Our stay at the Waldorf Astoria Maldives resort for our honeymoon was really nice and we enjoyed every moment. Everything was really good. The staff is excellent but we have to give extra credit and a big thank you to our personal concierge Tanissa! She helped us with EVERYthing from start to check out. She was very kind and whenever we contaced her she was always available, no matter what time it was. She definitely made our stay so much better. Best romantica experience is definately ”Cinema under the stars” if you go, you have to try it 🥰 Loved this Place!

Wide range of delicious items in the menu and the staff were very helpful. The pool side restaurant was also good. They cleaned our room 2 times a day which was amazing. Overall an amazing experience to cherish.

If an island paradise of chic simplicity in a charming adults-only tropical setting is what you need, the white sand and azure waters of Anantara Veli Resort will provide the perfect setting. Relax with your loved one in the over water bungalows, as a spectacular plethora of sea life swims in the crystal clear lagoon beneath you. The resort is a short 35-minute speedboat journey from Velana International Airport which operates all day.

Our stay was absolutely incredible. We were greeted with the lovely reception at the pier after a very comfortable short trip via speedboat. We then enjoyed the brand new beautiful, spacious and quiet over-water villa with a wonderful sunset view and private pool. Ibrahim was our host during our stay - he was always available when we needed him and exceeded with everything we asked for! From helping us get to places, sorting restaurant reservations, to giving us tips for snorkeling spots and having answers to all our Maldives-related questions. The resort and facilities were perfect - all restaurants were amazing, especially Baan Huura and Origami. Roshan and Sony at Origami truly made our night special. For people that like activities, there is more than enough to chose from. We really can't wait to be back. All in all a perfect place to stay and relax and enjoy time away from a busy time at home.

Mind blown away How can a post give this resort the proper review it deserves, I truly wonder but I’ll give it a shot so here we go. This was probably my wife and I 6th vacation spent at luxury resort across the Far East /Indian Ocean area, even the Mediterranean and hands down this is by far the BEST most memorable vacation we’ve experienced so far and credit goes entirely to the brilliant service we’ve received. Not only were the facilities and water villa we stayed at impeccable and beautiful but gosh the service we’ve received, the warmth of the staff, the attention to details, the fantastic tasty meals we’ve had - not a single food item we’ve consumed was below fantastic-. The attention and hospitality we’ve received from the resort resident manager Mr. Fernando was truly unparalleled. So friendly, professional and courteous we’ve decided to come back in 4 weeks! Shout out to Amir from the Fushi Cafe who made us feel so welcomed. We look forward to his lovely chats and seeing him again soon. To all of those perfectionists looking to spend a relaxing holiday with unparalleled luxury service, this is your go to resort. Don’t hesitate.

    Staff were friendly, especially Agra in the restaurant. Nice beach area with shade umbrellas over some of the chairs. Great house reef to snorkel on, free snorkeling equipment provided by the dive shop worked well. Food was good and varied. Loved the overwater bungalow. The boat transfer from the airport worked well. Nice selection of alcoholic beverages as part of the all inclusive plan.

    Amazing resort and super friendly stuff (Receptionists, Butler and house keepers). Starting from the transfer, everything went smooth. The resort representatives were waiting for us in the airport and they have organised directly the transfer. Regarding the facilities, we had an amazing view from our Overwater Sunset Villa. The food was amazing even though we had "All inclusive" package, we had the opportunity to choose from "A la Carte menu". highly recommend !!!
