Since opening in December 2017, Vakkaru Maldives has created world-class luxury experiences for travellers seeking the ultimate beach escape.

Other facilities include the magnificent overwater Merana Spa, with its extensive menu of Western and Ayurvedic holistic treatments and a regular transitional residency of the world’s most inspiring wellness practitioners. The Parrotfish Club and Coconut Club cater to children and teens. At the same time, guests of all ages can play against world-famous pros from Tipsarevic Luxury Tennis on the resort’s iconic cobalt -blue tennis courts – or enjoy the brand new Padel Tennis court (one of the only Padel courts in the Maldives where Vakkaru is embracing the demand for one of the fastest-growing sports in the world). The range of exhilarating water sports available at Splash make the most of the Maldives’ exceptional opportunities and include luxury yacht excursions and world-class dive adventures.

All the services and facilities are bound together by a unique hospitality concept, Vakkare, which places a sincere, proactive commitment to care at the core of its operations.
