Our time spent at Vakkaru was absolutely incredible! This was our first time at the Maldives, and we could not have chosen a better resort. Vakkaru has a great mixture of lush jungle and forest, immaculately designed modern over water bungalows, multiple delicious restaurants, water excursions that kept us entertained for days, and more. We had a personal butler from the time we arrived to the time we left who took care of everything for us and made sure we had a perfect stay. I will be recommending Vakkaru to everyone I know and cannot wait to return!

Where to begin?! We had the best time of our lives on this trip. We were unable to make our flight to the Maldives when originally planned, but the resort was so accommodating and flexible to let us modify our trip itinerary so we could still be at Vakkaru for the original amount of travel days. Mahmoud was our butler for our stay and was very professional, friendly, and always thinking of ways to make our time at the resort extra special. We cannot thank him enough! The staff as a whole was remarkable and very attentive to our needs. We loved all the snorkeling activities and relaxing. The room was breathtaking along with the incredible views of sunrises and sunsets. The weather was perfect and the food was delicious! The spa was a dream as well. House service and cleaning staff with also excellent! We need to thank Kristie at Indulge Maldives travel agency for making this all possible and giving us this recommendation! Thank you Vakkaru for everything!

The island is spectacular with its cristal clear turquoise water, tons of coconut palms and beautiful beaches. Sunsets from restaurant Vakku and/or Lagoon Bar is one of the
most beautiful things we ever experienced! We really love the ambience and all the venues! Try all the restaurants if you have the opportunity!
We stayed in a beach pool villa (2 adults and 2 kids), the best accommodation we ever had! Spacious, clean and with a large newly built pool and a “own” beach just outside!
We stayed over Halloween and were so impressed by all the work, decorations, events etc the staff did!
To be honest- every staff you meet is extremely kind, service minded, professional and warm so in order to not forget anyone we stick to thank you all for making our vacation a dream come true but an extra thanks to our butler Naaish and housekeeper Ahmed 🙏
