Nestled on the pristine island of Thelu Veliga, located in the South Ari Atoll, approximately 90 km southwest of the capital, Malé, Drift Thelu Veliga Retreat boasts of its own magnificent house reef.

✓ The resort is captivating , a beautifully preserved place for the comfort and relaxation, a combination of greens , white sand and crystalline water . Amazing , friendly and polite staff at your service all time . Maria and Rayyan from the reception are great and willing to assist with your needs. The restaurant Chief Mr Wasana ( I hope the name is right) prepares the most delicious food I’ve ever eaten in a resort. His hands are Gold !! ( luckily we were few guests and were offered a La carte menu instead of buffet) Stayed in water villa , the room is cozy , we had complete view of sunset.. magical. Beauty in each corner of Drift Retreat resort , must try the bar for a drink with stunning views . Budget friendly compared to many resorts in Maldives and honestly should be rated 5 stars including service .

✓ everything was excellent. the food was great 4 cores menu. water Bungalow was very elegant . the resort is excellent if you like quite atmosphere.
✗ coral reef was nice bit water visibility was not good enough. it could be due to specific Climatech reasons!
✓ The weather was very comfortable. The sand was soft and white. The water in the ocean was very clean and pleasant. The staff provides an individual approach to the guests and does everything in their power to fulfill the requests of the guests
✗ Water villas: accommodation for families with children (2-3 years old) in a hotel declared as an "adult hotel". Buffet: spoons was placed in containers with salads and vegetables (it's prohibited by world sanitary standards). Beach: heavy uncomfortable sun beds. Guests of water villas occupy sun beds belonging to beach villas. In Russian, for positions, which have a risk of failure and need major repairs, there is the concept of "made on snot"; so, the interior of a beach villa is "made on snot".
✓ Well kept and clean.
