With each and every Maldives over water villa resort located on its own private island, it's a rare case when guests can combine that kind of privacy with the conveniences of a second island a very short ride away. The Anantara Veli Resort & Spa is just such a place. It's small and secluded with only 50 water villas and no island rooms, but it's a very short boat ride to its sister resort where more restaurants and activities are waiting for all guests.
Among the other fantastic features of the Anantara Veli Resort & Spa is that it's quite affordable and also relatively near the main Maldives airport, so guests can check in quickly after their long-haul flight lands and without the added time and expense of another sea plane flight. Those in a real hurry actually can get a sea-plane to the Veli Resort, so again it's the best of all worlds.
Many say Maldives is only for honeymooners, do you think it can be a good place for birthday celebrations?any exciting activities or suggestions?. thank you.
Marolyne,
It’s true that the Maldives is very popular with honeymoon couples, but I think most of the guests are people who come back every year or every few years. It’s a very addicting place. You definitely wouldn’t be the only ones celebrating a birthday.
The larger resorts tend to have more options for activities, although honestly most people (especially those who have been before) seem to be happy to relax during the day and party a bit at night. There are boat excursions daily at most resorts, and those can be fun. And there is pretty decent snorkeling below the water villas at most places, although that comes and goes with the tides. -Roger
