Soft White Sand, Crystal-Clear Seas

NIVA Velassaru Maldives is a contemporary luxury resort set on a private island in the South Malé Atoll, just a 25-minute speedboat transfer from Malé International Airport. Its appeal lies in its balance of relaxed island living and refined design, offering an accessible yet polished Maldivian escape without the formality of larger, more complex resorts. The island is known for its soft white sands, clear lagoon and sunset-facing views, with all accommodation arranged as beachfront villas or overwater bungalows. Dining is a central part of the experience, with five restaurants and two bars providing a broad yet manageable choice, from casual beachfront meals to more intimate evening settings.

NIVA Velassaru is best suited to couples and adults who value atmosphere, ease and design over scale. It’s a resort that feels calm and confident, ideal for guests who want a stylish Maldives stay with everything close at hand.
