My wife and I spent our honeymoon at VARU by Atmosphere, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The hotel and the island itself are absolutely stunning—paradise on earth. Our arrival was seamless, with a smooth boat transfer from Male airport, and we were warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived.
We stayed for 14 nights and found ourselves constantly engaged in one of the many activities the hotel offers. The complimentary snorkeling excursions were fantastic, but the paid larger excursions were absolutely breathtaking. We had the incredible opportunity to swim with sharks, turtles, and countless fish—it was an experience we’ll never forget.
We stayed in an overwater villa (without a pool) and could not have been happier with our choice. The sunsets were simply stunning, and having direct access to the water right from our villa was incredible. Just be aware that the water can be a bit choppy, so some swimming skills are required to enjoy it safely.
The food at the restaurant was excellent, offering both Western and Asian cuisines. The menu leans a bit more toward Asian flavors, so if you're not a fan of diverse Asian foods, it might not be the best fit. However, for us, it was a treat!
The service throughout our stay was top-tier—attentive, precise, and genuinely focused on making our experience special. If you're looking for a luxurious, 5-star honeymoon experience in the Maldives, without breaking the bank, look no further than VARU by Atmosphere. We would highly recommend it!

Nice place to visit. View were spectacular but anywhere in the Maldives you can experience this. We heard this was one of the less Expensive 5 star resorts in the Maldives and I would agree. Vibes round by the pool do not feel like a 5 star resorts. Staff are friendly and rooms are nice.

Incredible location, amenities, food and atmosphere but, most notably, the kindest staff I’ve ever come across in my travels. Everyone (and I mean everyone, from reception to cleaners) was always going out of their way to make our experience truly special and approached us with a genuine smile. The entire transfer process to and from the airport was seamless and having a dedicated coordinator who was always available to assist over WhatsApp was a huge bonus.

Our honeymoon at VARU by Atmosphere in the Maldives was an unforgettable and magical experience! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and exceptional hospitality that set the tone for an incredible stay.
We spent two nights in a beach villa with a private pool and two nights in an overwater villa. Both accommodations were immaculate, luxurious, and offered breathtaking views—each providing a unique and serene experience. The beach villa’s private pool was a wonderful touch for relaxing in privacy, while the overwater villa allowed us to wake up to the soothing sound of the ocean.
The all-inclusive VARU plan was outstanding—offering a wide variety of gourmet food and premium drinks. We enjoyed exquisite meals at the specialty restaurants, Nü and Charcoal, which provided a fine-dining experience with a diverse menu and impeccable service. Every meal was a culinary delight!
The range of activities available made our stay even more special. We went on a snorkeling excursion and also enjoyed snorkeling straight from the beach, discovering vibrant marine life in the crystal-clear waters. Kayaking on the waters of the island was both peaceful and adventurous. The stargazing cruise was a romantic highlight—sailing under the twinkling Maldivian sky. Sunset fishing was another unforgettable experience, especially catching a fish! Each evening, we marveled at the stunning sunsets and spent time gazing at the endless stars.
A visit to the Elena Spa was the perfect way to unwind—the therapists were skilled, and the atmosphere was incredibly soothing.
What truly made our stay exceptional was the staff. Every member of the team was friendly, courteous, and always greeted us with a warm smile. Their genuine hospitality and attention to detail made us feel truly valued and cared for throughout our stay.
If you’re looking for a luxurious, all-inclusive paradise with world-class service and unforgettable experiences, VARU by Atmosphere is the place to be. We cannot recommend it highly enough and will cherish these beautiful memories forever.

We have been to the Maldives before but the experience at Varu exceeded all our expectations. Service levels are exceptional and staff are attentive and knowledgeable. The Varu Plan makes the whole experience completely stress free and the quality of F&B is up there with the best on a World level.
