Angsana Velavaru has been recognised as Maldives’ Leading Water Villa Resort at the World Travel Awards – an honour that places the resort among the country’s most distinguished addresses for overwater stays. This accolade reflects a growing appreciation for travel experiences that offer genuine privacy, generous space and thoughtful simplicity.
Located in the South Nilandhe Atoll, Angsana Velavaru is home to the InOcean Pool Villa—a unique collection of standalone overwater villas set apart from the main island and surrounded entirely by open sea. Secluded from the island’s main area, the villas provide a rare level of privacy and uninterrupted ocean views, creating a setting that feels both considered and deeply relaxed.
The InOcean Pool Villas are available in one- and two-bedroom configurations, designed with flexibility and comfort in mind. Spread across two levels, each features a private infinity pool, open air- deck and spacious interiors, ideal for couples seeking quiet moments or families looking to spend time together. A rooftop terrace offers an additional space to unwind — perfect for a casual barbecue, sunset drinks, or simply taking in the endless horizon.
Guest also enjoys convenient access to Azzurro Restaurant and Bar, an overwater Mediterranean venue situated close to the villas. The restaurant offers a carefully crafted menu in an elegant yet understated setting, where sweeping ocean views provide a serene backdrop for both intimate dinners and leisurely meals.
Reflecting on the win, General Manager Ahmed Zahir shared, “We are deeply grateful for this recognition. It is a testament to the dedication of our entire team, who work each day to create a thoughtful and personalised experience for our guests. The InOcean Pool Villas offer something truly distinctive within the Maldives—space, breathtaking views, and a slower pace that resonates with those who stay with us. This award encourages us to continue refining what we offer and to always remain connected to what our guests value most.”
This award marks a significant moment for Angsana Velavaru and acknowledges its commitment to consistently delivering comfort, ease, and meaningful hospitality. In a destination renowned for overwater villas, the InOcean Pool Villa experience continues to offer something quietly different—uncomplicated, spacious, and immersed in the rhythm of the sea.
As the resort looks ahead, Angsana Velavaru remains focused on enhancing the guest journey while preserving the warmth and authenticity that defines its approach. The World Travel Awards recognition serves as both an honour and a motivation to keep evolving in step with what today’s travellers seek most.
