My husband and I celebrated our honeymoon and had the best trip of our lives! They food, atmosphere, and service exceeded all expectations! Everyone was so kind and helpful, especially our butler Yana. She went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. We had the best snorkeling experience and felt safe and comfortable at all times. I could not recommend this resort more! By far our new favorite place.

The resort is amazing. The water is crystal clear and a great temperature. There are lots of different types of fish around the island in the reefs which were so much fun to look at while snorkelling. We even saw a turtle a couple of times.
The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the restaurants were all fantastic. They all had great food with a great selection of options. Our favourites were Onu and Vakku for dinner and the Lagoon Bar was our personal favourite for lunch. Sanju was very friendly and a great host for us every day at the Lagoon Bar.
Our butler Yana was so helpful and friendly and gave us great recommendations during our trip. She helped make our trip to Vakkura our favourite holiday we have been on.
The Spa was also 5 star. My wife and I had a couples massage. I chose the deep tissue massage and my wife went for the volcanic stone massage. Both were amazing!

We went to vakkaru for our 8th wedding anniversary. Words cannot describe how absolutely perfect our stay was. My wife and I are seasoned travelers and are lucky to have stayed all over the world at four seasons, ritz Carlton, st Regis etc. We have never experienced anything like this in terms of the service, food and scenery. Coming from the us, the journey was very long but I can honestly say that in this case it was well worth it.
The moment we arrived our butler Adhil could not do enough for us. He was there for us literally whenever we needed him to bring us around the resort or help us with really anything at all.
The level of service and detail here is unlike anything else we have ever experinced. All staff are smiling, genuinely happy and know you by name. They literally never say no and will trip over each other to satisfy anything you could ever want. Again, being from
the US, we are used to good service but never anything quite like this.
The food here was to die for as well. Our favorite places were onu for the Indian/thai cuisine and lagoon bar for sunset cocktails. We never had a bad meal here and that is saying something as my wife and I are rather snobbish about food but can honestly say that this was some of the best food we have ever had
We had two spa treatments at mera a spa which were absolutely sensational and worth every penny. Do your self a favor and opt for the Balinese massage on one day and the ayuredevic massage another day. Heaven!
We have never seen a beach quite like this in all of our travels. Photos don’t do justice. You can literally see straight to the bottom and the ocean was warm and crystal clear.
We were able to sleep like babies with a million dollar view from our villa. Unbelievable. The bed was so comfy and cold and refreshing. Snorkeling from our room direct into the Indian Ocean is something that we will never forget. You could see sting rays, nurse sharks and all kinds of colorful fish straight from your villa
We liked that the resort was large but not so full as it seemed that we saw a lot of the same couples and families out at dinner and made friends that we will stay in touch with. Kind of like a white lotus vibe in a sense.
We went snorkeling with manta rays as the resort offers excursions to world famous nearby hanifaru bay and got to swim with turtles too!
We loved being able to take our bikes down the lush jungle paths whenever we wanted or if were tired or lazy or dressed up for dinner, our butler would take us on demand in his buggy
My wife and I took this trip and left our two daughters, 6 and 1 years of age, for the first time with her mother and this was a trip that we’ll never forget. As a matter of fact we are already counting down to when our youngest is old enough to come and snorkel with us as we will def be lifers here at the resort
One thing to keep in mind is that it is quiet and luxurious and the vibe is more of romance and relaxation. There is live music and house dj music but if you are looking for a party scene like in a cruise this is not it. This is more barefoot luxury, relax, be pampered and spoiled
If you want the ultimate in relaxation, luxury, beauty, world class food and snorkeling, look no further. You have found it. This place sets the standard.

Everything was perfect!

Everything was perfect. The food was delicious, and the kindness of Butler Cora was superb! It was nice to see many sharks and rays. And.dinner is really good in Lagoon bar. The staff at Lagoon bar were all kind. I would love to come back next time if I have a chance.
Exceptional Resort!
