Paradise personified

It is not often that a location lives up to its hype, but the Maldives certainly does and Varu made the experience a dream come true. We went for my 60th birthday with our teenage son, and friends with their son. We had two, two bedroom beach villas with plunge pool next to each other on the North shore and practically had a beach to ourselves. It was clear blue and whilst not on a reef, there was enough fish to enjoy whilst snorkelling with the complimentary equipment. The hotel is all inclusive and the warm, friendly staff were always happy to feed us and provide drinks whenever we wanted them. I would highly recommend going to the Haag and Nu restaurants. The first is traditional Maldivian and the latter seafood. Nu has the additional attraction of the sharks swimming around below you. (Harmless reef sharks unless you deliberately antagonise them) The Lime & Chilli buffet restaurant is also really good with lots to choose from and suits every taste, biggest risk is it is all so delicious you eat far too much. Lots of boats and snorkelling trips to choose from and whist not cheap are probably value for money. From the moment we were collected at the airport to the moment we were returned, we felt looked after and had a wonderful stress free holiday. One word of advice. We went in the off season, and whilst the odd intense rain shower is not a problem. (Best way to deal with it is to go in the sea and bob about until/it stops). There are mosquitos. Not enough to be too annoying, but worth taking the insect repellant, especially if you react badly to them. If you dream of an island hideaway for a stress free holiday. I very much recommend Varu.

The Varu was really satisfying. Everything was prepared. My host was Sobah, He was very delicate in managing his schedule and was kind. Thanks to him, I traveled comfortably. And The food was delicious, and every activity was great. In particular, among the serving people, Vita was so kind. And I love exercising. I thought I would never be able to work out in the Maldives, but there was a gym. Winston, who works there, taught me about exercise in detail, and he was very kind in his posture, which was very helpful. I think I will be able to exercise in a proper posture and not forget my teaching even when I go back to Korea. Thank you for making such great memories. Read less
