Vakkaru Maldives, which will be resuming business on August 1, is all geared up to welcome guests with an elevated hygiene and new hospitality concept. On the day of the reopening, the resort will be launching its new hospitality concept- Vakkare.
Vakkare is a new standard in luxury hospitality, that will place the concept of care at the core of all that Vakkaru Maldives offers. Comprising four pillars – We Kare, Self Kare, Let’s Kare and After Kare – Vakkare incorporates not just the resort’s practical responses to the challenge of operating a remote private-island resort in the age of Covid-19 but also considers the physical, social and emotional needs of guests.

Under the We Kare initiative, the resort team’s will be investing in the wellbeing of its members and everyone who visits. The elvated hygiene measures include thorough medical checks for team members and health screenings for new arrivals, alongside enhanced sanitisation practices and the provision to guests of We Kare packs to include face masks and other personal items and keepsakes.
The resort has made necessary arrangements to ensure that guests and employees practice social distancing measures. A spokesperson from the hotel informed that the implementation of social distancing measure didn’t require a drastic change to the property’s infrastructure. “With the protection of privacy a consideration from day one, villas, restaurant seating and the like have always allowed for exclusivity,” the spokesperson added.
The Self Kare initiative refers to the many restorative, wellness-minded experiences and services that will be available to every guest. Among them are a range of enhanced light- and no-touch spa treatments and rituals that will complement the resort’s most popular massages and facials.
