Imagine an island thousands of miles away, with palm trees, golden beaches and a crystal-clear turquoise lagoon shimmering in the tropical sun. Imagine the warm sea breeze caressing your body, the most colorful fish darting in and out of stunning coral gardens, and a romantic picnic on the beach. Imagine the two of you, with all the time in the world to do as much or as little as you like.

"Velavaru” translates as ‘Turtle Island’ in the indigenous Madivian language of Dhivehi. Dhaalu Atoll, home to the resort, is widely considered virgin territory when it comes to tourism. Many of its dive sites, reefs and islands are virtually untouched and definitely worth an outing. Angsana Velavaru arranges different types of excursions that invite you to discover the wealth of experiences that the atoll has to offer, from island hopping and dolphin watching to snorkeling safaris and night fishing.
