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.
