10/10 Excellent
"Five stars is not enough, This was a little bit of paradise, I wish I could have had more Time Here! The staff are super friendly - from The airport greet staff, the boat team, waiting staff and the team that showed us around when we arrived - many thanks Mayiz. The resort is just a quick 10 minute speedboat ride from The airport and everything is divine - we stopped in a beachfront villa which is superbly equipped with its own private little pool, well worth the extra. The water is lovely, sand is beautiful and we captured some Great pictures and many happy memories. The catering choices were vast - but you can easily blow your budget on extras here! A wonderful Time here, somewhere I hope I can come Back to soon."

Frequently asked questions

When is the most affordable time to visit Velassaru?
The most affordable time to visit Velassaru is typically during the low season, which runs from May to October. During these months, the Maldives experiences its monsoon season, which means there's a higher chance of rain and occasional storms. This weather deters some travellers, leading to lower demand and subsequently reduced prices for accommodation and flights.

Solo travellers looking for a tranquil escape might find this period particularly appealing. While there might be some rain, it often comes in short, intense bursts, leaving plenty of sunshine to enjoy the island's beauty. You'll likely find fewer crowds, allowing for a more serene experience, and many resorts offer attractive packages during this time to entice visitors.
How much does a budget hotel in Velassaru cost?
Budget hotel prices in Velassaru vary, but you can find a great deal from £46 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates.
