Velaa Private Island

An absolute place of utter luxury and wonderful attentive staff across the entire Island resulting in an amazing vacation

Beautiful island but definitely not a 5 star hotel. AC in rooms didn’t work. Called 5 times and they were unable to fix the issue. Explained AC was an issue though out the property. Highly under staffed and food was average at best. Pools were dirty and water was incredibly hot. Apparently the chiller was an issue with the pool too. If you’re looking for a cheap option this is good but you get what you pay for.

It was our 3rd year anniversary and we had the best time ever…first of all on arrival..we got the WARMEST welcome from Mary our hostess…she’s very kind, friendly and pays attention to details… she made us very comfortable However, on the massage sector, my wife had the WORST experience with Margaret…she didn’t pay attention to the areas requested and after complaining my wife left there in pain and sore…she wasn’t as friendly so I wouldn’t recommend her… the waiters on the other hand are really kind and nice.. The rooms aren’t properly cleaned..the hygiene is not the best and you can tell its overtime poor maintenance…stains on the white tiles here and there and green mould around the shower corners… we stayed at the water villa with a pool Other than that, the food is 10/10 … the experience was amazing…enjoyed the sunset fishing, feeding and touching the stingrays and seeing baby sharks from our villa..it was surreal.. If you like to have fun, i’d recommend checking in on a Thursday as they always have DJ night and Rachana makes the BEST sheesha…and don’t forget to ask for Mary for a splendid experience. The place was definitely worth it, we’d definitely recommend
