The Resort

Angsana Velavaru

Dhaalu Atoll

Angsana Velavaru — known as "Turtle Island" in the local Dhivehi language — is perched on an expansive private lagoon in the virtually untouched South Nilandhe Atoll in the Maldives, just 40 minutes by seaplane from Velana International Airport. The resort features 113 villas across two distinctive categories: beachfront island villas with pristine beach access, and signature InOcean Villas perched on stilts above crystal-clear waters with expansive infinity pools and double-storey rooftop terraces. Three All-Inclusive Packages are designed for different types of holidaymakers — from gourmet foodies and families to spa lovers and divers. With 30+ dive sites, a PADI Gold Palm 5-Star Dive Centre, award-winning Angsana Spa with 8 outdoor pavilions, Terra Kids Club and three distinctive restaurants, Angsana Velavaru offers the ultimate Maldivian island escape.
