Nala Veli Beach & Spa stands directly behind Nala Bistro on the beachfront, with a choice of rooms, some with balconies. A few streets away, Nala Veli Villa has six ground-floor rooms around a garden, with Nala Spa in the same building. Both are looked after by the Nala team.
Couples usually take the Superior Deluxe with Balcony at Beach & Spa. Families with young children usually take the Family Room there. Anyone staying a week or more, travelling with friends, or happier without stairs usually stays at the Villa.
Tell us whether you would like a balcony, space for children or several rooms together, and we can narrow the choice.
Nala Veli Beach & Spa
Nala Bistro faces the beach, directly in front of the hotel on the same property. The sea is a minute's walk from the front door.
Beach & Spa has 26 rooms across six categories. Balcony rooms give you somewhere to sit outside between swims and dinner. The two Nala Suites, one facing the sunrise and the other the sunset, each have a Jacuzzi in the en-suite bathroom.
The hotel has three floors and no lift, so the balcony rooms and the Suites are reached by stairs.
Come back from the beach to a garden and a residential street where people live. All six rooms are on the ground floor, and Nala Spa is on that same floor, so a treatment is a walk down your own corridor.
The four Deluxe rooms sit side by side, which is why groups of friends and families travelling together end up here. So do guests staying longer. Evenings are quieter. The beach is less than two minutes away, with the garden to return to after a day out.
The same Nala team books your Coral Speedboat tickets from Malé and meets you at Ukulhas harbour. Nala Bistro and Nala Spa serve both properties, and you can walk to both from either property.

Every room has a queen bed as standard. Both properties open check-in from 14:00 and ask for check-out by 12:00. If you use a wheelchair, talk to us before you book so we can go through the room and bathroom layout with you; ground-floor rooms at Beach & Spa depend on availability.
Questions about choosing
Which property suits a family?
For younger children, the Family Room at Beach & Spa sleeps three. With older children or a larger group, two rooms at Beach & Spa, or neighbouring Deluxe rooms at the Villa, usually work better than one room.
Can we use Nala Bistro and Nala Spa if we stay at either property?
Yes. Each one serves guests of both properties, and you can walk to either from your room.
