Why We Recommend It
Velaa Private Island is the most private and exclusive resort IMJ partners with that does not require a full buyout. The island is small, the service is intensely personalised, and the overall atmosphere is closer to a private house than a resort. IMJ recommends it for guests who find all other Maldives resorts too public.
Consider Before Booking
Velaa's exclusivity means availability can be limited at peak periods. IMJ begins the booking process early and monitors cancellations for preferred dates.
IMJ Insider Note
Velaa has a private golf academy with a professional coach. For golf-playing guests, combining a round on the floating practice green with the reef experience is uniquely Velaa.
