Nilandhoo Atoll - The Nilandhoo Atoll page gives extended details of the background to atolls, where to stay and links to the Vilu Reef Beach and Velavaru Island resorts at Nilandhoo Atoll.
The Velavaru Island resort page features the facilities at the Maldive Velavaru Island resort with accommodation details and access to online prices and bookings.
Velavaru which opened in December 1998, is an averaged sized island by Maldivian standards and is approximately 500m in
length by 200 m wide, is the second resort in the atoll.
The buildings at the Velavaru Island resort blend in with the thick local vegetation and coconut palms creating the relaxed environment
of the Maldives. Tourism is very new to the atoll providing you with an excellent opportunity to dive at breathtaking
sites where the human disturbance is almost negligible. The diving at Velavaru is an exciting experience.
Velavaru, with its wide sandy beach bordered by the shimmering turquoise lagoon could be the tropical island just for you.
Stretched around the Velavaru Island Resort a few meters away from the beach are 66 semi-detached and 18 individual bungalows designed, they claim,
to complement nature's harmony.
The rooms are apparently elegantly furnished with twin or double beds and are all air conditioned with mini bar and IDD telephone
services.
They claim that the decor inside gives a light and airy atmosphere reflecting the Maldivian simplicity. The glass
paneled windows and
the wooden door opening to the timber deck in front, will they claim, provide you with a view of the beach, the lagoon beyond and the
comforting music from the waves lapping the beach soothes you to a relaxing state ... wow
The Restaurant and Bar in Velavaru Island Resort is apparently designed in the outstanding Maldivian style to create a relaxed and comforting
atmosphere. Restaurant and Bar ideally located close to each other, a few meters from the beach and the turquoise lagoon
complements the local charm and the warmth of the people.
Velavaru offers a
variety of non-motorized water sports, a selection of land sports, in addition to the several dive courses, snorkeling
and fishing and sightseeing excursions.
