Velaa private island Maldives

Located north of Male, this island is 45 minutes by seaplane from Male international airport.

Velaa private island is part of the Noonu atoll situated towards the northwest edge of the Maldives archipelago. The island’s name literally means turtle island due to the generation of sea turtles that have nested on its beaches. Less than 20 hectares in size, Velaa is totally exclusive and ensures complete privacy for all its guests.

Velaa is the realization of a dream to create a ‘beyond luxury’, ultra-exclusive, boutique hide-away. This unique destination was developed to embody the very best of the archipelago, with its azure skies and aquamarine waters of the Indian Ocean.

This extremely private retreat is an elegant fusion of Maldivian culture with contemporary luxury. The resort design borrows from the island theme, with turtle motifs, and the colors and patterns of turtle shell pervading the property.
