Located in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, Vakkaru Maldives is a private reef island sanctuary offering secluded luxury, unspoiled nature, and exceptional experiences.
Once a coconut plantation and now home to over 2,300 mature coconut trees, the island is surrounded by powder-soft white sands, a vibrant house reef, and easy access to Hanifaru Bay famous for manta ray encounters (May to November).
The resort features elegant, nature-inspired design, crafted by Dutch firm OT Design, and a dine-around concept with diverse culinary experiences including teppanyaki, organic garden dining, and curated destination settings. Perfect for couples and families alike, Vakkaru offers spacious villas, a kids’ club, babysitting services, tailored spa journeys, and world-class facilities including tennis courts, paddle, and watersports. Wine lovers will enjoy the award-winning Vakkaru Reserve, showcasing 680+ fine wine labels.
