Incredible location, settings, amenities and staff. Loved the charm of my beach villa, surrounded by lush landscaping and just steps from the water, and immensely enjoyed the luxury of the water villa. So glad I decided to upgrade. The sea life right under it was amazing! Baby blacktip sharks, rays, large crabs and so many fish were daily visitors, loved the ability to snorkel right off my steps. The snorkeling on the outer reef of the island was the best snorkeling in the world for me, and I’ve snorkeled Great Barrier Reef, all Hawaiian Islands and numerous Caribbean Islands... The water was very clear, and I’ve never seeing so much Sea life I’m one place... Loced the excursions as well, one of my highlights was snorkeling above 4 enormous mantas. Theiy were so graceful! The food at the resort was excellent, buffet style, and I was pleasantly surprised at a huge selection, specially at lunch and dinner. The island is small, you can walk around its perimeter in less than 10 minutes. I’m already missing my sunrise walks. Can’t wait to return!

25th Wedding Anniversary.
We booked this holiday last minute for our 25th Wedding Anniversary and really did not know what to expect. Wow, it was just beautiful. Flying over in the Sea Plane looking at the Maldives from the air, then getting to our stunning island, Vakarufalhi. The Staff were very friendly and smiley and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent, with a very varied selection of meat, fish, veg and fresh fruit. It seemed like there was very few people on the island as it was so quiet and peaceful, and only realised when going to the restaurant how people were there. We booked a romantic meal on the beach, the food and atmosphere were amazing. Our only critism would be that if you are arriving at the island at about 2ish, you are rushed to get food and after a long flight and not knowing what to expect, we just wanted to rest for a while, had we been told that it was a buffet on arrival, we could have got something and taken it to our room. When leaving the island in the afternoon, lunch is not included in the all inclusive, you have to pay for any food after 12. This is just a minor point, and did not affect our holiday in the slightest are are looking forward to booking Vaku for next year. It was just what we needed. The island has a wonderful reef, with excellent snorkelling and extra activities, paddle boarding, diving, sailing, canoeing and excursions.

House reef was beautiful and the marine life was plentiful and colorful despite the bleached corals (worldwide occurrence and not specific to this location). The staff were amazing and very friendly. The water villa was very spacious, comfortable and kept very clean. It always felt like we were alone on the island despite the resort being fully booked the entire week we were there.The attached dive shop was excellent and provided exceptional service. The food was good. Will definitely reccomend and return to this beautiful piece of paradise

Amazing hotel. Very small so if you are looking for more sctivites may not be for you. Excursions are done daily but you have to sign up for them and they need x amount of people to sign before they actualky do it. We went bere to relax so no exclurions needed. Service is amazing and food was great. We did all inclusive and food and drinks were good. Note food and drinks are during specific times. Drinks are 10am-11pm and the mini bar is not included. Food is also during specific times. Spa was okay kind of generic. We also did the romantic dinner on the beach with lobster dinner and the food was amazing. Highly recommend this resort.

Sandy, white and pristine beaches are an ideal!
I have dreamed of a holiday in the Maldives for many years. As an experienced scuba diver, this destination has been on my bucket list for a long time. A friend recommended Vakarufalhi Island Resort and I was not disappointed. I was treated like a princess by all staff, bar one and I’ll get to that later! My partner and I stayed at the resort for 10 days over Christmas. The wait staff looked after us like royalty at the ‘Water Bungalow Restaurant’. The bar staff had drinks ready for us, on the bar, as we walked in the door. The food was outstanding. I have never seen, nor tasted so many different cuisines. The chefs were brilliant! It was wonderful to feel the sand between my toes in the bar, the lounge and reception areas. The feast at Xmas was spectacular, particularly all the ice sculptures created in the dessert buffet room. Yes, it was an entire room of puddings and cakes. I have never witnessed such a spectacle. The extra $ for the delicious dinner was definitely worth it!

Truly Paradise
There are no words to describe this resort, no pictures to do the scenery justice and not enough thanks can be given to the staff that make every day hour and minute and absolute perfect experience. Unless we return to this exact spot, I do not believe we’ll ever find another place comparable to this one If you have a chance, please please please take the opportunity to visit Vakarufahli...you will not be sorry!!
