For your information, “velaa” means “turtle” in Dhivehi. This is probably the first lesson you will learn after stepping onto Angsana Resort, considered the ultimate in tropical luxury on Dhaalu Atoll – a resort that takes the local turtle as its design inspiration and unofficial mascot.

Seclusion is the rule here, not an option. Private beachfronts look out over a crystal-clear, cerulean sea. Beach bungalows feature open-air bathrooms and personal sundecks; Deluxe beach bungalows are the beach bungalows’ more spacious cousins; Island bungalows are privacy personified.

A raft of activities ensures you don’t stay holed up in your bungalow all day. Snorkeling, scuba diving (at the resort’s own dive center), windsurfing and dolphin watching are just some of the activities available.  A spa works out all the kinks from all that strenuous activity, and the all-day Hathaa Restaurant fills you back up again for another day.
