Very good package, the Varu Plan includes several extras which I valued very much. The 3 a la cart restaurants are good and fine dining. The wines and spirits were of good quality, certainly above what I recognise from other All Inclusive services in other resources.
However, what is not included in the Varu Plan is extremely expensive. The trips, the 4th restaurant a la cart, etc, were high above what I was expecting and comparably higher than in other locations I visited in recent years.
Great service and always available to help. Clean rooms and awesome views. Private transfers via speedboat is an experience but be prepared if you have motion sickness.
The staff were so attentive and kind. We felt so well looked after. The whole process of the holiday was so seamless from the airport pick up right until our drop off back at the airport. The resort is truly paradise!

Fantastic hotel. Great staff, good restaurants, plenty of activities.
Our resort stay was incredible! The island is like heaven. The grounds are well kept, villas are super clean, the food and drinks are delicious, and all of the resort staff are world class! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect getaway for our honeymoon. Highly recommend.
We had an amazing time, a week of sun and no rain. Very organised transfer to and from Varu via speed boat. Our room was the water suite with endless views of the sea. Good selection of food at Lime and Chili. Teppanyaki was worth the extra cost, managed to book the restaurant without sharing it with other guests. All staff friendly and welcoming. Managed to get lots of things done on the Island from star gazing, spa treatments, watching the sun rise and set!

Varu is a wonderful Paradise
We arrived separately and were worried but there was no need. From pick up to last night meal everything was remarkable. Crystal water, fish, coral, sharks and rays just wow! Spectacular sunsets, beautiful weather, white sand beaches and fabulous facilities make Varu a must stay.
Absolutely incredible!!! The staff, food, customer service, hospitality- everything about this place was just great. Looking forward to returning to this resort soon. Highly recommend this place. Loved everything about it!!!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at VARU by Atmosphere and couldn’t have asked for a better Maldives experience. From the moment we arrived in Malé, everything was seamless. We were warmly greeted, assisted to the waiting speedboat, and welcomed at the resort by our amazing host, Aziza. She made check-in effortless, helped arrange our activities, and personally escorted us to our magnificent overwater villa. Throughout our stay, Aziza went above and beyond, providing daily updates and ensuring every detail was taken care of.
The restaurants were fantastic, especially Lime & Chilli, where we dined daily, along with memorable dinners at Charcoal & NU & KAAGE. The food and service were excellent, but what truly stood out was the warmth of the entire staff. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel like family, with thoughtful touches and special treats throughout our stay.
The resort also made my wife’s 50th birthday incredibly special, even decorating our bed with flowers & birthday decorations-a beautiful surprise we will always remember.
A huge thank you to Aziza, management (led by Neil), housekeeper Barsha & the entire VARU team for your exceptional hospitality and for making us feel so special. Everyone was lovely and I can name a few: Barakat, Saireddy, Barsha, Deepul, Lahufaan et al...Tho I only captured a few names, the entire team deserves a kudo We highly recommend VARU to anyone looking for a truly memorable Maldives getaway.
Thank you!
We love our stay at Varu. All the staff are extremely friendly. They started remembering our drink preferences after a day or two and are very attentive. Our room is always clean with great view. The water villa are on higher walkways so they do not recommend for younger kids but they were able to set up an extra sleep space for our son. We also appreciate the comprehensiveness of their all inclusive plan, including all food, drinks, alcohol, spa, excursion and water activties. We did not have to spend a lot extra to have a great experience.
Amazing resort for a quiet and relaxing getaway. Food was amazing at the buffet and all specialty restaurants. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The spa treatments were very professional and relaxing.
