“Great accommodation, food and service at the Vakkaru - must try the private wine cellar dining”

Oct 30, 2025P G

Wonderful stay at the Vakkaru. We had an ocean villa which was very comfortable. The food was consistently good across the various restaurants, in particular Lagoon Bar. Enjoyed the manta ray snorkelling, including with one amazing ray much bigger than a grown man. Also highly recommend the Vakkaru Reserve wine cellar private dining experience - Retheesh and Vasantha put together a great selection that complemented the food perfectly. The spa experience was also a cut above other spas, in particular masseuse Putu. Professional and warm service throughout from our butler Tina and other staff, too many to name.
