Veli Vilaa

We stayed at Veli Villa with a group of 9 friends, and we couldn't have picked a better accommodation option! From the moment we arrived we were picked up at the Jetty in a well maintained buggy and taken to the Villa shortly, where we were greeted at the door with a refreshing welcome drink and the lovely smiles of the amazing team here. In an instant, we were made to feel like Veli Villa was our home for the next two days. The rooms are beautifully designed and well serviced, with plenty of room to store your belongings, connected bathrooms which were super spacious with a big shower area - and the best part - direct access to our very own private beach backyard area, with hammocks, cocoon swings, benches and tables, a badminton / beach volley court area, outdoor dining / bbq area, and of course the beach! We even had snorkeling gear, canoes, volleyballs, and other fun equipment provided exclusively for us at no additional charge. There's plenty of shops and cafe's at walking distance to grab a few snacks or cold drinks if needed - we had a short stay and couldn't explore the island that much, but it's definitely a great area to walk around and see what the island has to offer. The common area with the wooden deck and beanbags was a great spot for us to relax in the evening, with speakers connected where we could play music and enjoy. There's a great little dining area in the common area where they would set up food, drinks, and shisha as well if requested. We went for the outdoor BBQ option and they set up a grill and cooked up the most amazing dinner for us in the evening (photo attached). The breakfast which was included with the Villa price was amazing value as well, with continental and local options in the buffet. I'd like to add that the team never leaves out of sight without saying "if you need anything else please just let us know", and this made us feel very comfortable and taken care of. The team here definitely goes above and beyond in terms of service - special thanks to Sujan, Saif, and Abdulla who were at our every beck and call and really made the experience easy and convenient. There's few guest houses that make you feel like you're in a 5 star resort, and this was one of them. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and the general atmosphere and service was great. Our only complaint - we wish we stayed longer, but that's on us! :)
