Velavaru Holidays

The room was very large, well appointed and very comfortable! The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable as well! The staff member in charge of our room, Ramesh, went above and beyond all of our expectations! He was such a great person and brightened our day when we interacted with him! My birthday surprises (and there were many), told of his care and concern for a wonderful experience!

To say that Kagi island resort and Spa felt likea piece of Paradise on earth is an understatement! Beautiful Landscaping with lush vegetation set in the middle of turquoise, aquamarine and sapphire waters of the Maldives, the island is a visual feast. The underwater scenery is equally stunning with the healthiest coral reefs I have encountered with tropical fish of every color and shape! Yes, the currents can be a bit strong, but that's what keeps the Reefs healthy by bringing in nutrients, removing wastes and dispersing eggs etc. If you are not a confident swimmer, I highly recommend booking a guided house reef snorkeling session. MSTS divers were so helpful, and gave my parents a truly spectacular guided house reef tour by 'Imaan' where they held on to a life buoy ring, maneuvered by him. Special thanks to Ahmed also, for the snorkeling lesson and the rest of the dive team for awesome Manta experience (where we ended up seeing more nurse sharks and stunning shoals of fish). Nurse Shark experience with Rimaz was also amazing, where we also ended up seeing Eagle rays! The Villas are truly amazing and very well equipped. We were celebrating

Very friendly and hospitable staff, amazing spa and water sports centre

Absolutely fantastic stay- we were met at Male airport and looked after to our flight to Ifuru Island which is outstanding. All the staff looked after us with extreme courtesy and were extremely welcoming. Everywhere was very clean and cared for and the food very variable and to a high standard. Snorkelling was amazing we saw fish/stingrays/reef sharks/turtles/ resident heron. On our return we were met again at Male airport and looked after and helped to check in for our flight home. Cannot recommend this Island strongly enough ! ALL the staff were very dedicated and very hard working and so sorry can’t remember everyone’s names but very much felt a warm/friendly/family atmosphere. Shout out to: Monika, Tharaka, Sara, Diva, Donni, manager of waterfront(sorry don’t know name), Shiyaau, Basse, Pradeeb, Shiva, Raazan, Juli, Ahmed, Fraish (sorry if spelt wrong - captain of Komomo) thank you to everyone for a very special holiday

I had such an amazing stay at Nala by Jawakara Maldives for my birthday trip. The location was absolutely stunning, crystal clear water, beautiful beaches, and the perfect peaceful island atmosphere. The resort itself feels very relaxing, luxurious, and private, especially during sunset. A special thank you to my butler, Mr. Jumaan, for being incredibly helpful and attentive throughout my stay. He went above and beyond in assisting me with everything and always made sure I was comfortable and well taken care of. His kindness, professionalism, and warm hospitality truly made my birthday vacation even more special and memorable. I genuinely appreciate all the effort and excellent service he provided during my time at the resort. The room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed. Everything was well maintained and housekeeping did a great job throughout the stay. I also loved how calm and quiet the environment was, making it easy to truly unwind and enjoy the Maldives experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful from arrival until departure. Their service made the trip feel extra special and memorable. The amenities were also great, with plenty of activities and beautiful spots around the resort to enjoy. In terms of value, I genuinely feel the experience was worth it for such a memorable birthday vacation. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I would definitely love to come back again.
