Anantara Veli Maldives Resort

If you're considering this property- book today! We had an absolutely lovely vacation to this property and are already making plans to come back. Beyond that, we have recommended Anantara Veli to any friends and family who will listen! The food was phenomenal, the accommodations gorgeous but the most impressive element was the team that works there. In particular, there are several staff members I would like to mention as their service and kindness was above expectations. Our host Fathi went above and beyond to make the stay special throughout, and our meals with Ibrahim at Cumin were phenomenal. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome and we truly enjoyed every interation. Fon at the spa was so lovely that we went back to the spa three separate times in one week. Mehemed in Origami made our teppanyaki experience fun and delicious, and we loved his kind energy and the joy he brought to his work. Bokey at Cumin made a point to welcome us and share local cuisine recommendations, and finally Ashruf the Operations Manager should be commended for the team he's built and supported but beyond that, he took the time to chat with me at length about my own experience with hotels and running special events and the pride he carries for his work is exemplary. This entire team should be commended by elevating our trip to a location straight out of paradise, and along with their colleagues make this a top tier property. I travel around the world for work and have been to many high-end properties, and there is a special alchemy that comes from bringing the best people together and instilling pride in their craft that Anantara Maldives has mastered. Thank you for a dream visit and we look forward to coming back again soon!
