Summary
Drift Thelu Veliga Retreat is located 90 kilometres southwest of Malé in the South Ari Atoll and is known for its outstanding, unspoiled natural beauty. The island is just over a hectare in size and has its own house reef.

Dining

Drift has just one restaurant, and the chefs focus on providing delicious dishes inspired by regional influences, using fresh seafood and local ingredients whenever possible. The restaurant offers a buffet as well as a la carte options, all in a stunning open-air environment. Both private and in-villa dining are available.

The beachfront bar provides the perfect opportunity to witness a stunning Maldivian sunset, and also offers light meals and snacks throughout the day.

Facilities & Activities

Overwater Spa

Drift's beautiful spa features three over-water treatment rooms, offering a range of indulgent therapies, specialising in natural and organic products.

Dive Centre

The specialized dive centre offers lessons and certifications as well as an array of diving and snorkeling trips. Popular dive sites are easily accessible by speedboat, including one popular with whale sharks that is just 20 minutes away. Alternatively, enjoy the house reef, located just 50 metres from the beach.

Water Sports

Both motorized and non-motorized water sports are available, including windsurfing, kayaking, paddle boarding and more.
