马尔代夫维拉莎鲁酒店

Serene

Resort allowed illegal feeding of stingrays/sharks on shark excursion. Manager didn’t apologise and acted unaware of the laws. Overall there was a lack of welcome, lack of management presence. This was my 4th trip to Maldives. The resort has no house reef, no coral whatsoever and little vegetation in the sea so very poor snorkelling at the resort . You literally could only see one or two fish from the beach when snorkelling . Water was chargeable even when paying for full board . Because we complained to EPA about feeding of stingray we got a less than warm goodbye

Customer service was amazing, everyone was extremely nice and helpful. The island is amazing. The prices for food are a little pricey but it is a resort. Book excursions early some fill up fast. I stayed in the water villa, absolutely beautiful, breathtaking views. I recommend the photoshoot as well, photos came out really nice.

The property was excellent. Food options were plentiful and I really enjoyed my stay.

The property isnt big so you have time to do things slowly and makes it more enjoyable. I highly recommend the Spa where the service is amazing and the Photographer who took some awesome pictures. The pictures was so good my wife and I ended up buying a photo package.

Staff were friendly , i was at Water Villa , stairs takes you in to the water’s to snorkel

This place is magical. Great service and very well run resort. Will definitely return

Excellent

Amazing stay with great staff

Excellent all around.

This is the second time we visited Velassaru, great stay and location, close to Male only 25-30 mins away by speed boat. It is a little place of paradise, especially if you are looking to get out of the city and disconnect. It is a small island but there is always something to do. The personal is very friendly, always with a smile on their faces, and helpful. In terms of food, we had a half-board option which provided a great variety of food options. The only little disappointment was one of the restaurants for lunch the food quality/taste has changed compared to 2018, it has decreased and that is a pity. But for the rest, create complimentary activities, we loved the live music performance and the DJ night

Excellent service, quality of food, and cleanliness.

Staff dedication, support and friendliness

Velassaru is about a 20-30 min boat ride from Mele. The boat they use is big, air conditioned and very comfortable so don't worry about being sea sick! The property is beautiful and immaculately maintained, it truly is a little piece of paradise. We stayed in the sunset side bungalows, #308 over the water, they are completely private with their own pool and a much needed breeze. We bought the full board package which included buffet breakfast, ala cart lunch and buffet dinner. All were delicious, we were very impressed. Our flight did not leave until 11pm at night so they very kindly let us stay in our room until 7pm, 12pm is their usual check out time. We arrived at 10pm unfortunately, due to the weather were unable to get to the hotel so they took us to their sister property close by. We were then taken the next day at 10:30am to Velassaru. We rode to the hotel with a group of travel agents who had been to Valassaru before, they said it was their favorite property in the Maldives.....I am beyond impressed with the property and would highly recommend it.

Friendly, helpful staff…beautiful sand and resort

Our stay at Velassaru was amazing. We spent 12 days on the island, and did not want to leave... The level of service and dedication of the staff are beyond the words. The hotel is ideal for family or romantic getaway. The island is very small and that makes it really quiet and peaceful. You can see Male as it is really close by, but on the other hand you don't need to spent extra hours for getting to the island. Highly recommend this hotel to all lovers of the tranquil holidays.

A stunning resort with great beaches and activities/ experiences. Especially the snorkeling trips. Service was impeccable from moment we arrived at the airport to the moment we go back into the airport

Really amazing resort

Our first visit to Velassaru was magical so we were gutted when our second visit had to be cancelled due to the pandemic lockdown. We finally managed to book and we're so glad we did because they have managed to keep that level of quality up there. Velassaru is a luxury resort which means its priced as such but your so spoiled with gorgeous beaches, excellent service and a range of different restaurant options to cater for most tastes. And of you don't find what you like, the chefs have no problem going off menu to accommodate your requirements. We're still in love with this place and will be going back. Highly recommended.

The team at Velassaru are incredible - so welcoming and attentive - they literally made the trip! The island and facilities are excellent - fantastic food options and overall a great place to spend time. Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed interacting with the staff - they showed such passion for their jobs and ensuring we had a marvelous stay. Already planning a trip back!
