Deluxe Over Water Pool Villas

At Anantara Veli Maldives Resort, in South Malé Atoll, the Deluxe Over Water Pool Villas place your stay directly above the lagoon. The setting is unmistakably Maldivian, with turquoise waters and white-sand beaches all around. Here, the connection to the sea is immediate. The villa extends over the water and gives full weight to this island setting.

The defining feature is the six-metre infinity pool. It continues the line of the lagoon and creates a private space for swimming with the ocean close at hand. The other signature detail is the hammock suspended above the water. It is a simple feature, yet it says a great deal about this room type in a resort known for couples and island escapes. Between the over-water setting and the direct proximity to the lagoon, this category focuses on what draws travellers to South Malé Atoll in the first place: water, light, and a stay shaped by the Maldives.
