VARU by ATMOSPHERE

Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts’ Malé atoll is offering, VARU by Atmosphere, which 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.

For a relatively intimate resort, there’s a lot going on with five restaurants (including KAAGÉ, a Maldivian fine-dining restaurant), a dive centre, a 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.
