Our stay at Angsana Velavaru was magical. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome with warm smiles and excellent hospitality. The resort offers two distinct experiences — the beach villas on the island and the exclusive InOcean Villas set above the turquoise waters of Indian ocean — and we were fortunate to experience both. The InOcean Villa was an absolute dream. Waking up to panoramic ocean views and lounging by our private infinity pool. The villa was spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly private. Kids enjoyed the 2 storey villas. We experienced the island lifenat the deluxe beach villa with direct beach access and lush greenery. The all-inclusive dining options were impressive — from local Maldivian flavors to international cuisine, everything was fresh and flavorful (Vegetarian friendly). They had a special Vegetarian menu and Indian menu. Special mention to the staff at Kaani Restaurant for their attentive service. Every member of the housekeeping staff and restaurant staff went out of their way to make our stay memorable It was an unforgettable experience for our family. Read less
