara Dighu which is a bigger island - more for families. They have a mix of over-water as well and land bungalows but nothing like Veli. Dighu has... More

We just came back from attending a wedding in this resort. The island and resort are both lovely. (Maldives is spectacular anyway!) We stayed in an overwater bungalow which was nice but we had zero privacy bc the back of our room looked onto the other bungalows and the water taxi that goes btwn Dhigu and Veli. The room was...

We didn't really know what to expect with our stay but we did enjoy our 4 nights there by the time we left. We felt like we got to know some of staff well who always made an effort to smile and stop by to ask how we were (compared to Soneva Gili where they were 'colder'). The rooms were... More
