## About the hotel
Velaa Private Island sits alone in the Noonu Atoll, roughly 190 kilometres north of Male, built by the Czech entrepreneurs Radka and Jiri Smejc as both a resort and a personal retreat. Architect Petr Kolar drew on materials from across the world, Borneo timber, Jordanian stone, Italian furniture, to shape 43 villas and two four-bedroom residences, each with its own pool. The island's name comes from the Dhivehi word for sea turtle, echoed in the circular design of its overwater walkways.
