There are two different types of accommodation to choose from in Angsana Velavaru: beachfront stay in the classic thatched villas of the original resort, or a luxurious over-water experience in the huge and new charming Ocean Villas majestically drifting in the lagoon, and unattached to the island. 

In October 2019 Angsana Velavaru Maldives, part of Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts’ collection of private island resorts, completed a multi-million dollar renovation and expansion by enhancing the product offering of this iconic resort. The new look of Velavaru features an appealing combination of chic and vibrant elements inspired by Maldivian art creating a distinctive style that is evident at every touch point of the Angsana brand.

Angsana Velavaru Kids Club – Rangers Club is now at its new location at the main beach and features a 200sqm private area, kids pool and a separate designated entry to the new football ground.

Maldivian inspired al fresco dining concept Magoo Garden adds to the diverse dine-around experience, with the resort now offering up to 5 restaurants, offering the Mediterranean dining at overwater restaurant and bar Azzurro, lobster menus at Funa restaurant and bar, all-day dining at Kaani restaurant and pool menus at Kuredhi restaurant, bar, and gallery.
