Maldives, Indian Ocean

5 stars

Imagine this - waking up in a private piece of paradise in the Indian Ocean, surrounded by palm trees and soft white sand. You don't need to imagine that when you're at VARU. But it's not just about spending your days relaxing in the warm sun by the pool or on the beach, you can spend your days trying out the action-filled water sports, snorkelling on the two included excursions per day you can take a dive and see the wonderful sea life as many times as you like. All of that is topped off with a choice of 4 restaurants including 3 fine dining options, such as Kaage the award winning Maldivian restaurant, NU serving Mediterranean Sea Food and Charcoal Beach Grill all part of the plan based on length of stay, plus luxury spa treatments included based on length of stay and more. And that's before you step into your own private villa, complete with your own pool if you wish. Staying with the family, then upgrade to one of the magnificent Majlis Residences, complete with 3 bedrooms and private pool and garden.

Fantastic review! "I stayed at Varu By Atmosphere in the Maldives and I can say it was simply fantastic! The staff was exceptional, especially Firey, who was really kind, welcoming, and always available. The island is stunning, the villa was spotless, and the service was impeccable. The food was good and very varied, a real treat! I can only recommend this resort to everyone. Thanks Firey for your hospitality, I'll definitely be back!
