ACTIVITIES
Entertainment

Relax to the rhythm of island beats and gentle reggae, swapping stories from your latest dive or thrilling water sports adventure. It’s no surprise this spot is often named among guests’ favourite laid-back hangouts in the world.
- Veli Bar
Set beside the crystal-clear pool that seems to stretch into the sea, Veli Pool Bar offers shimmering lagoon views on three sides — the perfect place to pause and unwind by the water.

Enjoy freshly baked pizzas straight from the wood-fired oven, their crisp, thin crusts topped with the finest ingredients and cooked to perfection. The menu also features vibrant salads and expertly grilled seafood, bringing a taste of the Mediterranean to the soft sands of the beach. With your feet in the sand, eyes on the lagoon, and the sea breeze in your hair, it’s the perfect recipe for a blissful, unhurried meal.
- Activities
- Jet Ski Safari
Climb aboard a jet ski for an exhilarating ride, snorkelling gear at the ready. With the Maldives being 99% water, there’s nothing quite like the sense of freedom that comes from skimming across the waves or diving beneath them. Keep an eye out — you might just spot a message in a bottle. When tides allow, you could even find yourself on a secluded sandbank or a pristine beach, ready for a memorable picnic in paradise.
- Yoga and Sound Bar Aboard a Dhoni
As the ocean glows with shades of liquid gold, the scene is set for a restorative session of meditation, Tibetan sound bowl therapy, breathwork, and yoga. A refreshing detox drink and a mood-lifting oil blend enhance the experience, while gentle tides cradle you in harmony with the waves. Floating on the water in this way offers the purest connection to nature, leaving both mind and body deeply renewed.
- Whale Shark Trip with a Marine Biologist
South Ari Atoll is the world’s only year-round gathering place for whale sharks, making it an extraordinary location to learn about these gentle giants and the ways we can help protect them. While snorkelling, encounters with turtles, manta rays, and a kaleidoscope of tropical fish are also likely. The experience concludes with the chance to adopt a sea turtle, supporting the conservation of this endangered species.
