Velaa Private Island
Nestled within the constellation of islands that form the Noonu Atoll in the Maldives, Velaa Private Island takes exclusivity to the next level with facilities and service that go beyond traditional resorts.
Designed by award-winning Czech architect Petr Kolar as “an elegant fusion of Maldivian culture with contemporary luxury, intimate with Maldivian nuances”
Velaa Private Island is the realisation of a dream to create a ‘beyond luxury’ exclusive boutique hideaway in the Maldives. Velaa means “Turtle” in the local language – named after generations of sea turtles that flock there to nest and hatch.
From a broader “bird’s eye view” which greets arrivals by seaplane, the island’s exclusive over-water villas are also constructed to resemble the head of a turtle, with the island forming the body.
The resort comprises 47 private villas, houses and exclusive residences. While 18 of the 47 are built over water, the Romantic Pool Residence can only be reached by boat, allowing even more privacy and
exclusivity.
The owners Radka and Jiri Smejc have asked and chosen with Frederic Béziat, artist and designer of the House LOREEDUBOIS, to create two exclusive collections: a first collection of high jewellery in limited
edition taking up the beauty of the Maldivian nature of Velaa Private Island.
A few words from the artist “With this collection, I wanted to transcribe everything
that represented the beauty and pure spirit of Velaa Private Island.”
The second collection, called “The Turtle Anniversary Collection”, is a permanent collection available on the
island.
Inspired by the generations of sea turtles that flock to the private island of Velaa to nest and hatch,
from which Velaa takes its name.
