The bed is soft and comfortable to sleep. The area for snorkeling is very safe even for person who’s not good at swimming. You can also find everything you need in the room.

⸻ A Soulful Escape into Wellness and Nature Vakkaru Maldives is more than a luxury resort—it’s a sanctuary for the soul. From the moment I stepped onto the island, I felt a deep sense of peace and grounding. Surrounded by pristine nature, crystal-clear waters, and thoughtful design, everything invites you to slow down, reconnect, and breathe. One of the most profound parts of my stay was the wellness experience. I had the privilege of joining morning yoga sessions with Praveen, whose gentle energy, wisdom, and intuitive teaching made each class feel like a moving meditation. It helped me return to myself. Equally powerful was my Reiki session at the overwater spa—a deeply healing experience that left me feeling rebalanced, open, and light. The practitioner held such calm, nurturing energy, and I felt a shift not just physically, but emotionally and energetically. It was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. Beyond wellness, every detail at Vakkaru reflects intention. The overwater villa was a haven of tranquility, where every sunrise felt like a private miracle. The food—nourishing, flavorful, beautifully presented—added to the feeling of deep care and luxury. Every staff member radiated warmth and grace, creating an atmosphere of ease and genuine hospitality. Vakkaru is a place where time slows down, where luxury meets presence, and where you are gently reminded of the beauty of stillness. It’s the kind of place that stays with you, long after you leave. I came home with more than memories—I brought back clarity, calm, and a full heart. Already dreaming of my return. Read less

I didn't expect this beauty! Just so beautiful, out of this world! Everywhere you go, it's just paradise. I like how the marine life is protected here since it's within UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. You can just go down your overwater villa and snorkel. My daughter loved it! She enjoyed snorkeling a lot and swimming with the sea creatures. We had a great time here. I would definitely recommend Vakkaru for families and couples. It's a very family friendly resort. Parrot Fish Club is a plus! They have a lot of activities for kids all day while we, parents, can go for a spa. Special thanks to our Butler, Juman, for making our trip extra special! Those sand arts that he makes by our door every night are beautiful and amazing! That last night sand art is special with a powerpuff girl (Buttercup) that says "see you soon". My daughter loved it! She's a fan! Juman pays attention to our conversations with him. Those "little things" are special! He even remembers it's our 11th wedding anniversary. He also prepared a very nice bubble bath for my daughter. Thank you, Juman! All staff were amazing! Very welcoming. Always greeting you with our names, not just ma'am or sir. Very personalized service. Ted is always going around, making sure guests are having a good time. Everybody speaks really good English. It's also a plus that there are Filipino staff here, makes us feel more at home, too. So many great memories in just 3 nights. All the restaurants we tried, were really good! There's a lot of choices here! Breakfast had a lot of different food, too! They have different smoothies every morning and some morning mocktails. The lime with salt and pepper on the brim was great! My wife and I enjoyed the spa! The view while you're looking down was stunning! You get a view of the water. Our overwater villa had a great view! We wish we could've stayed longer. Our bikes! We miss riding our bikes around the resort, day and night, with our names on it. Hoping we'll be back next year! Thank you, Vakkaru team for making our anniversary trip and summer break trip extra special. We will never forget it! Kudos to our photographer for the stunning drone videos and drone pictures! Glad we did this last minute. Read less
