Vakkaru Maldives Resort Packages

Since its debut in 2017, Vakkaru Maldives has blossomed into a refined luxury sanctuary, where meticulous attention to detail and environmental stewardship remain at its core. The island’s lush, mature and beautifully kept foliage thrives, with winding pathways now enhanced by a chef’s garden and orchid sanctuary, adding bursts of colour and fragrance. The seamless blend of nature with luxury is a constant reminder of Vakkaru’s commitment to protecting its pristine environment.


The villas remain breathtaking, whether on land or over water. All beach villas now boast upgraded private pools and outdoor showers, enhancing a tropical, indulgent feel. The 1-bedroom and 4-bedroom over-water residences continue to impress with their contemporary, spacious design and understated luxury. Every villa is fastidiously maintained, ensuring a flawless stay.

Dining options have expanded delightfully. Onu, a new Southeast Asian restaurant, adds vibrant flavours to the lineup, while the intimate Anguru Teppanyaki table offers sizzling theatrics by the Cabana Bar. Vakku Grill remains a favourite, now hosting occasional beach BBQ nights with extensive cooking stations, atmospheric lighting, and live music under the stars. Main restaurant Amaany's breakfast service would benefit from further enhancements to match the resort’s overall excellence.

The Lagoon Bar sets the scene for sunset cocktails paired with delicious canapés, creating a relaxed yet chic vibe, while mixologist Sagar at the Cabana Bar dazzles with the perfect Angelfish Cocktail and his inventive variations—smoked rosemary-infused Angelfish Breeze or the spicy Fiery Angelfish. Wine enthusiasts will find joy in the stylish Vakkaru Reserve’s curated tastings.

Facilities continue to impress. The over-water spa, with its superb Balinese massages and lagoon-view relaxation area, is a haven of tranquillity. Families are well catered for: the Parrotfish Kids Club (accepting children from age three, or younger with babysitters) and the Coconut Club’s teen-friendly activities and lounge areas ensure all ages are entertained. Active guests will appreciate the new Padel court alongside pristine tennis courts.

Snorkelling remains a highlight. The house reef teems with varied and colourful marine life. Numerous reef sharks glide near the Splash dive centre, while eagle rays patrol the drop-offs. Though coral recovery is ongoing (a widespread challenge), a kayak trip to the Blue Hole reveals resilient formations and colossal parrotfish. For a magical encounter, the private speedboat excursion to Turtle Point still delivers gentle, memorable drifts alongside turtles in crystal waters.

Vakkaru Maldives continues to be a standout property. Service is exemplary, blending warmth with precision, while dedicated butlers anticipate needs with quiet expertise. For understated luxury married with a profound respect for nature, and everything you could realistically want from a Maldivian holiday, Vakkaru deepens its charm on every visit and confidently cements its spot on our “Highly Recommended” list.
