In preparation for reopening, Vakkaru Maldives has also launched an elevated hygiene procedure called ‘Vakkare’. The resort’s dedicated team are being trained to deliver the most hygienic attention possible from the moment they arrive into their ‘Kare’, providing Vakkaru Maldives’ guests with the confidence that they will enjoy an exceptional vacation in the most-safe surroundings.
“Escape awaits, and we can’t wait to welcome you back,” a statement by the resort read. “Vakkaru Maldives will reopen on 1 August, with every conceivable measure in place to ensure your stay is as serene and stress-free as can be.”
