Angsana Velavaru

We have been on yet another dream trip to the Maldives, and this time it took us to Angsana Velavaru.

And wow, what a place – a true Maldivian paradise. We stayed 12 nights – and that was just the right length for us.

We had booked a beach villa for the whole holiday, but actually ended up spending 3 nights in a water villa – and trying both was absolutely the best decision.

Angsana Velavaru is steeped in the island life you dream of. Beautiful white sandy beaches, turquoise sea, coral reefs, cosy villas, good food and the sweetest staff imaginable.We were sold from the moment we stepped ashore, and we will 100% be going back to Angsana Velavaru.

The island has 4 restaurants – one is out by the water villas, the others are on the island itself.

There is also a spa/massage area and a small shop with souvenirs, sun cream and toiletries.

The island has a medical centre, which I found very reassuring to know – though luckily we never needed it.

There was also a neat little fire station – it really was all very well thought through.
