Vakkaru is number one hotel I have never been, service is excellent in Vakkaru. Overall foods experience we really enjoy. We had a wonderful time in Spa as therapist is very experience and talent. Housekeeping service very well organized and professional, special thanks to Yasir our housekeeper. And we had a wonderful butler Adel as he is helping out entire stay professional and attentive.

⸻|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.

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.

We spent the most amazing 6 nights here in Vakkaru and couldn’t be happier with our choice. We love snorkeling and the house reef is definitely a gem! We were greeted by the rays and sharks each morning and were very lucky to be able to see dolphins, sea turtles and manta ray through all the excursions that we signed up for. It’s truly been an experience of a lifetime that will be etched in our memories forever.||We have stayed in a lot of luxurious hotels but what sets Vakkaru apart is the hospitality and the people. Everyday we were shown world class attention to detail services and beautiful smiles. Good sense of humour and the expertise of understanding just the right amount of conversation leaving you the space to retreat to your own privacy and relaxation. ||Special mention to our butler Fathih who took the best care of us, especially during the stormy weather. Our housekeeper Sodiq, who in his own quiet little creative ways cheered us up each day and night with the bed arts, like a magical invisible hands and last but not least, the sommelier Reteesth (sorry if I spelled your name incorrectly) whom we shared delightful conversation each night. And the Splash team who expertly guided us through the excursions and gave us the experience of a lifetime! Thanks Vakkaru for lightening our spirits as we escape from the stressful city life.||We are already looking forward to come back and make this our home away from home. Cheers!

Vakkaru Maldives is pure honeymoon heaven! This stunning island paradise offered us newlyweds absolute magic. The turquoise waters shimmered, the sugar-soft sands felt divine beneath our feet, and our private overwater villa was pure romance. Snorkeling vibrant coral reefs hand-in-hand and unwinding at the luxurious spa created unforgettable moments. Every detail whispered luxury and tranquility, perfectly crafted for couples in love. Vakkaru gave us the dream start to our marriage – pure bliss etched in our hearts forever. A perfect paradise found.

We are giving Vakkaru Maldives 5 stars after an amazing week on the island! ||The staff is some of the most welcoming, friendly and sincere hospitality people we have ever met. ||Everything from food, activity options, the facilities as well as the nature was spotless. ||A special thanks goes to our housekeeper Mr. Sodiiq who mad an outstanding job - without doubt the housekeeper 🙏🏻 ||Best regards and see you again, ||Cecilie and Mads

The stay was amazing, very luxurious. We were taken care of as queens. The reception, the welcome drink and sweets, the food in the restaurants was spectacular especially the breakfast, the spa view was magical, the service and the workers were all amazing, welcoming. The rooms were clean, the service was very fast. I would like to give a huge shout out and big thank you to Tina who helped in everything to make our stay memorable. She even arranged for me three wheel bicycle because I didn’t know how to ride two wheeler. Tina went above and beyond, she is a marvelous and welcoming soul. Special thanks to Joseph who made us yum yum food and the experience we had at the dinner was amazing, also to Dora who helped me during my dive and was very gentle and helpful and showed me the clown fish, to Ahmed who showed me the turtle and made my day. Honestly, If I knew the names of everyone, I would like to thank them one by one. Thank you for this amazing trip that I will never forget 🤍
