Surrounded by white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters, Velaa Private Island creates a sense of calm from the moment guests arrive. The island’s natural beauty, combined with its understated, design-led approach, allows guests to settle into a slower, more relaxed rhythm over the long weekend.

Accommodation at Velaa is centred around comfort and privacy, making it particularly well suited for families and groups travelling together for Eid. The resort’s collection of overwater villas and beachfront residences, many featuring private pools, offer generous space and sense of seclusion, allowing guests to come together while still enjoying complete relaxation.

Wellbeing plays a central role in the Velaa experience, with the island’s dedicated Wellbeing Village, offering a holistic approach to rest and recovery. Built around the pillars of body, mindfulness, fitness and nutrition, programmes are tailored to each guest, combining spa therapies, yoga, meditation and breathwork with personalised fitness sessions and wellness-focused dining. Guests can choose to fully themselves or simply engage at their own pace.

Dining at Velaa reflects a refined yet varied culinary offering, with a selection of venues suited to both shared and more intimate moments. From contemporary European cuisine with an Asian twist at Aragu, to Japanese teppanyaki and East Asian flavours at Tavaru and more relaxed international all-day dining at Athiri alongside wellness-focused, plant-forward cuisine at the beachfront Faiy, guests can move between experiences throughout their stay. For a more curated experience, Avi Bar sets the scene for sunset gatherings with expertly crafted cocktails. Private dining is also available for those looking to celebrate Eid in a more personal and secluded way.

Blending natural beauty, thoughtful design and a strong focus on wellbeing, Velaa Private Island offers a calm and private setting for Eid Al Adha, where the long weekend becomes an opportunity to slow down, reconnect and spend meaningful time together in one of the Maldives’ most exclusive private island destinations.
