What Our Guests Say
A week of snorkeling bliss
The reef/drop off near the In Ocean villas was absolutely stunning with vibrant corals and fish soup. There sometimes was a bit of a current coming in or out, and the reef near the villas is pretty shallow during low tide.
Amazing
Our stay at Angsana Velavaru in the Maldives was absolutely fantastic! From beginning to end, everything was perfect. The beautiful resort, the excellent service, and the wonderful atmosphere made our holiday truly special.

Worth choosing the resort for. One or two caveats on entry point or current.
The reef here is genuinely good, but where you sleep decides how much of it you get. The drop-off runs along the InOcean villas, a short swim from those decks, and guests describe vibrant coral and dense fish. Channels are cut through the shallow reef out to the drop-off and marked with buoys, with ladders at the end of each, and there can be a lateral current, so it is worth walking to the upstream end of the boardwalk and drifting back. At low tide the reef in front of the villas is shallow. From the beach it is a different proposition: the sand entry is easy, the back of the island holds a shallow reef with big schools of juvenile fish, and the resort runs one boat a day out to the drop-off. Ask us which villa suits how you want to snorkel.
Getting there
Land at Velana after 15:00 and the last transfer of the day will have gone, which means a night in Malé before you reach the island.
Seaplanes fly in daylight only, between 06:00 and 15:30, so an international flight has to land at Velana before 15:00. Land later and you spend the first night in Male at your own cost. Going home, a flight leaving before 09:00 means travelling back to Male the previous afternoon, because the resort cannot put you on a same-day seaplane. Send flight details three to ten days ahead. Baggage is 20 kg checked plus 5 kg cabin, with excess charged by the seaplane operator. The airport representative meets guests at counter A16, and the Vilu lounge at the seaplane terminal is included on arrival.
Transfer details last checked September 2026. We re-check yours against your actual ticket before we quote. See what your flight can reach →
