Dining Above the Blue at Angsana Velavaru

Monday 16th of June 2025

Set in the untouched beauty of South Nilandhe Atoll, Angsana Velavaru brings island living to life through thoughtful service and immersive experiences. As part of the Banyan Group, the resort is well known for its mix of beachfront and overwater villas—especially its iconic InOcean Pool Villas, which stand above the turquoise lagoon.

At the heart of the Angsana Velavaru experience is its destination dining. These offerings go beyond a typical meal, letting guests savour the surroundings as much as the flavours. From floating breakfasts in villa pools to elegant dinners under the stars, every setting is carefully curated.

Mornings begin with a floating tray of tropical fruits, pastries, and hot dishes gliding across the villa pool. Later in the day, a floating tea service offers a calming break with sweet and savoury bites. Come evening, the beach becomes the perfect spot for a relaxed barbecue or the resort’s signature lobster dinner by candlelight.

The V Deck, a floating platform in the lagoon, offers a private, open-sea setting for special occasions. For guests in InOcean Pool Villas, rooftop dinners bring a romantic touch, with personalised service and panoramic ocean views.

Adding depth to the experience, Angsana Velavaru also offers private cooking classes at Funa, where guests learn to prepare traditional Maldivian dishes with guidance from the resort’s chef.

Each dining moment at Angsana Velavaru is designed to reflect the island’s rhythm—unhurried, warm, and truly Maldivian.
