Vakkaru Maldives

The Island

Your happy holiday begins at once upon arrival at the Malé airport (VIA). The resort's representatives are very friendly and helpful. Vakkaru's lounge at TMA seaplane terminal is lovely, very comfortable, clean, nice selection of beverages and snacks and extremely friendly staff. This really sets the tone for the resort and an excellent way to start your holiday. The elegantly design of the lounge is made in the same style as the whole hotel and Vakkaru has its own vehicle to pick up their guests to the lounge that's about 5 min away from Velana international airport. Overlooking the seaplane marina on turquoise colors, waiting for your scenic seaplane trip you can grab the array of complimentary treats on offer including a delectable pastries, fruits and nuts, Wi-Fi and had some espresso to go. The lounge is such a treat after a tiring international flight. After a short wait (seaplane transferto the resort occurs as soon as possible ) expect a 25-minute flight to Vakkaru.

On arrival to Vakkaru island, you will be warmly welcomed at the jetty by a team of staff members with a live drums and refreshments, before being introduced to your butler who provide the grand island buggy tour and escorted to your villa. DOWNLOAD RESORT MAP

Preferring to keep the natural beauty of the island as unspoilt as possible, this independently operated resort is remarkably elegant and understated. The resort is boasting with thick vegetations and 1,400 mature coconut trees (a jungle feel), and good to know that the island was bought years back and has grown vegetation before they started building up the the resort. The extraordinarily stunning island was originally a coconut plantation and they haven’t destroyed its natural beauty. So if you want a really natural, green island, you won't be disappointed. The resort has been beautifully laid out with an incredible attention to detail which is apparent at every turn. The clean island is quite big so you can use you bike or their golf cars to move from side to side. The provided bicycles are handy to get to and from your villas. The palm-lined sandy paths on the island are delightfully shady on which to walk or cycle, whilst the long jetty to the over-water villas sometimes are felling a little unnerving on the bikes as you negotiated the buggies, pedestrians and other cyclists. 

With beautiful earth tones, minimalistic interior, wide spaces and warm and cosy ambience, Vakkaru Maldives is a nature lover's heaven, surrounded by unspoiled aquamarine waters abundant with an impressive house reef teeming with exotic sea life. Oriented from west to east, the island has 3 blue holes nearby, rich in marine life and great for snorkeling and diving. One that is very near to the water villas, within 20-30 meters away.

Drawing on the rich traditions of the locale, design elements are focused on traditional Maldivian style and fused with the finest natural elements. The result is the creation of amazing spaces for guests to connect with each other and the environment around them. Vakkaru is proud in their quest to fashion an idyllic, sustainable environment of pared-back luxury under the endless emeralds and azures of the Maldives. Fashionable design elements, impressive jungle feel to the gardens and vegetation, apothecary organic bathroom amenities, intelligent guest room connectivity and an array of recreational activities await travellers seeking an intimate getaway in arguably one of the most desirable island destinations on the planet. With lush green foliage and panoramic views, the island is really breathtaking, however, all that pales in comparison to the staff. After a few days stay you will seem to be part of a big family were you are always the star. You are always welcomed and assisted by the Vakkaru Team in any place you are, and you are always treated like a royality.

Ever since Vakkaru Maldives opened, it has become the romantic escape every honeymooner dreams off – a private island paradise where you can swim in turquoise waters, lounge on powdery-soft white sand beaches and sip a cocktail while looking out over the horizon.

The Beach

Within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa atoll in the Maldives, Vakkaru is a reef island composed entirely of sediment produced on the surrounding coral “faru” (or reefs), 85 percent it is thought, by parrotfish, the fish grinding up coral during feeding and, after digesting the edible content, excrete the rest as sand, creating the powder soft, brilliant white sands that encircle the island.

At the villas they overlook the lagoon, while in the suites they are in the garden.

Nestled between swaying coconut trees and lush foliage, Beach Bungalows (114m2) are the most affordable accommodation that's perfect for couples who want to step straight off the deck and feel the soft white sand between their toes, before plunging into the turquoise waters of the lagoon.

Dotted across the expansive white, sandy beach on the northern side of the island, Beach Villas enjoy the same sophisticated design as the Beach Bungalows, offering more space for couples or families with one child. The Beach Villa's interiors are stunning, an open plan space with an oversized four-poster bed, and an iPad to control every switch in the room. The bath is a statement, circular and free-standing with two adjacent doors leading to a separate shower room. In addition to ‘his' and ‘hers' sinks, the outdoor shower and the complimentary toiletries that were topped up daily are an unexpected bonus. Bathroom amenities are from Appelles, Australia, an organic brand and in reasonable sizes, not the small versions. Stepping outside on to the deck, it's a short 5 second walk to the turquoise waters of the ocean. .

Beach Pool Villa is a perfect, so private and so spacious. A large living area which for families can be used to accommodate children. A sliding door to bedroom (complete with a four-poster bed) can be closed for privacy.

Beach Pool Suites are also perfect with a separate living room and 32m2 private pool, with the bedroom, living room and bathroom all facing the azure waters of the lagoon. The suite is very spacious and the pool in front of the beach is great. It gives great atmosphere at night with ambient lights and sound of running water. Every villa is equiped with portable bang&olufsen speaker. Great if you want to listen music in the bathroom. But please, for every next guests, don't take it to the beach:) Sound of the ocean is enough. Cleaning service is great and every evening you have some sweets for goodnight.

Upgrade to an Overwater Villa (140m2) will give you the ultimate romantic hideaway set over the turquoise lagoon. Overwater Villas are elegantly designed for two adults looking to appreciate the wonder of their aquatic surroundings. The balcony doors lead directly outside to a ladder down to the azure calm waters, and the view from the bed is exceptionally blue. The bathtub that opens to the sundeck overlooking the ocean is bliss, and right outside is a hammock (net) inviting for that perfect tanning under the sun. Elegantly decorated with state of the art switches from the curtains and doors all Water Villas provide an outdoor shower (a must!) and convenient stairs into the ocean, that’s always a major point as some resorts feature a steep ladder what is always challenging when climbing down with snorkelling gear. Even right by the villas, the seas is constantly teaming with a huge array of fish, rays and even baby black-tip sharks.

Lagoon Villas differ from Beach Villas in a large space, but are located at the beginning of the jetty in consequence of which you can expect sometimes extraneous noise from a passing buggies.

Again the villa itself included an iPad which controlled everything from the air conditioning, to the curtains and the lighting in each of the rooms with just a touch of a button.

She manage to create and customize any dish you requested in no time and without any compromise on taste . A chef like that makes the whole experience of a holiday go that extra mile!

Set in the garden, our favorite is ONU (Asian cuisine), the evening ambience and interior is noteworthy. We had dinner here on the 2nd night and I had some mouth watering Vietnamese food, the red duck curry was so good. An elegant bamboo fashioned culinary theatre within a tropical plantation offering a dining experience inside and out, seasoned with tropical ambiance, idolising the finest from the island's organic farm. A designed space with showcase kitchen, counter dining, garden pavilions and lounge areas. The ‘must try' are Tom Yum Geung soup and lobster yellow curry.

Complementing Vakkaru’s exciting dine-around journey, Anguru, the new teppanyaki restaurant and the resort’s sixth food and beverage outlet, is a deliciously interactive dining experience. In the old days, coconut shells were used for fire and cooking in the traditional Maldivian kitchen. The by-product was “coconut shell charcoal” or “anguru’ in the Dhivehi language that is then used for barbecues. The restaurant’s name also celebrates the island’s heritage as a coconut plantation, which is still home to 2,300 trees today.
