THE MALDIVIAN SPIRIT

Authentic local experiences and world-class amenities define a stay at the dreamy VARU by Atmosphere.

LOCATED ON THE Madivaru island in North Malé Atoll, VARU by Atmosphere is a 40-minute speedboat ride away from Velana International Airport. Your holiday begins as soon as you set foot on the resort’s jetty; the team welcomes you with spirited boduberu drumming and conch shell music.

The resort offers 108 villas across eight categories. Whether you decide to bask in the sun on an overwater deck or lounge in your private garden, nature is always at your disposal. The three Majlis Suites are ideal for multi-generational family holidays; each features two bedrooms, a central courtyard with a pool, an oceanfront dining and living room, and a nanny’s bedroom. You can also opt for the one-of-a-kind Water Suite or the expansive Family Villas, which boast kid-friendly features. Moreover, all guests at VARU enjoy The

VARU Plan™, which encompasses all elements of a hassle-free holiday.

At the heart of the experience at VARU by Atmosphere are its F&B offerings: four restaurants and a pool bar. Think live cooking stations, fresh seafood, and themed nights at Lime & Chili, the main all-day restaurant located by the beach; progressive Maldivian cuisine at Kaagé, which sports local architecture; and the best of Mediterranean, Italian, and French cuisine at Nü, the romantic overwater restaurant. varu-atmosphere.com
