Villa living at its most luxurious on a private coral island surrounded by a glistening turquoise sea. Velassaru is a beautifully secluded resort where stylish, minimalist villas hover over the lagoon or look out over an astonishingly white powdery beach.
Seductive, intimate and truly romantic, the villas and suites are your personal hideaway, designed with a contemporary, cutting-edge style that blends perfectly with the natural beauty of the island. Stay in a water villa and wake up to the sound of the gentle lapping of the waves and views of the most stunning sunrise.
Go diving to experience the amazing underwater kaleidoscope of colours and tropical fish. Tired after a day of adventure, head to the spa for a revitalising treatment, followed by dinner under the stars at Vilunoo Grill or Etesian Mediterranean restaurant, surrounded by lush tropical greenery.
