This festive season, luxury resort Vakkaru Maldives has no reason to down the celebrations after being the three-times winner at the 2020 World Travel Awards. Just 3 years since its doors opened in the Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the private-island retreat has been crowned Indian Ocean’s Leading Resort 2020 and its immense signature four-bedroom overwater villa The Residence has been named both Maldives’ Leading Hotel Suite 2020 and Indian Ocean’s Leading Hotel Suite 2020.
The World Travel Awards has been acknowledging, rewarding and celebrating excellence across all key sectors of the travel, tourism and hospitality industries for the past 27 years. The Awards are recognised internationally as an arbiter of excellence in the luxury travel sector. These latest awards act as evidence of Vakkaru Maldives’ position as one of the country’s most exciting and inviting luxury resorts.
The win comes not long after the launch of Vakkaru’s innovative new hospitality concept Vakkare. A commitment to providing the utmost care in all its forms, this enhanced service standard sees all members of the Vakkaru team make sincere and creative effort to surpass guest expectations.
