Before you book
What meal plans does Vakkaru offer?
Vakkaru's own materials don't publish fixed board-basis packages — dining runs à la carte across six restaurants (including a reservation-only farm-to-table experience at The Organic Farm), two bars and the Vakkaru Reserve wine cellar. IMJ confirms which meal-plan options are open for your dates when we book.
What's the standout dining or wine experience?
Vakkaru Reserve is the headline: an award-winning cellar holding more than 680 labels, with a resident sommelier running tastings and private wine dinners by reservation. Destination dining also runs from barefoot beach dinners to a picnic on a secluded sandbank, both by reservation.
