Small and intimate, there is a real boutique feel to Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru. Cast away on a serene atoll and set amongst its own oasis of landscaped gardens, the resort is a genuinely beautiful tropical hideaway where guests return year after year.

Location
In the North Malé Atoll, just 20 minutes from Malé airport by speedboat.

Accommodation
The resort has 48 thatched roof conical villas each featuring air-conditioning, a private sundeck, king size four-poster bed, outdoor shower and jet pool and individual local works of art. In addition, all offer floor to ceiling glass doors to maximise the natural light, and these can be left open to feel the refreshing ocean breeze. Ocean View Villas are set back from the beach and afford a private and intimate space, whilst Beachfront Villas are directly on the beach and just
steps from the ocean. Deluxe Villa categories include a larger outdoor area, whether this be a private garden or a larger patio overlooking the sea. The Vabbinfaru Villa offers the luxury of extra space and privacy, together with a private beach sala, al fresco living pavilion, CD player and mini bar.

Facilities
The main restaurant Ilaafathi serves imaginative Maldivian dishes that we defy anyone to resist, together with international cuisine. Naiboli Bar also provides cocktails and snacks throughout the day. For a truly memorable experience, why not let the resort organise a private dinner on a nearby sandbank, or have your own chef and waiter serve a candlelit barbecue in the privacy of your villa. A full range of watersports are available including an excellent fully equipped PADI dive
centre, suitable for beginners and experienced divers; the coral reefs around the island are some of the most colourful in the Maldives and are teeming with marine life. Island hopping is also popular, with a generous picnic prepared by the resort chefs to sustain you. Step inside the Banyan Tree Spa and you’ll immediately understand why its beautiful pavilions and exotic range
of therapies have won major awards.
