Set on its own island in Baa Atoll, a UNESCO biosphere reserve area, Vakkaru Maldives is a 5-star retreat with 113 villas and residences spread across beach and overwater settings. Rooms range from the Beach Villa with Plunge Pool up to multi-bedroom Beach Pool Residences and the standout Vakkaru Over Water Residence, giving couples and families a wide spread of privacy and space to choose from.
The island pairs an active list of facilities — tennis court, gym, spa and sauna, non-motorized water sports, diving and snorkeling — with quieter comforts like in-room mini bars, walk-in showers, bathrobes and private entrances. A swimming pool, concierge service and multiple restaurants and bars round out daily life on the island.
With a 9.5/10 guest rating from reviewers and rates starting around $689, Vakkaru sits toward the upper end of Baa Atoll's resort options, appealing to travellers who want a full-service island with generous villa categories rather than a compact, single-style property.
