Giulia Kastro
We stayed at the Ocean Villa at the end of February. After two days of traveling, we finally arrived at the resort. We were welcomed with a drink, coconut sweets, and a type of dried fish. We arrived around noon, but check-in was only at 2 p.m. We were exhausted and hungry. When we asked if we could have lunch after check-in, the lady who assisted us said we wouldn’t be entitled to it — we were quite upset by that response. Later, it became clear that if we had lunch on arrival, we wouldn’t be entitled to lunch on the day of checkout — their policy. Our package was all-inclusive.
So, if you’re coming from far away, be prepared — the resort won’t provide even a simple sandwich unless you pay for it. We even spoke with the “manager” because we found the first explanation confusing and didn’t quite understand it. In the end, this situation caused some discomfort upon arrival, and considering the price charged, the resort could be a bit more flexible with its guests — even if it was just by offering some snacks in the room since lunch wasn’t included.
Aside from that, the service at the bars and restaurants was very good. The sea was fantastic, the private pool was very clean, and the room service was excellent. There’s no concierge, but the reception staff always asked about our stay and how things were going. We booked a few activities, but unfortunately, it rained on those days, so we ended up enjoying the sea and the pool more.
We managed to book a spa appointment, and it was incredible — the therapists were excellent professionals, and the service was impeccable.

Very amazing service, the staff is amazing, very kind and caring. The room was amazing and the room cleaner does a fantastic job! The food is amazing, very well prepared and served. The water was amazing, the beach and water activities were amazing! Everything is so well prepared and managed! Definitely an experience i would recommend to everyone! Coming back again, for sure!

Our stay at Angsana Velavaru was nothing short of magical, and leaving was truly heartbreaking. From the moment we arrived by seaplane, we knew we were in for something special—the aerial views were breathtaking, setting the perfect tone for our incredible trip.
We stayed in a Deluxe In-Ocean Pool Villa, and it was simply insane—the private pool, the stunning views, and the sheer luxury of being surrounded by the clearest ocean we’ve ever seen. Swimming with tropical fish right outside our villa felt like a dream come true. The sunsets were the best we have ever seen in our life.
The Azzurro restaurant was outstanding, with Ajija, Fayaz & Jiyaz making our dining experience unforgettable. Every meal was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented—my personal favorite was the reef fish. And the bar at Azzurro was just as impressive, especially thanks to Charith, who made the best Margarita I’ve ever had. He was so friendly and personable — he’s truly a real asset to the resort.
The level of service across the entire resort was exceptional. The housekeeping team went above and beyond—not only did they keep our villa spotless every day, but they also surprised us by decorating our bed for my husband’s birthday after noticing some birthday cards in our room. We hadn’t mentioned it to anyone, so this thoughtful gesture meant the world to us!
We also enjoyed some truly unique dining experiences. The beach BBQ was unforgettable, with so much delicious food. And the floating breakfast was absolutely brilliant.
Even on the day of our departure, the staff went above and beyond. Our flight back to Heathrow was at 11:40 AM, meaning we had to leave the resort before breakfast even started. But the team pulled together a whole itinerary for us, and the buffet was opened early—something I’ve never experienced before. It was just another example of how the staff truly go the extra mile to make every moment perfect.
We also had the most incredible massages over on the main island—mine was a head and shoulders massage, and my husband had the Javanese massage. Both were hands down the best massages we’ve ever had.
This holiday was so incredible that we extended our stay by an extra night because we simply couldn’t bear to leave.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Angsana Velavaru—without the amazing staff, this place wouldn’t be the same. This was our first time in the Maldives and you made our trip truly unforgettable. We can’t wait to return and will be recommending to everyone we know!

One of the best experiences in my life. The staff was exceptional, extremely helpful and polite and all day with a smile on their face. Facilities were super clean and IRL more beautiful than the pictures on their website. Try all the diving excursions it is really worth it.
