About Velana Beach Hotel Maldives

Velana Beach Hotel Maldives is a beachfront guesthouse on the inhabited local island of Maafushi in South Malé Atoll, roughly 27 kilometres south of the capital and reachable from Velana International Airport by speedboat in about 30 minutes or by public ferry. The property opened in 2015 and operates within Maafushi's guesthouse sector, which exists on designated local islands under Maldivian regulations permitting tourism on inhabited islands. Room counts listed across booking platforms range from around 18 to 28, with configurations that include sea-view and city-view categories alongside family and deluxe rooms. Standard amenities across the rooms include air conditioning, flat-screen televisions, tea and coffee facilities, in-room safes, mini fridges, bottled water, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Public areas include a rooftop terrace with views across the lagoon and the on-site Kaalamaa restaurant, which serves an international menu from breakfast through dinner. The hotel sits close to Maafushi's Bikini Beach, the village's tourist beach area where swimwear is permitted, and bicycles can be hired to reach other points on the island. Activities offered through local operators include snorkelling excursions, guided dive trips, fishing, sandbank visits, and boat outings to uninhabited islands and nearby resorts for day use.
