This was our first trip to the Maldives and our choice of island exceeded our expectations. Mind you we were looking for a small, quiet island, with no water bungalows, no pool and a laid back robinson crusoe atmosphere. We got everything we asked for. The bungalows are a tad "tired" but clean and cosy. A bit too noisy at... more

We have been visiting the Maldives for over 10 years and have been to a number of islands. Vakaru is our favourite; we have been 8 times. It is a perfect circular island that you can walk round on the beach ( many islands this is not possible). The reef is excellent and easily accessed from the beach. the individual... more

Honeymoon holidays tend to have to be something special. This was. Long flight but totally worth it. Very welcoming staff. Decided to move rooms on arrival due to the bungalow being close to a young family (not what you want on honeymoon!) and they moved us to a lovely spot near the spa. (Why do people bring children here?!?!?!? There's... more

We have now visited the Maldivian Islands 8 times and have found that each Island has it own qualities & differences. Fakarufalhi we found to be one of the best Islands we have visited to date and hopefully will return possibly next year, although they will closing in spring for water bungelows to be added. Food was excellent with a... more

We stayed at Vakaru for two weeks 23rd Sept. to 8th Oct. The Island was beautifull and all we had hoped it would be.The staff were all very friendly and efficient and we would like to say a big thank you to our waiter Waseem who was very good and always had a huge smile for us, also our room... more

After painstakingly reading about all the options in the Maldives, Vakarufalhi really ticked all the boxes for our honeymoon. Small island, dive centre and stunning location. When we arrived it exceeded all of our expectations. We took our shoes off on the first day and didn't put them back on until we were boarding the sea plane back (which is... more

We have just returned from Vakaru which was our 6th Island in 5 visits to the maldives and it was the best we had been to. We thougth the whole experience of the holiday was first rate and the accomodation, service and especially the food and people, were top class. We were treated extremely well and befriended the wonderful people... more

After last year's holiday on Komandoo which was excellent, we wondered whether it was wise to try another island. We need not have worried as Vakaru is as good. The rooms are not as stylish as Komandoo but there are compensating factors such as the beach which surrounds the whole island. This is quite unusual for the Maldives but it... more

We considerd Vakaru when looking at the Maldives but ended up booking Meeru Island. When we arrived at Meeru we found that they were offering a 3 day trip to Vakaru (they're both owned by the same company and Meeru had been overbooked) so we thought we would give it a try. Not a good move ! We were given... more
