About the resort
Within the UNESCO BIOSPHERE RESERVE of Baa Atoll in the Republic of the Maldives lies a reef island composed entirely of sediment produced on the surrounding coral "faru" or reefs, 85% it is suggested, by parrotfish, the fish grinding up coral during feeding and, after digesting the edible content, excrete the rest as sand, creating the powder soft, brilliant white sands that encircle the island. A study was published in the journal Geology in 2015 with this interesting fact after having taken samples and surveys on the reefs around Vakkaru island.
From that beginning, the exceptional beauty and awe-inspiring location of this untouched jewel, now a fashioned idyllic Maldives island retreat in a sustainable environment of pared-back luxury under the endless emeralds and azures of The Maldives.
