Vakkaru

Beach and Island Escapes
Maldives

Vakkaru Maldives is a brand new, lush, green tropical island resort offering a fresh holistic approach to unassuming luxury with superb eco-credentials. Famous for its manta rays, the diving here is exceptional, and the beach and water villas offer incredible space and ocean views.

Why we like Vakkaru

Barefoot luxury meets impeccable service.

Facilities

This resort appeals to couples and larger groups of friends and families, offering a wide choice of accommodation types from beach bungalows through to an exceptional four bedroom over water pool residence able to accommodate four adults and four children or eight adults. This makes for a lovely alternative to a private beach villa holiday. A larger resort with 125 beaches and over water villas and suites designed with an earthy yet elegant aesthetic, offering an incredible sense of space and stunning ocean views.

Exceptional dining experiences served across four restaurants and two bars offers the perfect environment for everyone to relax, unwind and indulge in style.

Parrot Fish Club

Children between the ages of three and 12 are well catered for throughout the day at the Parrot Fish Club. The choice of activities is impressive including nature walks, sand art, hula hoop games, shell collecting, panning for gold, kayaking, mini yoga, coconut painting, tennis coaching, kids aerobics, fun tube rides, kids try dive, storytelling, sunset fishing and cookery.

Activities

Apart from relaxing, reading and sunbathing, there is also an abundance of activities available. In Baa Atoll, plankton blooms during the months of May to November attracting mantas by the hundreds, often accompanied by whale sharks feeding alongside.
