Summary
Born from a love for the Maldives, Velaa Private Island is the passion project of a couple, Radka and Jiøí Šmejc, to create the world’s most luxurious private island resort and personal home. Located in Noonu Atoll, a 45 minute seaplane flight from Malé, Velaa is a destination in a category of its own, home to an array of amenities unseen across the Indian Ocean.
Velaa shares its name and its home with generations of sea turtles which have inhabited the island for countless years. The colours and patterns of a turtle shell make up subtle nuances in the design, while from a broader aerial view, Velaa’s exclusive over-water villas resemble the head of a turtle with the island and jetties resembling the body and flippers.
The resort is comprised of 47 private villas, houses and residences, including 4 bedroom residences. They have all been designed with privacy and comfort in mind, using local materials with contemporary flourishes. The resort boasts four restaurants, four bars and a wine cellar, offering a magical fusion of both International and Maldivian cuisine.
The resort also offers a range of facilities, including the Velaa Spa, the Velaa Golf Academy by Olazábal, a PADI dive centre, and the brand-new Eveylaa Wellbeing Village. There is also a kids club, library and a range of excursions on offer.
