VAKKARU MALDIVES

REDEFINES YOUR HOLIDAYS

FIVE YEARS AGO VAKKARU MALDIVES, PART OF BAA ATOLL, WELCOMED ITS FIRST GUESTS.
BRINGING THE BEST OF THE ISLAND EXPERIENCE, THE RESORT HAS MAINTAINED ITS TOP POSITION
IN THE MALDIVES EVER SINCE. HERE ARE FIVE REASONS YOU SHOULD BE THERE TOO.

And it’s just the beginning of the list which includes para-
sailing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding. The water
sport centre of the resort is stocked with Jet Boats, Manta
Bikes, Jet Skis, seabobs, kayaks, Top Cats and other water toys.
PARADISE FOR NATURE LOVERS
The island of Vakkaru was once a coconut plantation, and
the whole territory of the resort is covered in 2,300 mature
coconut palms reaching up to the immaculate white-sand
beaches. It is a perfect place for connecting with nature,
peaceful walks or family bike tours. For more engaging
activities, here you will find open-air floodlit tennis courts
and coaching from Tipsarevic Luxury Tennis, a new padel
tennis court, beach volleyball court and football pitch.
There’s also a fitness centre and a kids’ club, so every member
of your family can enjoy a fun-filled stay.

MESMERISING UNDERWATER WORLD
Only a few places in the world can compare in biodiversity
to the UNESCO-protected Baa Atoll. The underwater world
of the reserve abounds with fish of 1,200 species, including
Napoleon wrasses and tawny nurse sharks. It’s also home
to dolphins, green and hawksbill turtles as well as seabirds.
Moreover, from May to November hundreds of manta rays
and whale sharks gather for feeding in Hanifaru Bay. And you
as a guest of Vakkaru Maldives get a privileged location
for watching their majestic dance and snorkelling with these
gentle giants. There is also a spectacular house reef and two
blue holes just off shore. You can have a diving tour (or take
a PADI course), an underwater excursion with a resident
marine biologist or night snorkelling, swim with turtles,
watch shoals of fish from a glass bottom boat or sail on
a yacht with pods of dolphins splashing around you.
