Angsana Velavaru has earned one of the highest accolades in the Maldivian hospitality sector, having been awarded the title of Maldives’ Leading Water Villa Resort at the prestigious World Travel Awards. This recognition places the resort among the country’s most sought-after destinations for luxurious overwater stays, reinforcing its reputation as a standout for privacy, spacious design, and immersive natural surroundings.
Situated in the pristine South Nilandhe Atoll, Angsana Velavaru is known for its distinctive InOcean Pool Villas, a rare collection of stand-alone villas suspended entirely over the Indian Ocean. Unlike many overwater accommodations in the Maldives, these villas are set apart from the main island, offering an unmatched level of seclusion. Each villa is surrounded by open sea and provides panoramic views of turquoise waters, delivering an experience that combines barefoot luxury with tranquility and exclusivity.
Designed for both couples and families, the InOcean Pool Villas come in one- and two-bedroom layouts and are thoughtfully spread across two levels. These spacious villas include private infinity pools, open-air sun decks, and expansive interiors that foster comfort and relaxation. A key highlight is the rooftop terrace, a perfect space for sunset drinks, casual dining, or quiet contemplation under the Maldivian sky. This blend of comfort and natural beauty has made the villas a preferred choice for travelers seeking privacy and a more personal connection to their environment.
Adding to the appeal is the Azzurro Restaurant, an overwater dining venue located just steps away from the InOcean Pool Villas. The restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine in an elegant, understated setting, complemented by sweeping ocean views. Whether for an intimate dinner or a leisurely afternoon meal, Azzurro enhances the overall guest experience by offering a harmonious balance of fine dining and serenity.
In response to the award, General Manager Ahmed Zahir expressed his appreciation:
“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 latest recognition by the World Travel Awards, which are internationally respected for honoring excellence in the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries, highlights Angsana Velavaru’s continued commitment to delivering authentic Maldivian hospitality with a focus on comfort, elegance, and meaningful experiences.
Angsana Velavaru is part of the renowned Banyan Tree Group, known globally for its eco-sensitive luxury resorts and spas. The resort aligns with the group’s values by maintaining a deep respect for local culture and marine biodiversity.

As more discerning travelers look for destinations that offer space, privacy, and an escape from the everyday, Angsana Velavaru continues to adapt its offerings while preserving the warmth and simplicity that define its brand. This award is not only a recognition of excellence but also a motivation to further enhance the resort’s distinct experience, one that is deeply connected to the rhythm of the sea and the evolving expectations of today’s global traveler.
