Velaa Private Island
Overview
Velaa is a place of pure seclusion, a tropical paradise in harmony with the environment and the tranquil Maldivian way of life. There are many private islands in Maldives, but only very few of them are truly private, owned by one person. Velaa Private Island is such a case. The owner, Jiri Smejc, has spent countless weeks in Maldives both on holidays and while taking his business trips from Europe to Asia. The islands became his true passion: many of them being beautiful, but each of them coming short on some part of the visitor experience he valued. That’s why he decided to build the Velaa Private Island. An island meeting his ideas what a luxurious private resorts hould be. An island keeping a real privacy for its guests but at the same time versatile enough to provide number of first-class enjoyment opportunities.
