The trip
Overview
Varu by Atmosphere is the Maldives with the brakes off: a genuine premium all-inclusive where sunset fishing trips, snorkelling safaris, fine wines and even a spa credit are part of the plan. Forty minutes from Malé by speedboat, the island sits on a vivid house reef with resident turtles and reef sharks.
Choose a beach villa wrapped in tropical garden or go full postcard with a water villa on stilts over the lagoon. Either way, the Varu Plan™ means you sign nothing all week.

- ✦Weekly sunset cruise, fishing trip and guided snorkel safari included
