Velaa Private Island
It Began With A Dream
Overview
A secluded Maldivian island that impressively accommodates 45 villas, nine golf tees, and the most extensive wine and Champagne collection in the Maldives.
Velaa Private Island stands as one of the most exclusive resorts globally. Established out of a deep passion for the Maldives, this privately owned retreat was created by Czech entrepreneurs Radka and Jiří Šmejc, who aspired to develop the world's most luxurious private island resort, doubling as their personal sanctuary. This dream became a reality, offering a tropical escape that feels like your own island home, featuring some of the world's most opulent resort villas, exceptional dining options, and a diverse range of top-tier facilities and experiences.
Velaa Private Island is nestled in Noonu Atoll, a stunning cluster of islands in the northern Maldives. The atoll is encircled by a vibrant coral reef, providing natural protection and supporting a rich diversity of marine life. Guests can reach the island via a 45-minute seaplane flight from Malé, which can be arranged on Velaa’s private plane, or a 35-minute boat ride from Maafaru International Airport.
