Velaa Private Island

Hotel on a private island in the Maldives

A luxurious hotel on a private island that embodies everything that is great about the archipelago. Its owner Jiri Smejc spent many holidays in the Maldives, which inspired him to create his own hotel. The hotel was designed by Czech architect Peter Kolar. He used local materials for its construction, and its decor and architecture refer to the surrounding nature. The buildings and villas on Velaa Island are arranged in such a way that from a bird's eye view they resemble the shape of a turtle. Luxurious villas are equipped with beautiful furniture, and guests can relax in the swimming pools.

Aragu restaurant in the Maldives

Among several places worth mentioning is Aragu, a gourmet restaurant where culinary works of art are created from organic products. This is supervised by the famous chef Gaushan De Silva. There are over 500 cases in the wine cellar and it is the largest collection in the Maldives. Velaa Private Island boasts such rarities as Romanée Conti from its own vineyard, 1956 vintage and 1870 Blandy's Verdelho Solera. During your stay on the island, it is worth going on a cruise on the Weta trimaran or Topcat K1 catamaran, as well as visiting diving sites located only 15 minutes from the shore of the island. Fishing fans can sail out to the ocean in a boat equipped with the latest fishing equipment. The resort also has a 6-meter climbing wall. The spa offers yoga and meditation sessions on a platform with beautiful views of the lush gardens and golf course. Inner harmony is achieved through a set of exercises, attitudes and techniques.
