Vakkaru Maldives has appointed Mohamed Ahmed ‘Max’ Didi as its Revenue and Reservations Manager.

Before joining Vakkaru, Max had been serving as the Revenue and Reservations Manager at Fushifaru Maldives where he had been instrumental in opening the resort and putting it on the map as a leading new resort in the Maldives.

Resilient, level-headed, hard-working and strong-willed, Max brings over 15 years of experience in sales, reservations and revenue management. He has worked with leading Indian Ocean hospitality brands such as Naiade Resorts, and Centara Hotels & Resorts.

Located in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa atoll and accessible by a 25-minute seaplane flight from the main Velana International Airport, Vakkaru is a secluded tropical island resort blessed with timeless ocean views, white sandy beaches and nurtured by nature.
