Velassaru, Maldives

Secluded but not isolated, Velassaru is located on a private coral island on South Male Atoll, just a 30-minute speedboat ride away from Male international airport.

The island boasts fine white sandy beaches and a turquoise lagoon - the resort buildings and accommodation designed to convey minimalist chic in teak, stone and thatch.
