A stay at Velaa Private Island feels like stepping into another world ,a secluded paradise of crystalline waters, pristine white sands, and unparalleled luxury. Nestled in the Noonu Atoll, 116 miles north of Malé, this ultra-exclusive retreat was born from the passion of Czech couple Jirí and Radka Smejc, with visionary architect Petr Kolar bringing their dream to life using the finest materials, Bornean wood, Jordanian stone, and handcrafted Italian furnishings.

More than just a tropical escape, Velaa is designed to feel like your own private island. Lounge by the infinity pool, practice alfresco yoga, or set sail on a luxury cruise aboard the resort’s private fleet.
