We had the most amazing time at this resort and from the moment we were met at the airport by resort staff until departing we were well taken care of. The seaplane flight was a great way to arrive and the views were spectacular. Staff are the most attentive whilst allowing you time to enjoy your drink and food without fuss. The resort is beautiful and we stayed in a beach villa with infinity pool and access to a magical white sandy beach. The food was of a very high standard with plenty of choices every day. Sunil and Appa and their colleagues looked after us so well. We celebrated our wedding anniversary during our stay and they arranged a special table for our evening meal as well as decorating our bed with the most beautiful flower arrangement. Before dinner we went in a sunset cruise which was a romantic way to end the day with a glass of fizz whilst seeing loads of dolphins around the boat. This was a true paradise and thanks for everyone for making our stay so special. Read less

We had fantastic experience thanks to Jan and his superb team. From the moment we arrived everything went so smoothly and nothing was ever a problem. In particular Alina on reception, Appa and the most amazing Laila in the restaurant who took care of us every day.

Our first time to the Maldives from the US was most memorable and spectacular. My husband and I visited with our 2 young adult kids for 8 nights where we stayed 4 nights in the beach front pool villas (2 villas) and 4 nights in the Sunset side In-Ocean pool villas (2 villas). We chose the all inclusive package which I would highly recommend! The professionalism and attentiveness we experienced was from the time I booked directly with the resort with Jay and Hazel to the time we departed with a friendly bid goodbye from Jan, the Resort Manager and his welcome and reception staff of Noor, Eli and Alina. When we arrived at Male Airport we were greeted by Himdha who helped escorted us to the Seaplane terminal and we saw him again on our day of departure. It was nice to see a familiar face when we left. Our vacation was fun, enjoyable and fabulous. The housekeeper in our Beach Villas was Ali and Wahib in our In-Ocean Villas and they did a great job with our laundry and cleaning our villas. The choice of dining was great in that the food varied daily and is delicious. The wait staff were friendly and personable! We want to thank Abba, one of head waiter for having a special and beautifully decorated table for our last night of dining and always greeting us, Atzal, supervising waiter, Imthiyaz, waiter and Laila, waitress for always remembering our favorite beverages and updating us of the specials for each meal. Lastly, Rohlm, omelette and specialty chef for greeting us with a smile daily and remembering the type of eggs we like. There are other friendly and wonderful waiters and chefs which I also want to thank. Our kids want to thank Yvonne, water sports specialist and Ahmed, dive master for their amazing dives! Our kids also had fun jet skiing and snorkeling. Angsana Velavaru is surely an amazing and wonderful destination if you’re looking for great water sports, relaxation, and just being pampered where you can go from your private pool to jumping into the ocean to snorkel and then drying and sunning in your private deck and back into your air conditioned room to cool off while still enjoying the ocean view!!! The In-Ocean Villa is the best with its modern contemporary design. We’ve been to many top destinations in the world and this experience is top on our list! We look forward to returning in the future and will highly recommend this resort to our family and friends! Banyan Group is lucky to have such a great group of personable and professional staff at Angsana Velavaru. . Thank you for a Magical and Pampered Vacation! FIVE STAR experience! Read less

We had a family vacation with two children (3 and 7 years old). We traveled to the Maldives for the first time. We really liked the hotel. We stayed at the Infinity pool 139. It was incredibly beautiful. We were lucky with the weather. Every day we went snorkeling on a boat, which lasted 40 minutes. My husband and I swam in turns for 20 minutes. The children waited on the boat during this time. We saw turtles and reef sharks. The food in the a la carte restaurant was amazing. We really liked the over-water Thai restaurant. There also was another restaurant that had barbecue buffet on Mondays, we ate some excellent steaks. But most of all, the staff did their best to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We found ourselves in a difficult situation, since our luggage was not delivered on time due to the fault of the airline. And it was delivered only on the 6th day of the vacation. Many thanks to the staff who helped us, supported us morally and were genuinely happy for us when the luggage was finally delivered. A huge thank you to the executive assistant manager Jan Lorenzen who's very kind and professional. I would also like to thank the head waiter Ajmal, administrators Eli and Alina, waiter Shamaan, cook Valla, cleaner Nasru. Thanks to these people, our stay at Angsana Velavaru was amazing! With love Ivan, Evgeniia, Iana and Konstantin. Read less
