Direct from Mumbai to Maldives, Vakkaru Maldives’ Effortless Escape to Makes a Private-Island Weekend Escape Easier Than Ever

Figuratively, the clamour of Mumbai and the calmness of the Maldives may seem a million miles away but with Vakkaru Maldives’ inauguration launch of Effortless Escape from Mumbai to Vakkaru package, holiday-goers will be able to spring from the bustling city to the private island in half a day. For those who want to make a stress-free retreat to a place that specialises in timeless serenity, this promises to be the ultimate weekend getaway.

A direct 2,5 hours flight on Maldivian Airlines from Mumbai takes you to nearby Maafaru International Airport which lies in close proximity to Vakkaru Maldives home in Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve renowned for its exceptional sea life and incredible dive and snorkelling sites. From the airport, it’s a scenic 1 hour and 20-minute speedboat transfer or 15-minute seaplane ride to the resort.
