Book a Kanifushi Resort

"Our trip to the Maldives at Vakkaru was a dream come true. We were blessed with perfect weather and amazing experiences, like swimming with mantas, thanks to Sato's exceptional care. Breakfast was always a highlight, thanks to Azzam's warm welcome and guidance through the buffet. Meeting Ankita and Sajith added to our joy, with Sajith's incredible coffee art and cocktails. Ahoo even helped us capture perfect moments on the swings. The massages by Ana and Neva were the best we've ever had. Rijai's humor made lunchtime unforgettable. Overall, Vakkaru's service was impeccable, and we'll cherish our memories forever. If you're considering a trip to the Maldives, Vakkaru is a must!"

"Great new property. For price paid was amazing. We were a little weary of being a new resort and some of the mixed reviews, but we are overly impressed, and happy we chose Avani. We followed this stay with Four Seasons on the same atoll, was a great duo. The price comparison is astounding, and so for what we paid here, the value of this property and its experience far exceeded our hopes! Our only negative experience, is the pool staff are not quite up to par in service, not eager to serve and seem bothersome. However, EVERY WHERE else they superseded!"

"The best island we've been to. Beautiful nature, fantastic food, great spa. "

"Very good. Friendly staffs."

"Beautiful, relaxing resort. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The seaplane transfer from and back to Male airport was effortless thanks to the helpful staff at the airport and at the resort. On our last night at the resort, staff at the restaurant surprised us with a special table, decorated with a dolphin of colored rice, which was delightful. When we left the resort, staff assembled at the seaplane pier to bid us farewell and wish us safe travels and a pleasant trip, which was very heartwarming. We stayed in both a beach villa and a lagoon villa over the water. We definately recommend this resort, especially the lagoon villa, and hope to visit again."

"It is a beautiful and quiet island (depending on the volume of the other guests). There’s plenty of fish around the island to make snorkeling very interesting. The staff were very accommodating by letting is check in early and check out late. It was much appreciated. Communication with the staff was sometimes difficult. Before checking in, I emailed the staff to ask a couple of questions, but the reply was not very helpful. The same on check out. Also, the representative was not at the airport when we arrived for the seaplane transfer."
