Fantastic retreat for a escape, numerous fantastic dining options (7 eateries), we spent 3 nights and never grew tired of the culinary selections. The retreat consists of 3 linked islands, each boasting its own shorelines and vistas. Numerous stunning snorkeling locations are conveniently reachable from the beaches, where we encountered a turtle, juvenile sharks, and a variety of other fish species. Our host Ibrahim was exceptional and extremely attentive to all our requirements. In general, highly recommended for a relaxing vacation.

Our stay at the Veli was absolutely fantastic. One of the main reasons being that it is exclusively for adults, yet we still have access to both Anantara resorts. The team members are incredibly considerate and exceptional. They excel at ensuring our comfort and providing us with an unforgettable experience. When it comes to dining, we were delighted to sample the Japanese and Thai cuisine. Our overwater bungalow was exceptional, offering a stunning view of the sunset, ample space, and a comfortable bed. I would like to express my gratitude to Noah for his attentive service and to Adam for keeping our room impeccably clean every day.

We had an absolutely amazing honeymoon! Each team member was incredibly welcoming, supportive, and a delight to engage with. Our villa host, Ali, exceeded all expectations to ensure we had the most exceptional experience, and we did! I can't speak highly enough of this resort. From the accommodations to the shorelines, to the panoramas, to the cuisine, to the individuals, this was the ultimate honeymoon we could have desired! Thank you!
