Male’, Maldives -15th April 2026 – Set against the serene backdrop of the South Nilandhe Atoll, Angsana Velavaru has unveiled an exciting enhancement to its recreational landscape with the reopening of its futsal ground—an initiative that seamlessly blends sport, wellbeing, and community spirit.
The reopening ceremony was officiated by Ahmed Shafiu, President of the Dhaalu Atoll Council, alongside General Manager Ahmed Zahir, who jointly inaugurated the revitalised facility. This thoughtfully upgraded space marks a renewed commitment by the resort to enrich both guest experiences and associate engagement through dynamic, shared activities.
Surrounded by lush tropical greenery, the futsal ground spans an impressive 57 by 38 metres, offering a versatile setting for casual play as well as organised sporting events. Designed to cater to guests of all skill levels, the facility invites visitors to embrace an active lifestyle while enjoying the island’s natural beauty.
Looking ahead, the futsal ground will serve as a vibrant hub for curated workshops and expert-led sessions, providing guests with opportunities to refine their skills and immerse themselves in interactive sporting experiences. At the same time, the initiative underscores the resort’s dedication to fostering a culture of teamwork, wellbeing, and connection among its associates.
The reopening celebration itself reflected this spirit of unity and enthusiasm. Friendly matches between the resort’s men’s and ladies’ teams brought energy to the occasion, while an inter-resort game featuring Angsana Velavaru’s Orange Army and the Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru team highlighted the strong sense of camaraderie within the Banyan Group family.
Complementing this addition is the resort’s newly enhanced watersports centre, conveniently located beside the futsal ground. With upgraded amenities including dedicated shower and changing facilities, guests can effortlessly transition from invigorating activities to moments of relaxation along the shoreline.
Speaking at the event, General Manager Ahmed Zahir emphasised that the reopening represents far more than a recreational upgrade. It is a reflection of the resort’s ongoing commitment to creating meaningful, shared experiences that bring people together, inspire active living, and nurture a strong sense of community.
Renowned for its pristine setting and immersive experiences, Angsana Velavaru continues to evolve its offerings with thoughtful enhancements that elevate every aspect of island life. Home to 79 beachfront villas and a distinctive collection of 34 InOcean Villas set one kilometre offshore, the resort presents a harmonious blend of comfort, adventure, and seclusion. From watersports and diving excursions to indulgent spa treatments and curated dining, every moment here is designed to inspire guests to truly savour the essence of the Maldives.
