Ultra-luxurious Velaa Private Island, located in the Maldives’ Noonu Atoll, is the perfect escape for UAE National Day long weekend. Just a short a flight from Dubai, even the shortest getaway to this island paradise will feel like a month holiday as adventure, romance, relaxation and gastronomy awaits.
This luxurious resort has something for all the family, from the LHA Velaa Kids Club, nine holes of golf with the Velaa Golf Academy by pro player José María Olazábal and the Velaa Spa for customised treatments. From wind surfing, jet skis, stand up paddleboards to wakeboarding, snorkelling and scuba diving, there are also plenty of activities to adults and children alike to explore one of the world’s most beautiful oceans.
With a range of 47 private villas, houses and exclusive residences, each guest can find the perfect hideaway to match their needs – whether it’s a beach front location, overwater bungalow or proximity to the pool. For larger families or those travelling in a group, Velaa boasts a private four-bedroom residence with two terraces, an infinity pool and large courtyard. Perched on a private beach, the family-size residence comes with a personal butler to meet your every need and indoor and outdoor spaces for dining, relaxing and spending quality time.
About Velaa Private Island
Nestled within the constellation of islands that form the Noonu Atoll in Maldives, Velaa Private Island takes exclusivity to the next level with facilities and service that go beyond traditional resorts. Designed by award-winning Czech architect Petr Kolar as “an elegant fusion of Maldivian culture with contemporary luxury, intimate with Maldivian nuances”.
Velaa Private Island is the realisation of a dream to create a ‘beyond luxury’ exclusive boutique hideaway in the Maldives. Velaa means “Turtle” in the local language – named after generations of sea turtles that flock there to nest and hatch. From a broader “bird’s eye view” which greets arrivals by seaplane, the island’s exclusive over-water villas are also constructed to resemble the head of a turtle, with the island forming the body.
The resort comprises 47 private villas, houses and exclusive residences. While 18 of the 47 are built over water, the Romantic Pool Residence can only be reached by boat, allowing even more privacy and exclusivity.
