Vakkaru Maldives

Vakkaru - welcome to paradise - welcome home. The fourth visit to the island also convinced me: beautiful island with lots of palm trees, perfect for snorkeling at the blue whole ( sharks, turtles…) Pure luxury - great restaurants, delicious food, extremely warm service, all wishes are taken care of in the restaurants (many thanks SK, Azam, Hafiz, Shaan, Ibbe and everyone!!!) . our water villa was always extremely clean, and our home for 14 wonderful days with private butler service (thanks Mr. Sato - you are the best) On Vakkaru you can experience Ian's Mc Cormack an Patrick Duffs modern leadership style - leadership culture - employer branding, environment and social!

Vakkaru Maldives has stolen our hearts forever! As our first time in the Maldives, all our expectations were surpassed. There is no other word to describe this place than PARADISE. At Vakkaru every little detail is taken care of by the most thoughtful staff. Special thanks to our butler, Emma, who made our stay the most special. From taking care of our agendas, to recommending the best activites and best snorkelling spots, Emma made our stay even more unforgettable, luxurious and personalised. Emma has a very high EQ, knows exactly when to come and help, when to leave her guests alone and allow for privacy. We travelled for our honeymoon and the level of attention we got was just perfect. The culinary experience is also one to remember, the restaurants are great, with large menus so that you cannot get bored. Retheesh, the sommelier, deserves a special mention for his impressive wine & champagne selection and his grand knowledge in this field. Always available for great recommendations for wine pairing. We were impressed by the level of quality of the food in light of being on an island, but being able to pair it with such a large variety of wine was just outstanding. Finally, we had the chance to try the Teppanyaki by chef Ganesh. It was a fun and highly gustative experience that we will remember for a very long time. Thank you so much. We will be back Vakkaru!

We chose Vakkaru (Baa) in the Maldives for our honeymoon destination(July 2023) and we couldn’t have made a better choice. This place is so magical! The crystal clear water, beautiful beach villas and the 360• stunning views are truly like no other place I’ve ever visited. Upon our arrival the GM Patrick, our coordinator Ksenia and other staff members were waiting there with big smiles to greet us. The restaurants at this Atol are superb, mouthwatering food, some of the best chefs in the world, good ambiance and attentive staff. Each restaurant Amaany, Omni, Vakku, Isoletta and Blue Lagoon were so special and unique. We appreciated all the special touches from the staff, the champagne, the “Happy Honeymoon” messages on the table and the managers coming over to chat with us, it elevated our entire experience. The Island is so lush and beautiful, such a dream to wake up there every day. There are various activities to keep you busy like yoga, tennis, snorkeling, riding your bike, the Game Center and a cinema are a few of many fun filled adventures. We started our day off with yoga, our instructor Naro was great with beginnners and challenged those that were more experienced. Naru gave us tips on how to improve and made every morning so serene. Our room keeper Niyaz (hurabé) kept the room nice and tidy, and added memorable gestures every day. We left extremely pleased but heartbroken as well, the staff created such a wonderful experience for us; I wish I could have brought them all home with us. Patrick, Nash, Ibbe, Almas, Isaam, Sanju, Grace, Rose, SK, Arif, Niyaz, Naro and Ksenia, thank you for the kindness, attentiveness, warm smiles and beautiful details. You all made our honeymoon so special and unforgettable; no detail went unnoticed. The people here make establishments like these top notch. We hope to see you in the near future, take care my friends. - Mr. + Mrs. Navarro

Vakkaru is very popular in Korea as honeymoon place. And I can say what I chose this place is my best decision all my life! I fully satisfied with the beautiful place here and the staff with warm heart and nice view, perfect conditions of villa. I had journey in here for 6 days so far and met lots of staff and they are always smiled and asked us “how’s your day? Or food?” Perfect at all. I made few friends here, first my butler “Iby” he is soooo nice person. There wasn’t late reply at all, just answer within 1min. Trust me, he is the best ever butler. Trying to help us all day long, really satisfied his warm heart. Pls see that cute pictures!!!! We fully impressed of it Also, we met “Rona” in Lagoon bar, we didn’t ever talked with other staff but he was different. We had common concerns and we already talked with his family! He is soooo nice guy, we were happy with his perfect service! And need to say about “Rijal” in Cabana. I cannot believe he is newbie in here cuz he is perfect guy of service! He asked us something need before we ordered, perfect service we had greatful time thanks to him “Arpana” in Cabana also remembered us at twice and always asked “2 hineken?” Made us so happy ☺️ Other then this people, all staff had warm heart and fully perfect service manner. Hope we can visit here again!

We spent a week at Vakkaru and really enjoyed it. We have been to several different islands in recent years and would rate Vakkaru very highly. The staff are very welcoming, never intrusive, but always there when you need them. We talked a lot with the staff, laughed and shared wonderful experiences. The food was always of very good quality. We visited almost every restaurant and were very satisfied everywhere. Our 5 year old daughter spent a lot of time in the Kids Club and was very happy. The care was so warm and the daily program very varied. The spa treatments were to our complete satisfaction. We have nothing negative to say about our week in Vakkaru.

We had amazing stay at Vakkaru. All staff were wonderful and made us feel special. Perfect balance of solitude and privacy with great restaurants and activities in a pristine unique environment. Would recommend a stay here. We miss it already.

Vakkaru was the perfect place to spend our honeymoon, everything was thoughtful, from our attentive butler Adu to the food in all of the various spots you can sit down to have a meal in the property. The place is insanely beautiful and the myriad of activities on offer won’t let you get bored for an instant if just laying down by the beach or the pool is not your thing. In short, plenty to do in this magical place.
