Varu was exactly in its name, an Atmosphere experience! From the drum ceremony arrival to the birthday dinner on the dock gazebo to the food and the service. Impeccable! I celebrated my birthday at Varu and absolutely loved the experience. Abby, Zune and the entire crew were phenomenal. I made new friendships here. My only suggestions are more entertainment during the evenings. It's a little bit dead after 9pm during the weekdays. But we would absolutely recommend. Charcoal is worth every moment! Food might be the best we've ever had. Try the lamb skewers, Wagyu and Pork Belly. Phenomenal! My water villa was what dreams are made of! Will definitely be back.

Fantastic 5 star resort. 24 hour concierge service. Everything is walking distance. Staff exceptionally helpful and friendly. Beautiful property. Buffet food is excellent. À la carte restaurants range from exceptional to poor but offer wide variety of cuisines. Highly recommend. Big thanks to Mazey and all the staff for their help.

Me and my husband came to Varu for our honeymoon, it’s safe to say it was the best vacation we’ve ever had. The food and drinks were amazing, the staff was incredibly kind, friendly, and hardworking, the resort felt very homey, and it was so so so beautiful! We will definitely be going back to Varu very soon!

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and had a fantastic time! All staff were wonderful and really made our trip great. Also, all restaurants were high quality and the buffet (Lime & Chilli) had excellent variety with options for all tastes. Great alcohol options for wine, beer, spirits etc as well. The water is a crystal clear and great for snorkelling, and we did some additional water sports (paddle boarding, kayaking etc) which was a lot of fun. Overall this was a great stay and a great hotel!

Varu was great. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with our friends who celebrated their 30th. We stayed in over-the-water villas in dolphin jetty. Really enjoyed the room, the private pool, and private access directly into the ocean. The staff was very friendly. The food options were great. The island was just the right size to be dedicated to the entire resort. We loved the experience. Highly recommend coming to Varu.
