Azure sea, the lapping of the ocean and white beaches. The Maldives are known as the holiday destination of dreams. The dream now gets a new nuance with the luxury resort Vakkaru Maldives.

A 30-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport brings you to the secluded reef island, shaded by coconut trees. Blessed with powder-soft white sand beaches, there are 113 beautifully appointed over-water and beach villas here, elegantly designed and visually integrated into the surroundings.

Located in Baa Atoll, the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Vakkaru Maldives was voted &quot;Leading Resort&quot; in the Indian Ocean at the World Travel Awards. And not without reason.&nbsp;From a state-of-the-art paddle court to a range of fascinating culinary experiences - there&#39;s everything to make life on a private island even more enjoyable. Especially if you want to spend the Christmas holidays in a hot hideaway.&nbsp;

Sports are done here in an incredible setting, as Vakkaru has expanded an extensive repertoire of sports and fitness facilities to include a paddle tennis court that just opened. This popular racket game guarantees a full-body workout and is ideal for two players or as a family sport. Budding tennis players can improve their serve and game on Vakkaru&#39;s new tennis court, which was recently redesigned by the professional team responsible for the Australian Open tennis court.&nbsp;Thanks to a first-class coaching partnership with Tipsarevic Luxury Tennis, you can also play here - on request - against world-famous professionals.

From mid-December, those looking to balance their overall well-being can improve their breathing exercises at the brand new sunset-facing yoga pavilion on Vakku beach. After the yoga session, head to the resort&#39;s Merana Spa. This includes a pampering treatment - above the water.&nbsp;

Also just opened is the resort&#39;s Lagoon Bar, with a new teppanyaki table to enjoy the sunset surrounded by your best friends.&nbsp;Sushi, sashimi and special cocktails are prepared by the chef. This is accompanied by steaks, freshly caught seafood and organic vegetables straight from the iron skillet.&nbsp;

Another culinary adventure awaits guests at the resort&#39;s Organic Farm, which is becoming a lush tropical island garden and a new venue for culinary events. Surrounded by coconut palms, the farm produces some of the freshest fruits, herbs and vegetables for the resort&#39;s restaurant and bar, from lemongrass to Maldivian chilli and water spinach.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
