Our stay at Vakkaru Maldives was nothing short of perfect — a true escape to paradise. From the stunning turquoise waters to the beautifully maintained villas, every detail exceeded our expectations. We were especially lucky to have Tina as our butler during this trip. From the very beginning, she made us feel welcomed and genuinely cared for.

Our Honeymoon at Vakkaru Maldives – A Perfect Paradise We spent an unforgettable week at Vakkaru Maldives for our honeymoon, and it truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, everything felt like a dream — the stunning scenery, the peaceful atmosphere, and the impeccable service all came together to create the perfect getaway. A very special thank you to our butler, Juman, who took such great care of us throughout our stay. From arranging every detail with such kindness and professionalism, to being there whenever we needed anything, Juman made us feel so welcome and at home. We’d also like to thank Naail from the Coconut Club, who brought so much fun and positive energy to our time there. Playing games and chatting with him was one of the highlights of our trip. And we cannot forget the lovely lady who welcomed us at Amaany on our first breakfast. Though we didn’t catch her name, we remember her warm smile, stylish glasses, and her recommendation to try the chapati — it was absolutely delicious and made our first morning extra special. Thank you so much for that beautiful start to our day. Vakkaru is not just a beautiful resort, but a place full of heart. We’re leaving with unforgettable memories and so much gratitude. We hope to return one day! Read less
