Velaa Private Island
Located in the Maldives, this 20 acre private island in northern Noonu Atoll offers the traveler in addition to sleeping, swimming, eating and relaxing….a nine hole golf course, squash and tennis courts, a miniature submarine, a water sports center, Champagne bar and a climbing wall.
If you can possibly tear yourself away from the beach, the resort’s restaurant features chef Adeline Grattard, from famed Michelin starred L’Astrance in Paris.
Desirous of a spa treatment? Velaa’s has a Clarins branded spa to further enhance your supreme relaxation experience.
With 18 water bungalows you certainly could isolate yourself from the world for a little while and believe you had discovered paradise!

A typical day at a Maldivian island resort might consist of some eating, some swimming, a nap, and maybe a massage. But at Velaa Private Island (www.velaaprivateisland.com; available through Linara Travel, www.linaratravel.com), guests may find they have little time for lounging. Opened in December, the 20-acre island in the northern Noonu Atoll is home to a nine-hole golf course and a golf academy, squash and tennis courts, a miniature submarine, a Champagne bar, a water-sports center, and a climbing wall. The resort’s dining experiences adhere to the more-is-more ethos, with an overwater restaurant helmed by the French chef Adeline Grattard (of Paris’s Michelin-starred L’Astrance) and a 37-foot tower housing the Maldives’ largest wine collection. Velaa’s Clarins-branded spa and 18 overwater bungalows are equally over the top, though they remain perfectly suited to a low-key day of lounging in the Maldives.
