VARU by ATMOSPHERE


Covid-19 Assurance

Should you test positive in resort, you can take your quarantine period in a villa in a separate wing of the resort*, enjoying the outdoor space of your private veranda and/or private pool. You’ll still avail of the resort’s superb all-inclusive offering which will be brought direct to your room.

According to The Telegraph, the newest and most exclusive of Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts’ Malé atoll offering, VARU by Atmosphere, is “smart yet down to earth and social in equal measures – with everything you want a flick of a beach towel away”.

Villas – set either beachfront or overwater - have the option of their own 10m² private plunge pool. All have the same understated yet contemporary character, with earthy tones, splashes of Maldivian print, vaulted ceilings and huge floor-to-ceiling glass doors that bathe the rooms in natural light and give sensational ocean views.

Families have dedicated two-bedroomed beach villas which can accommodate up to four children. For a relatively intimate resort, there’s a lot going on with five restaurants (including KAAGÉ, a Maldivian fine-dining restaurant), dive centre, kids' club and the Elena Spa offering treatments in their overwater suites. There’s a vast range of activities to entertain; learn palm leaf origami or the art of local drumming, whilst non-motorised watersports are included.

*If you are required to quarantine in a separate room there will be an additionally concessionary rate per night.

All-inclusive inclusions which require guests to leave their room will not be included.
