Our stay at Vakkaru Maldives was nothing short of perfect — a true escape to paradise. From the stunning turquoise waters to the beautifully maintained villas, every detail exceeded our expectations. We were especially lucky to have Tina as our butler during this trip. From the very beginning, she made us feel welcomed and genuinely cared for.
