My stay at Drift Veluga was absolutely wonderful — truly beyond expectations.
The staff is outstanding: warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. From the very first moment, you feel welcomed, and the level of service is thoughtful, professional, and always delivered with a smile.
The room was beautiful, spacious, tastefully designed, and incredibly comfortable. The bed was excellent, the space well laid out, and the overall atmosphere felt calm, relaxing, and elegant.
A place that perfectly combines style, comfort, and exceptional hospitality. Highly recommended — I would happily return.

Great experience all around. Friendly personell, villas very well equipped, food excellent. The dive base and crew very professional and caring. No complaints at all.

The water bungalows were beautiful. Tiny island with crystal clear water, decent house reef.
Main issue was lack of vegetarian dinner options. On 3 occasions there were zero main course vegetarian options (on other days 2-3 options). On curry night I had plain rice and bread. Disappointing and only takes a little more thought.
All inclusive - but only allowed 1 soft drink and 1 beer in your villa each day! Weird as there are only 3 sunbeds on the island for use if you’re not in your villa. So a walk to the bar on a hot day. So strange! And just gets irritating!
