ANANTARA VELI MALDIVES RESORT

This adults-only resort offers the best of barefoot luxury in the archipelago.

A trip to Maldives means that picturesque beach screensaver you have saved over the years will come to life. Expect shimmering waters in different shades of blue, colourful marine life gliding just below that surface, powder white sands, palm fringed peripheries and sun shining over it. It's a truly magical honeymoon destination for couples who want to celebrate their love in luxury and privacy. And the crowning jewel to start this memorable journey in this paradise is Anantara Veli Maldives Resort.

THE BEACH POOL VILLA

This mesmerising property embraces a contemporary Maldivian avatar and is home to 67 villas: that are either set on the beach, facing the ocean or stilted over the water. The beach pool villas are thoughtfully designed with indoor and outdoor spaces. Wake up to breathtaking sunrises and views of azure blue sea. All you need to do is relax and unwind.

THE OVER WATER VILLAS

Unparalleled luxury and privacy is promised for you and your beloved at their over water villas. Khush recommends splurging on their Deluxe Over Water Pool Villa for that ultimate honeymoon experience. It features an infinity pool, overwater hammock, oversized tub and ample space that'll make it your exclusive oasis.

THE USP

Anantara Veli Maldives Resort is located in the South Malé Atoll and is a mere 30-minute speedboat ride from the capital. This means the resort's location is ideal for a longer stay and for those who don't love flying. It is among the handful of adults-only luxury resorts in Maldives, so the vibe is relaxed yet upbeat.
