This coming July, the Angsana Velavaru, located in the pristine
South Nilandhe Atoll of the Maldives, is to open a standalone
collection of water villas. This
exclusive cluster of 34 InOcean Villas, together with a dedicated
Italian restaurant and bar, is located one kilometre away from the
island of Velavaru. The “floating resort” is perched in the middle of
the Indian Ocean, creating a unique castaway experience where guests
never need to venture far from their retreat to enjoy the Maldives.
Introductory rates start from US$ 750++ per night per villa, inclusive
of daily breakfast for two.  The
Angsanae Velavaru is accessible via either a scenic 40-minute seaplane
journey or a leisurely eight-hour cruise onboard a Turkish Gulet
originating at Malé island. Upon disembarking, a quick speedboat ride
will bring guests to the dedicated jetty serving the InOcean Villas,
where they will be welcomed by resort hosts. Ranging
in size from 175 square metres to 290 square metres, each of the
spacious 20 InOcean Villas, 11 Premier InOcean Villas and three
Sanctuary InOcean Villas offers guests an intimate oasis that allows
true solitude. 
Upon
entry, guests will be greeted by a panoramic view of the Indian Ocean
through the sliding glass doors along the living, sleeping and bath
areas. Reminiscent of stylish city lofts and accented with contemporary
coral designs, each two-storey villa comes with a spacious outdoor
deck, an infinity pool of at least 21 square metres, and a hammock
suspended over water. The Premier InOcean Villas and two-bedroom
Sanctuary InOcean Villas also feature an extended deck into the ocean,
complete with a cosy pavilion for leisure lounging or yoga practice. Modern
amenities to complement the chic resort include a flat screen TV,
stereo system with iPod docking station, a full-sized bath tub, and
wireless Internet connection. Considerate touches include two sets of
snorkelling gear placed in the villa for marine exploration whenever
desired, as guests are mere steps from the clear lagoon waters and its
colourful inhabitants. Guests
who wish to take meals outside of the villa may walk over to Azzurro,
the gourmet Italian restaurant and bar located towards one end of the
InOcean Villa cluster. Aside from delectable Italian classics, Azzurro
will offer an extensive international wine selection showcased in
floor-to-ceiling wine racks. Guests
staying at the InOcean Villas also enjoy complete access to the
facilities and services available at Velavaru island where there are 79
beachfront villas. Whenever desired, guests have the option to retreat
to the discreet privacy of the InOcean Villas or enjoy the convenience
of full resort services and amenities at the main resort. At Angsana Velavaru, the facilities and services on the island include: • Dining options at Funa and Kaani restaurants, and exotic cocktails at Kuredhi Bar
• Chef’s culinary classes
• Angsana Spa treatments in an outdoor spa pavilion or air-conditioned treatment room
• Kids’ Club – open from 10am to 8pm
•
A dedicated Marine Lab which organises hands-on eco activities like
coral planting, reef cleaning, and marine biology class
• Water sports like diving, guided snorkeling safari, wakeboarding
