Velaa Private Island - Ultra-Exclusive Private Island in the Maldives

Surrounded by turquoise waters, Velaa is an ultra-exclusive private island located 116 miles north of the capital city of Male in the Maldives. A stay here is like escaping to another world, with endless opportunities to fully relax and enjoy a wide variety of ocean and beach activities. 

A passion project of Czech couple Jirí and Radka Smejc, Velaa is a beautiful tropical retreat that was brought to life by architect Petr Kolar. The island features an array of luxury materials from around the world, including wood from Borneo, artisan patio furniture from Italy and stone from Jordan.

Upon your arrival on Velaa, you’ll be treated as though the island is your own private paradise, whether you want to sunbathe by the pool, enjoy a yoga session or charter a cruise with the resort’s own fleet. At less than a mile in length, Velaa is home to 47 self-sufficient villas and residences, all complete with their own pools, day beds, elaborate outdoor living areas and ocean access. You will have no need to leave your heavenly hideaway.
