VARU by Atmosphere NORTH MALÉ ATOLL, MALDIVES


Varu by Atmosphere is a vibrant island retreat that captures the true spirit of the Maldives. Taking its name from the Dhivehi word for ‘strength and vitality’, the resort weaves together authentic Maldivian culture, natural beauty and a lively, enriching atmosphere. The premium all-inclusive Varu Plan covers everything from gourmet dining and premium drinks to ocean excursions and indulgent spa rituals. Varu features 108 villas and suites inspired by


traditional Maldivian design, with thatched roofs, natural wood finishes and wide-open windows. Located along palm-lined shores or perched above turquoise waters, each sanctuary is crafted for total tranquillity. Couples can unwind in overwater villas with private pools, while families and groups may prefer spacious beach villas with direct access to the sand and proximity to resort amenities. Each villa is equipped with plush bedding, high-end comforts and a daily restocked mini-bar. The three- bedroom Majlis Residences offer added privacy with a courtyard, pool, ocean terrace and a separate space for a nanny or personal attendant.


Dining at Varu blends global flavours with


Maldivian soul. Lime & Chilli offers international favourites and local specialities with live cooking stations in a laid-back setting, while Bay Rouge, the poolside bar, serves light bites and cocktails. For something more elevated, three a la carte restaurants await: Nü showcases Mediterranean seafood with sweeping views, Charcoal delivers flame-grilled dishes right on the beach, and Kaagé, housed in a traditional Maldivian home, reimagines heritage recipes. A new overwater teppanyaki restaurant is also set to open soon. The surrounding marine world is rich with life


and colour. Guided by Koamas Dive & Water Sports, guests can snorkel vibrant reefs, try windsurfing, paddleboarding and join complimentary sea excursions. On land, cultural sessions, yoga, cooking classes and island experiences provide opportunities to connect with Maldivian heritage. Children are welcomed at the kids’ club with


engaging activities, while adults can escape to the Elena Spa, an overwater sanctuary where treatments are performed above glass floors.
