Angsana Velavaru – The Overall Resort Angsana Velavaru is an island we’ll never forget. From the moment we landed we felt like we’d stepped into paradise, but it was the people who made it feel like home. The island is beautiful, yes, but it’s the laughter, the little conversations, the kindness in every gesture that stays with you. We’ve been lucky to travel quite a bit, yet this place managed to combine everything we love about staying with locals and everything you hope for in luxury. Not once in two weeks were we bored, restless, or ready to leave – and that says it all. Some days we were busy with aquagym, bird feeding, reef cleaning, karaoke or snorkelling. Other days we just floated in the pool, watching the hammocks claim their next Instagram victim. The balance was perfect. The staff are not only brilliant at their jobs but talented far beyond them – photographers, athletes, performers, artists. Get to know them, and you’ll discover a whole world behind every smile. Special thanks: To all of the Angsana team for welcoming us like family. Sumith – you’re the star of the island, aquagym legend and multitasker extraordinaire. Jan – thank you for your warmth and constant kindness, you made us feel instantly at home. Kaani Restaurant Eating at Kaani was one of the highlights of our stay. Every night felt like a journey to a different corner of the world – Italian one evening, Maldivian the next, India after that. It was never repetitive, always fresh, always full of love and care. The Maldivian and Indian dishes especially will stay with us forever – fragrant curries, reef fish grilled to perfection, flavours that wrapped around you like a hug. And then there’s Chef Kuong, whose award-winning skill shines through in every bite. It’s one thing to eat well on holiday, but quite another to sit at dinner every night and think: this is unforgettable. Special thanks: Chefs Malith, Mansoor, Rahim, Prasong and Maumun – thank you for pouring your hearts into every dish. Chef Kuong – huge congratulations again on your award, your food made our holiday. Appa, Imthi, Hussain, Terow, Laila, Ijlal, and Fayaaz – you’re the best waiters anyone could ask for. You remembered our quirks, made us laugh, and turned every meal into something special. Khuredi Bar Khuredi quickly became our second living room. Whether it was a cheeky snack, a lazy lunch, or a late-night drink, it always felt relaxed and fun. The à la carte menu was a dream – the fish tacos, calamari, and anything from the Indian section (discovered far too late!) were unbeatable. But what made it even better were the people. Always smiling, always up for a laugh, never making anything feel like a fuss. They took care of us in that effortless way that makes you feel both spoiled and at ease. Special thanks: Litu, Zawho, Shamrah and Sunil – thank you for the laughs, for looking after us so well, and for making every visit to the bar feel like catching up with friends. The Dive Centre The dive centre crew are simply the best. We joined snorkelling trips almost daily and two whale shark excursions – each time we came back grinning like kids. They taught us so much about the reef and its creatures, and made every outing feel like an adventure shared with friends. We saw manta rays, turtles, eagle rays, nurse sharks, and fish in every colour imaginable. But more than that, we shared stories, jokes, and a lot of boat-ride giggles. By the end of two weeks, we didn’t just feel like guests, but like part of the team. Special thanks: Robata – thank you for your patience and encouragement. Both Ahmeds – for your humour and knowledge, always making us feel safe. Fazeel – for your kindness and care. Ageel – thank you for protecting the turtles (and us!), and for sharing your passion so openly.

Recently i have visited many resorts in Maldives and i can say that so far this is one of the best all round. Beautiful natural beach. Amazing and super clean rooms. Staff are extremely friendly and attentive. Food was great. So many choices of food. We stayed in both infinity pool beach villa and last night in ocean villa which was even more amazing. So peaceful. Everything is maintained so well and the rooms are super spacious. We loved it 😍😍

My first time in Maldives and very happy with everything. Very nice arrangement, hospitality, service, food, environment and many things. Staff name "Laila" she is excellent in giving us information, food and service. I enjoy every moment. I went for snorkeling everyday, sunset cruise and see dolphins then night fishing.

We just got back from an incredible one-week stay at Angsana Velavaru for our honeymoon, and we’re already missing it! Everything was beyond perfect. From the moment we landed, we were taken care of — smooth transfer from the airport and a warm welcome at the hotel. The island is absolutely beautiful, and the resort is spotless and perfectly maintained. The staff were amazing — always smiling, helpful, and genuinely kind. They made us feel at home every single day. There were plenty of fun activities to enjoy during the day, and the evening entertainment was fantastic! We especially loved the themed buffet nights — a different cuisine every evening, always delicious and beautifully presented. The drinks at the bar were great too, with lots of choice. We had such a wonderful time and created unforgettable memories. Angsana Velavaru is truly a little paradise. We can’t wait to come back someday! 100% recommend this place — you won’t be disappointed!
