The popular Anantara Veli Resort, located in the beautiful island nation of the Maldives, is saying hello to a new program that gives those with a passion for the Maldives a reason to visit over and over again in a year's time. Their new yearly pass includes unlimited access to an overwater villa and the rest of the resort for a full year. Though the package itself isn't cheap at $30,000 US dollars, if you are planning on visiting the Maldives a few times next year, you could save a nice chunk of change by going this route.

This package includes use of a two person overwater villa as well as various discounts and add-ons that include scuba diving, snorkeling, cooking lessons and treatments at the resort's spa.

Overwater villa features and amenties

The villas at this resort are impressive at every turn, with luxuries including 24 hour room service, a minibar, a private deck with a daybed, an entertainment center, and more. All of these amenities can be found at each and every one of the resort’s 50 overwater villas, all of which offer guests beautiful views of the ocean.

 

You’ll also find yourself privy to a few extras here and there in each room. These range from a sofa, a minibar, and an espresso machine alongside a coffee and tea making station. Because of what each overwater villa offers, you’ll find it hard to leave the privacy and comfort of this ocean oasis.


Features found around the resort

As you look through pictures of the resort, you’ll find that there’s a lot going on, but in a very good way. You won’t find yourself overwhelmed here, but you will find yourself amazed by the options granted during your island stay, both on the island itself and offshore. Ocean activities here include a sunset landline fishing excursion, a sunset cruise, scuba diving, snorkeling, and surfing. You’ll also find speedboats and jet skis available for a fun afternoon filled with a little speed.

 

Back on land you’ll find a spa that offers a large variety of treatments and massages, a boutique for a little shopping, a library, morning meditation sessions, a fitness area with weights and machines, yoga, tennis, volleyball, badminton, and a cooking school where you’ll learn how to make local dishes. There are also several restaurants and bars to choose from right on-site, but if you rather eat and drink in the comfort of your private villa, remember, you’ll find 24 hour room service here.

  1. I’m wanting book a overwater (for a couple) from Honolulu for 2 nights in November 2022.
    What is the instruction ? Could I contact you privately ?

    1. Martine,

      We are simply an online guide to overwater resorts around the world and we don’t do bookings. We have links to the best source to book each resort on each of the pages. Best of luck! -Roger

  2. I’m wanting to take my family to a vacation in a bungalow..over water.

    1. Hank,

      Unfortunately there are no overwater bungalows that can accommodate 8 people. Most of them are built for 2 or 3 people and even the rare resorts with 2-bedroom units charge a fortune for those. You are best off looking for 3 separate normal overwater bungalows for your group. -Roger

    1. Katherine,

      I cover most of this in my article on when to go to the Maldives. The short version is that there are pros and cons to any time of the year. It’s really only late May through early July when you might get hours of rain at a time. The rest of the year the rain tends to come quickly and usually end in 20 minutes or less. I think most people actually prefer to go to the Maldives when the weather is worst where they live, because it’s always warm and pleasant in the Maldives. -Roger

  3. I’m just in the beginning stages of planning an anniversary vacation for around Sept if next year so I know it’s to early to book but wanted to know where I should be looking for the best rates on fights from atlanta Georgia. We want an over water bungalow all inclusive or mostly all inclusive lunch and dinner with drinks/alcohol included. And a few activities. If you know of 2 or 3 options that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you..

    1. April,

      There are a few very expensive all-inclusive overwater bungalow resorts in the Caribbean, but none in Bora Bora or anywhere else in the South Pacific. If you really want all-inclusive then the Maldives is your best bet as they have about 25 resorts there that are all inclusive or offer all-inclusive options. You’ll probably get the cheapest flights from Atlanta to the Maldives about 5 months out. And you’ll usually get the best rates at a resort from 3 to 6 months out. Have a great trip. -Roger

    1. M,

      I get this question a lot and it always surprises me. I wish I could help, but we are an online guide to overwater hotels and we have nothing to do with construction of them. You might consider contacting construction firms in the Maldives, since most of the world’s overwater resorts are there and they keep building new ones. -Roger
