Water Villa

Velassaru offers 10 kinds of rooms. We stayed in a Water Villa. It had a large bed, sitting area, bathroom with bathtub and shower, and a private terrace. The villa had all the comforts like WiFi, free drinking water, coffee and tea, daily cleaning but also a home theater system if you feel fancy to watch a movie. We recommend going stargazing instead haha  :-)

Dining at Velassaru

There are 8 types of restaurants and bars to have lunch, dinner or a snack. Their main restaurant called Vela offers a buffet-style dinner but definitely one of the best buffets you will ever have. We had the pleasure to be at Velassaru during lobster nights at Vela Restaurant, incredible!
