Velaa Private Island

Located just 120 miles north of Malé in Noonu Atoll, Velaa Private Island is a secluded, ultra-luxurious retreat that offers an unmatched level of privacy and elegance. Often hailed as the Maldives’ finest destination, this exclusive sanctuary is a true escape from the everyday, where luxury is redefined and nature’s beauty takes center stage. The island is lovingly known as "Turtle Island," a tribute to the sea turtles that find refuge along its pristine shores. Its unique design is inspired by the shape of a turtle, with the island’s nearly 50-acre landmass representing its body, while the overwater villas are designed to mimic the turtle’s head.
