The new design of the dive centre provides a welcoming vibe, bringing an airy and relaxed atmosphere to the space.
Operated by Silver Sands, the dive centre offers a selection of internationally recognised PADI dive courses, extensive island activities both under and over the water.
Meanwhile, the newly renovated Photography Lounge now sits right beside the Fem Bar.
After a bespoke photography session, guests will now be invited to view an array of their photos in the comfort and privacy of the lounge. All in-house guests are also offered 30 minutes complimentary portrait session as well as a complimentary 6 x 8 inches photo.
Owned and operated by leading local hotel group Universal Resorts, Velassaru is located in South Male Atoll and accessible by a short 25-minute speedboat ride from the main Velana International Airport.
Velassaru offers luxurious beachfront and overwater accommodation with uninterrupted ocean views. Featuring wooden ceilings and floors for a tropical atmosphere, the contemporary-styled villas and bungalows offer chic serenity.
A wide variety of international specialities are offered at Velassaru’s five restaurants, including fresh contemporary seafood, Japanese, international and grill pan Indian options. The two beach bars serve cocktails and wines.
