Luxury holidays at Angsana Velavaru Maldives
Broad sandy beaches encircle this one-resort island, lapped by warm shallow waters abundant in marine life; it’s a haven for sunbathers and divers alike. Indeed, the resort is home to one of the best-preserved house reefs in the Maldives, making up to 30 magnificent dive spots available as a result. Lagoon-wide, there are 101 activities with something for everyone – there truly is no lagoon like it.
Velavaru also caters to romantics seeking that one special moment. Indulge in a proper pampering session at the award-winning Angsana Spa led by Banyan Tree Spa Academy.
