Vakarufalhi Maldives

Friday Night is Maldivian Night on Vakarufalhi, where everybody on the island has to wear a sarong.  Sarongs are the local dress in the Maldives, usually worn by men.  During the afternoon, staff on the island teach the guests the different ways how to tie the sarong, and in the evening everyone hopes that it doesn’t slip off.

Dinner itself also has a local touch, and below are just some of the local dishes on offer: (more…)

Vakarufalhi Water Bungalows Maldives

I am sure you are all quite curious about what the water bungalows on Vakarufalhi look like.

Whaleshark Vakarufalhi Maldives

Today Rachel & Jay, 2 volunteers from the Maldives Whaleshark Research Program came to visit us and provide us with some insight into their work.

Vakarufalhi Maldives

After a hard day soaking up the rays, diving with mantas and whalesharks, Vakarufahli has the perfect way to unwind.

Instead of the 3 treatment rooms on the beach  (”old Vakarufalhi”) they now offer 6 stunning over-the-water treatment rooms. The photo shows the Spa at sunset – don’t you wish you were here???
