Angsana Velavaru was crowned Best Water Villa Resort at the prestigious TTM Awards & Gala 2025, hosted by Travel Trade Maldives, the country’s leading travel trade platform. This recognition shines a spotlight on the resort’s trailblazing role in Maldivian hospitality, and in particular its signature InOcean Pool Villas—the first standalone water villas in the Maldives, set a full kilometre from the main island.
A Defining Experience in the Maldives
Rising from the turquoise waters of the South Nilandhe Atoll, the InOcean Pool Villas have redefined luxury travel in the Maldives. Designed with both couples and families in mind, these expansive sanctuaries feature private pools, sweeping ocean views, and direct access to the sea. More than just architectural marvels, the villas embody a spirit of discovery and connection—inviting guests to feel immersed in the living seascape around them.
Beyond the Villas: A Journey of Discovery
While the InOcean Villas are iconic, the soul of Angsana Velavaru extends far beyond their design. Guests are invited to dive deeper into Maldivian culture and nature through the resort’s celebrated “101 Things to Do” programme. From vibrant marine adventures and holistic spa rituals to world-class dining and local cultural encounters, every stay is filled with opportunities for enrichment.
The resort’s Stay for Good initiatives ensure that each visit contributes positively to the Maldives. Through environmental care and community engagement, guests can join in meaningful projects that protect the fragile ecosystem and support local island communities.
Honouring Excellence in Hospitality
Reflecting on the award, General Manager Ahmed Zahir shared:
“We are truly honoured to receive this recognition from TTM Awards, a platform that celebrates the spirit of the Maldivian travel community. This accolade not only highlights the uniqueness of our InOcean Pool Villas but also honours the dedication of our team, who work tirelessly to create moments of discovery, connection, and meaning for our guests.”

With 79 beachfront villas and 34 InOcean Villas, world-class dining, spa treatments, watersports, and unforgettable cultural experiences, Angsana Velavaru stands as a vibrant tropical getaway—where every stay becomes a story worth telling.
