About Cabana

Cabana is a relaxed alfresco lounge with comfortable seating and attentive poolside service. It serves tropical cocktails, refreshing drinks and light bites, and the resort describes it as a spot for cooling off between swims or lingering into the evening with a pre-dinner aperitif.

Drinks are served from 9am to 11pm, snacks from 4pm to 6pm, and poolside service runs from 9am to 6pm. The dress code is resort casual, and a menu is published on the resort's website.

In the resort’s words

Cabana at Vakkaru Maldives is an open-air lounge beside the main pool, built for pauses between swims. Tropical cocktails, cold drinks, and light bites are served from daytime through a pre-dinner aperitif, with lounge seating and poolside service rather than a full dinner service.

Part of the dining roster at Vakkaru, Baa Atoll, this light bites and cocktails bar runs a poolside lounge format · beside the main pool setting. Dress code: resort casual.
