Simply Abu Dhabi XXII

Island for all the senses Founded on the vision of a “beyond luxury” hideaway, Velaa Private Island is truly an ultimate escape, a destination unto itself, with equal parts contemporary wow-factor, secluded natural beauty and state-of-the-art facilities. Choose between a beach-front villa or a floating villa stretched out across the ocean, each with their own private pools and terraces. Though Velaa Private Island is tucked away in the Maldives, there are countless things to do right there at the resort. Indulge in a therapy at the spa, including a snow room and Cloud 9 pod, take up water sports, or conquer the climbing wall. Re-energize with a beach side meditation session, or relax in the library, or sip from the highly curated wine selection available in the tower that is Velaa’s wine cellar. Velaa’s kids club, with the biggest aqua park on Maldives, makes this secluded island a Wonderland for children. Take a tour of the pristine Indian Ocean with Velaa’s own miniature submarine, or improve your golf strokes at the only golf academy in the Maldives designed by Jose Maria Olazabal.
