Set against the boundless turquoise expanse of the Indian Ocean, the InOcean Pool Villas have become a defining feature of Angsana Velavaru,  setting it apart within the Maldivian hospitality landscape. Designed with both couples and families in mind, these villas offer expansive living  spaces, private pools, and direct access to the ocean. More than architectural innovations, this embody an invitation to experience the Maldives  that is both personal and adventurous, allowing guests to feel deeply connected to the surrounding sea. 

Yet the essence of Angsana Velavaru extends far beyond its celebrated villas. Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in a tapestry of  experience that reflect both the vibrancy of the Maldives and the unique spirit of the resort. Its acclaimed “101 Things to Do” programme  ensures that every stay is filled with opportunities for exploration and enrichment, ranging from marine adventures and wellness rituals to  culinary experiences. Cultural immersion is equally central, with guests invited to connect with neighbouring island communities and traditions,  gaining a deeper appreciation of Maldivian heritage. Theses are complemented by the resort’s Stay for Good initiatives, which integrate  environmental care and community engagement into the guest journey, enabling travellers to contribute positively to the destination they are  discovering. 

Reflecting on the recognition, General Manager Ahmed Zahir said “We are truly honoured to receive this award from the TTM Awards, a  platform that embodies the spirit of the Maldivian travel community. This accolade not only celebrate the uniqueness of our InOcean Pool  Villas but also pay tribute to the dedication of our team, who work tirelessly to create moments of discovery, connection and meaning for our  guests. At Angsana Velavaru, we believe a stay should be more than a holiday—it should become a journey that remain in our guests long after  they return home.”
