When you arrive at Velaa Private Island, the first thing you notice is how beautifully the resort sits within its surroundings. The over-water villas arc across the lagoon in the shape of a turtle, honouring the sea turtles that return here to nest. Combined with sustainable, considered design and a deep respect for Maldivian culture, the island offers your family a private, peaceful retreat shaped by nature itself.
With only 47 villas, houses and exclusive residences, Velaa gives you room to slow down, reconnect and enjoy time together. And when your children are ready for their own adventures, Lha Velaa childcare offers a world created just for them – giving you the freedom to enjoy the island in your own way.
Lha Velaa Childcare: Built for Your Child’s Curiosity
Taking inspiration from a kaleidoscope, ever-changing colours, light and patterns create a playful yet calming environment which encourages your children to explore with confidence and curiosity. Childcare at Velaa goes far beyond supervision.
Tokey the turtle acts as your child’s gentle guide through Lha Velaa. Tokey helps them settle in, explore confidently and feel excited about each new experience. The aim is simple: your children feel inspired and understood, and you enjoy complete peace of mind knowing they’re supported by trained childcare Hosts.
"At Velaa, we believe that our youngest guests deserve the same exceptional care and attention as every adult who visits our island. Childhood is a time of discovery, wonder, and imagination, and the new Lha Velaa Kids Club has been thoughtfully designed to honour that. This development reflects our commitment to creating meaningful, enriching experiences for families, spaces where children feel inspired, supported, and truly at home."
Inside Lha Velaa Kids Club: Where Your Child Can Explore Freely
Open year-round between 9am-6pm, the Lha Velaa Kids Club is a complimentary sanctuary for children aged between 4-12.
With the supervision of trusted childcare professionals, your child can explore activity zones that support their development through:
- Energetic physical play
- Creative and nature-inspired crafts
- Cognitive challenges that spark curiosity
- Social play that builds confidence
- Calm, cosy areas for rest
Sustainability is part of the journey too. On an island named for the sea turtles that nest on its shores – and even shaped like one from above – children take part in simple, engaging activities that show how small choices help protect the world around them. These moments help them feel capable, curious and connected to the island.
Your Child’s Journey Continues Across the Island

Each element helps your child settle quickly and enjoy the island with confidence.
