AED 5,200/person · Resort package from Dubai · Transfers included
Anantara Veli Maldives Resort — Maldives Holiday Package from Dubai & UAE
Anantara Veli Maldives Resort is one of the Maldives' most romantic hideaways — a 100% adults-only overwater resort in South Malé Atoll where every villa sits directly above the turquoise lagoon. The puffer fish swimming below, the sunset views from your private deck and the Thai-inspired hospitality create an irresistible combination.
All 67 villas are overwater — from entry-level Over Water Villas to the Deluxe Over Water Pool Villa with infinity pool and floor-to-ceiling lagoon views. The house reef is one of the finest in the Maldives, accessible directly from the jetty steps.
For UAE couples seeking a Maldives holiday package from Dubai without children, Anantara Veli delivers extraordinary serenity. The 30-minute speedboat transfer (runs day and night) means late arrivals from Dubai are no problem — unlike seaplane resorts.
✨ Why This Resort Is Unique
Anantara Veli is one of very few true adults-only resorts in the Maldives — meaning complete serenity and romance without children. All 67 villas are overwater, giving every couple direct lagoon access from their villa. The 30-minute speedboat transfer is also wallet-friendly versus seaplane.

Every single one of the 67 villas is built over the lagoon — including entry-level rooms. Puffer fish, reef fish and sea turtles swim below your glass floor.
24hr Speedboat Transfer
The 30-minute speedboat runs 24 hours a day — arrive at any hour from Dubai without stressing about daytime-only seaplane connections.
Ocean Pool Villas
Ocean Pool Villas are set on a secluded cliff edge with private pools over the roaring ocean — the most dramatic overwater pool experience in South Malé Atoll.
Balance Wellness by Anantara
Award-winning Ayurvedic spa with ocean-view treatment rooms, yoga pavilion and tailored wellness retreats for mind, body and soul rejuvenation.
Thai & Japanese Dining
Baan Huraa (authentic Thai teak house over the lagoon) and Origami (Japanese robatayaki grill with fresh Maldivian yellowfin) are dining highlights.
