For a private island escape that’s as exclusive as it is welcoming, as serene as it is exciting, Vakkaru Maldives is hard to beat. This is true luxury living in the Indian Ocean’s Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve for couples and families alike. Making the most of the thick natural foliage that covers large parts of the island, the first thing you notice about Vakkaru Maldives is the sense of privacy. From beachside villas enclosed by trees to the winding pathways between each gourmet restaurant, the natural seclusion at this resort is a major highlight of any stay.
Those eateries and lounge bars are in fact another draw. You can tuck into organic Asian cuisine or fine dining Italian, enjoy sunset overwater cocktails or healthy poolside bites here, Vakkaru Maldives takes its culinary offerings – and settings – very seriously indeed. The beachside and overwater villas are as stylish and well-equipped as any in the Maldives, all coming with ample floor plans, great views, daybeds, sun terraces and either a private pool, overwater hammocks, or both! An over-water spa, wellness centre, gym with personal training and tennis lessons available, watersports, sailing, private dining and plenty of activities for kids are just some of the many extra reasons to get excited about the irrefutable Vakkaru Maldives resort.
