The adults-only half of the Anantara pair, mostly over-water villas, with the family resort's restaurants a pontoon ride away.
Veli is a small island in South Malé Atoll, 30 minutes by speedboat from the airport, and it is adults-only (18 and over). It shares a lagoon, and a one-minute pontoon, with Anantara Dhigu, so guests can dine and play across both islands while sleeping on the quiet one.
Most of the 67 villas are over the water, from simple Over Water Villas of 66 m² to Deluxe Over Water Pool Villas with a 6-metre infinity pool and a hammock over the lagoon. On the island there are Beach Pool Villas and cliff-edge Ocean Pool Villas with added privacy.
Origami (Japanese teppanyaki and sake), Cumin (Indian Ocean spices), Baan Huraa (Thai, over the lagoon) and the Dhoni Bar are on Veli; Dhigu adds Sea Fire Salt, Aqua and Fushi Café. Couples' spa journeys, yoga on the beach and a surf break nearby round it out.
Good to know
Rates include breakfast only. Dhigu families can come over for dinner bookings, so Veli's restaurants aren't entirely child-free in the evening; the entry Over Water Villas are fairly compact at 66 m².
