For those seeking an Eid holiday retreat that transcends the ordinary, Velaa Private Island emerges as the quintessential choice. It is a place where luxury is not just experienced but felt through every detail, from the design of its residences to the curated art pieces that adorn its spaces.
In the heart of the Noonu Atoll, Maldives, lies Velaa Private Island, an enclave so serene and singularly beautiful that it seems to have been conjured from the very essence of luxury. Its ethos is rooted in the vision of a couple who dreamt of a sanctuary that harmonizes flawlessly with its pristine natural surroundings.
Designed by Petr Kolar and inspired by the Maldivian culture intertwined with contemporary luxury, Velaa takes its name from the generations of sea turtles that have made the island their home.
Velaa Private Island is accessible by a 45-minute scenic seaplane voyage from Male International Airport. Each aspect of Velaa is designed with an intimate understanding of luxury, privacy, and comfort, creating an environment where guests can experience the pinnacle of opulent living.
The island’s crown jewel, the Nika Private Residence, designed by the acclaimed Patricia Urquiola, represents the zenith of beachside sophistication. Its interiors, a harmonious blend of natural materials and contemporary design, reflect a palette inspired by the earth and sea.
Here, large bedrooms with terraces offer undisturbed views of the Indian Ocean, while bathrooms with ocean vistas or private patios provide sanctuaries of relaxation.
Beyond its breathtaking accommodations, Velaa’s commitment to exceptional experiences extends to its culinary offerings. Aragu pairs refined East-meets-West gastronomy with an impressive wine selection. Tavaru, known for its vibrant Teppanyaki and expansive cellar, invite guests on unforgettable gastronomic journeys.
Meanwhile, the wellbeing village, centred around the holistic Eveylaa Spa, provides a comprehensive approach to health and wellness, offering everything from Ayurvedic treatments to bespoke nutrition plans.
Velaa has also embraced the world of art, inaugurating its own Velaa Art Gallery. This initiative, showcasing a collection meticulously crafted by celebrated glass artists, reflects the island’s dedication to cultural enrichment and the celebration of craftsmanship. Each piece, commissioned specifically for Velaa, encapsulates the essence of the island’s natural beauty and tranquil spirit.
Amidst the tranquil beauty of the Maldives, Velaa Private Island invites guests to indulge in an escape that celebrates the art of living well, making Velaa not just a destination, but a journey into the essence of luxury itself.
