Barefoot luxury takes on new meaning on the idyllic private island of Velaa in the Maldives. Bathed by azure skies and cobalt seas, this unique and secluded island getaway embodies the very best of this beautiful archipelago. Epitomizing luxurious island-style living, eight spectacular villas have been individually handcrafted to create an intimate and exclusive experience. Designed to blend seamlessly with the lush surrounding landscapes of jungle, sand and sea, sun-bleached wood, sculptured stone and delicate oceanic details echo a distinct Maldivian flavor. No less than five award-winning restaurants can be found around the island, serving gourmet, seasonal delights in spectacular settings. Have lunch at Aragu which serves Michelin-star cuisine as you float above the ocean, or sip sublime cocktails with your feet in the water at the stunning poolside Avi. Head to the exclusive spa for a day of pampering or enjoy an array of watersports, such as diving, snorkeling, sailing or fishing, while your kids are taken care of the exclusive Kid’s Club at Velaa Private Island. Practice your golf swing in paradise at the championship Golf Academy on the island.
