Classic Sri Lanka & Undiscovered Maldives
Our trademark authentic experiences and boutique accommodation in Sri Lanka combined with a different take on The Maldives.
Arrive by speedboat from Male in no time at all: Velassaru’s close proximity to the airport makes it a popular choice for convenience. But once you set foot on the shore, you’ll feel far-removed from the capital city. This is a small and chic resort in the Maldives with great food, friendly staff and a wonderful coral reef right at your doorstep.
The beach and water villas are minimalistic, clean and very elegant. Deluxe Bungalows are 70 square metres in size, split-level with garden bathrooms, terraces and large, comfortable beds. Beach villas are wonderful open spaces with private courtyards. If having your own private pool is a priority, opt for a beach or water villa with a pool, or splash out and book an enormous water suite with a private butler if you’re coming with a group.
There are no shortage of choices when it comes to dining: Japanese, seafood, Mediterranean, bar and grill, tapas and more. The full-board package is a great way to dine with peace of mind and most guests opt to take advantage of it. Snorkelling and ocean kayaking are popular activities along the fabulous coral reef on one side of the island, and the year-round warm water is perfect for bathing. The hotel also offers great spatreatments and plenty of cruises, excursions and adventures.
Velassaru is an ideal Maldivian honeymoon destination and comes highly recommended, particularly for couples. Due to the intimate nature of the resort, even with a high occupancy level, it still feels like your own private paradise.
Deluxe - This is our first really 'upmarket' category. It might be a beautiful tiny hotel with very limited facilities or a 5* resort hotel with all the trimmings; but any hotel in this category will be a well-run establishment with very comfortable rooms, a strong service ethos and excellent food.
