When Velaa Private Island unveils something new, the global luxury travel world pays attention.
In September 2025, the resort completed the full renovation of its Four Bedroom Kuredhi Private Residence – a transformation led by the acclaimed Winch Design London, known for their refined approach to contemporary island living. Today, we take you inside this extraordinary residence and into the refined universe of Velaa Private Island, one of the Maldives’ most prestigious private island destinations.
A Vision of Contemporary Island Living
Kuredhi has always been one of Velaa’s signature residences. However, the 2025 redesign elevates it into a new category of bespoke beachfront luxury.
Soft oceanic tones, natural textures, and sculptural decor now define the interiors. Every detail – from seaweed-like raffia accents to shell-inspired lacquer finishes – reflects the rhythm of the ocean.
The atmosphere is calm, contemporary, and artistic. It feels like a private beach home created for families and groups who want privacy, elegance, and unmatched comfort.
The residence opens directly onto a wide stretch of ivory-white beach. Lush palms provide natural shade and complete the feeling of being in a world of your own.
Design Highlights and Signature Features
The 2025 renovation brings together craftsmanship, art, and modern architecture.
Here is what makes the new Kuredhi Residence stand out:
- Four large bedrooms, each opening onto either a balcony or the main terrace, offering uninterrupted beachfront scenery.
- Designer furnishings, including Minotti Hamilton sofas, Soave lounges by Piegatto, and sculptural pieces that give each room a distinct character.
- Art-forward interiors, featuring custom JAB carpets, Linda Bird sculptures, and textile wall installations by Anne Kyyrö Quinn.
- A dramatic two-storey atrium with a cascading Phillips Collection organic wall sculpture inspired by the ocean’s movement.
