Welcome to Vakarufalhi
Island Resort Maldives |
|
Vakaru, tucked away in a remote corner in South Ari Atoll, is
90 kilometres from Male International Airport. Your holiday
really begins as the seaplane takes off from the airport lagoon.
The short 35-minute flight offers a breathtaking aerial view of
the atolls, the islands and countless reefs glistening like gems
in a sea of deep blue velvet.

Accommodation |
|
Most of the 50 on the island
are individual bungalows, all surrounded by the lush tropical
vegetation in all its natural splendour. Spread out around the
island offering complete privacy, all face the beach. Convenient
family accommodation is provided by opening up the interconnecting
doors between semi-detached bungalows, especially designed for
the purpose. Cool tiled floor offers welcome respite after a relaxing
day in the sun and the sea. Colourful tropical patterns on the
drapery add a touch of colour to the interiors. Large glass doors
facing the beach offer an excellent view of the bright colours
of the lagoon and your own area of the beach. In keeping with
the simplicity of the resort the rooms are spacious and airy,
tastefully furnished and with nice little details that remind
you that you are in the Maldives.
All rooms are air-conditioned,
with mini fridge, stereo CD player and hair dryer. A comfortable
rocking chair completes the picture. Each room has a small verandah
facing the beach where you may relax quietly in the comfortable
chairs provided. If you would like to sit and relax still closer
to the beach you may use your very own sun loungers placed right
in front of your room on the beach. The attached bathroom, partly
open air with a small garden, is equipped with bathtub and shower.
An additional shower in the small garden offers a pleasant choice
and allows stargazers to have a bath under the open sky.
