LOCATION
| Vakaru, tucked away in a remote
corner in South Ari Atoll, is 90 kilometers from Male’
International Airport. Your holiday really begins as the seaplane
takes off from the airport lagoon. Have your cameras ready at
hand during your transfer to the resort.
The short 25 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
Although
you may feel like Robinson Crusoe on this tiny tropical paradise
of ours, there is no lack of comforts when it comes to accommodation.
Most of the 50 rooms on the island are individual bungalows,
all surrounded by the lush tropical vegetation in its entire
natural splendor. 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. Colorful tropical patterns on the drapery
add a touch of color to the interiors. Large glass doors facing
the beach offer an excellent view of the bright colors 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 and features two single or one
king sized bed, overhead ceiling fan, sitting area, stocked
mini bar, IDD telephone, stereo CD player and hair dryer. 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 with hot water and
bath accessories. An additional shower in the small garden offers
a pleasant choice and allows stargazers to have a bath under
the open sky. |
DINING
AND BARS
Basic
meal plan at Vakarufalhi is full board, in addition we all
also offer all inclusive and beverage with meals. All meals
are served in the Ilaa Restaurant and snacks are available
at the Ihaa Bar in the afternoons.
Located close to each other, both are designed to create an
air of simple relaxation. High conical thatched roofs, layered
fine white sand under your feet and a great view of the sea
creates an excellent tropical atmosphere in both the Ilaa
Restaurant and the Ihaa Bar.
Out door dining is also available in the island, be it the
beach in front of the room or any other location, the experience
truly unique.
The meals at the Ilaa Restaurant are planned out to give you
an excellent variety of delicious cuisine during your stay
at Vakarufalhi. While breakfast and lunch are served buffet
style, a more varied programme is on offer at dinner. Four
nights of buffet with a varying international cuisine including
Asian, European and Maldivian with a weekly barbecue is offered.
For the remaining three nights, two nights of combination
buffet & a la carte and one evening of complete a la carte
dinner when your complete meal will be served to your table
is in our regular programme.
There are always enough choices for vegetarians available
and people with special dietary requirements are also catered
for. The remoteness of the island does not limit your dining
choices, try the outdoor dining adventures offered at the
island.
Starting
with simple candle lit dinner, endless journey of steamboat
and BBQ dinner where your choice of food will be cooked by
you on your dinner table to the very exclusive desert island
couple only dinners are served.

lagoon as you cool down with a cold beer after a few hours
in the sun. Sit under a starlit sky on the spacious wooden
deck that extends from the bar on to the beach. Sip your favorite
cocktail from the extensive cocktail menu or better still
enjoy the finest cocktails created by the barman specially
for you. Stocked with the finest wines, champagnes nice decent
beers and liquors, the bar opens in the morning and closes
when the last guest leaves.

to let you enjoy the tropical sunset with your feet in the
water while gazing at the setting sun, enjoying your favorite
cocktail in hand.

Procedures
at the airport are casual and informal. Once you pass through
immigration and customs our airport representative will meet
you to escort you to the seaplane check-in counter. A quick
check-in that rarely takes over a minute and you are off to
the seaplane departure lounge. An unforgettable flight of 25
minutes offering the most beautiful aerial view you will ever
experience, a short journey by ‘dhoni’ from the
landing platform, and you are on Vakaru.
Your arrival and departure transfers will be arranged prior
to your arrival. Your departure time and the scheduled time
of your transfer is displayed at the reception one day ahead.
Our rep will meet you at the airport at departure too, to help
you with the simple departure formalities.

however, most of the airline tickets now include this charge
for your convenience. |
SPORT
Your holiday
at Vakarufalhi would obviously be one of complete relaxation.
However if you feel like some action the resort offers you a
few choices in land and water sports. Of course no one would
want the peace to be disturbed. At Vakaru we do not offer any
motorized water sports that may ruin your quite day on the beach.
Table tennis, outdoor badminton court and dart board are offered
for those who feel like some action. Bats and rackets are available
at the resort free of charge. A volleyball court and a mini
football ground provide the opportunity for those who prefer
a harder game. Enjoy an afternoon game with the staff. Often
mixed teams of staff and guests provide some fun not only for
the players but for the onlookers as well.
As one of the best places in the world for water sports, the
resort has a water sports centre operated by ProDivers. It offers
Catamaran sailing, windsurfing and canoeing. Beginners are offered
the opportunity to learn windsurfing or catamaran sailing with
an experienced member from the water sports centre, while the
more skilled can rent the equipment at their own leisure. For
a special day’s excursion, you can hire a catamaran for
an island hopping or snorkeling excursion. One of the water
sports centre staff always accompanies you on such excursions.
