This means plenty of distraction, fun and games for the entire family in a safe and totally relaxing environment. The perfect holiday really.


Vakkaru has a genuinely exciting and packed program of events and activities
We don’t often call activity programs exciting because, let’s be honest, sometimes they are a little mundane. But Vakkaru is very different and innovative. Just take a look at some of these:
Adult activities
Six restaurants to choose from makes dining varied and highly enjoyable with several themed evenings from global Christmas cuisine to Latino nights and champagne & lobster dinner

Out to sea – they take you on a different exploration like a dolphin cruise, atoll exploration, snorkelling with turtles, scuba diving or wakeboard and water skiing.
Learning fun stuff like the Art of Mixology, workshops on hairstyling and hair care, natural bissé therapy, Gua Sha traditional Chinese medicine . . .

A little about The Maldives and Vakkaru’s atoll . .
The Maldives was a stopping off point for seafarers and traders from Sri Lanka, India, Africa, Malaysia, Indonesia and Persia. All left their cultural mark, which makes the 1,200 islands very unique and fascinating. Around 200 are inhabited islands and another 140 are resort islands like the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll where Vakkaru is situated.
The hotel is about an hour of incredibly scenic flying by sea plane from Malé International Airport (aka Velana) near the Maldives’s capital island, Malé.
Vakkaru island is more than a very beautiful vista of turquoise sea and white sands. It’s an extraordinary experience that will remain stamped in your memory forever.
