Velaa Private Island

The island

An owner's passion project with a José María Olazábal golf academy and faultless private service.

Velaa is a deeply personal, ultra-exclusive hideaway built without compromise. It is home to the Maldives' only dedicated golf academy designed by José María Olazábal, a snow room and hydro-spa, and some of the most architecturally distinctive villas in the country. Limited keys and a fiercely private ethos make it a favourite for travellers who value space, sport and absolute discretion.
