Ahmed and Farish, our servers, were incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and consistently recommended dishes that suited our tastes perfectly.

To Villa 3 Attendant Anees, Thank you for your remarkable attention to detail during my stay. From neatly folding our pajamas and cleaning every corner, to clearing sand from the deck and pool, your care shines through. I especially appreciated the tissues placed conveniently—such thoughtfulness made my stay wonderful.|Thank you, Yaffes and Alsam from the Water Sports Center. When the waves got bigger, they immediately came in a motorboat to rescue me and my safety ropes back to the shore. They are strong and reliable. |Cockroaches appeared in the morning on the first two days, but all the staff responded promptly. Both the sunset cruise and the dolphin cruise were perfect. Every staff member was very friendly and happy. |I'm not satisfied with the Japanese restaurant. The dishes are served very slowly and the taste is just so-so. |However Saffron and buffet are excellent.

We had an amazing experience at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru! The resort offers the perfect blend of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty. Our villa was peaceful and secluded, with direct beach access and a private pool — ideal for a truly relaxing escape.||The amenities were excellent, and the housekeeping service stood out. A big thank you to Naseer, our housekeeper, who went above and beyond by not only keeping our villa spotless but also thoughtfully arranging our belongings each day. His attention to detail and respectful service made us feel truly cared for.||Dining was another highlight. Special thanks to Ahmed and Farish, who made every meal memorable. They had great knowledge of the menu and took time to understand our preferences, offering thoughtful recommendations each time. One of them even went out of their way to get us the recipe for a dish we particularly loved — a gesture that truly reflects the resort’s exceptional service.||If you’re looking for a serene, high-end getaway in the Maldives with personalized service and a focus on privacy, I highly recommend Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru. We left feeling refreshed, pampered, and already dreaming of our return!

Starting with what i liked about the resort, stunning water, views, and cozy placement of the island. The food is spectacular no less than five star restaurants anywhere especially the Japanese restaurant ( madi hiyaa), which is located over the water by itself slightly away from the island. |However, the highlight of our stay was the staff, they went above and beyond making us comfortable and happy in our stay. Special mention to our hostess the Moroccan lady Fatima, who did everything in her power to keep us happy during our vacation, she even noticed that I didn’t like the arrangement of the villas at the Banyan tree resort and she managed to change our accommodation into the sister Island (dhawa ihuru - another nearby resort owned by banyan tree) where I really liked the villa and the view of the Villa while maintaining all my privileges at Banyan tree resort, including the restaurant and the spa. Although I’m used to the five stars maldivian treatment however Fatima was truly special in her hospitality.

We returned to Maldives after COVID and we chose Banyan Tree again due to the last pleasant experience. And this time we brought our kid and parents with us and they too had a fantastic time. Needless to mention about the reefs near the hotel which was breathtaking and even our young kid got to enjoy the snorkeling to the fullest checking out sharks and all different colorful fish. Our stay at this Maldives resort was again remarkable, thanks to the extraordinary care and attention from the staff, they went the extra mile to make sure things are well taken care of. Special thanks to Waheed, the hotel manager, whose warm leadership ensured every detail was perfect, and Zendie, the restaurant manager, who made every dining experience delightful and personalized, this definitely helped compensate the quality of the food in the hotel that needs certain improvements. Chef Ann was wonderful and her Thai dishes are one of the best to try on the Island. We were especially touched by Okta, who went above and beyond to assist us even during her off-duty hours, showing genuine kindness and dedication. The presence of a clinic on the island also added peace of mind, reflecting the resort’s commitment to guest well-being. My family got an emergency after diving and good to have the help of the in-house doctor to care for him during our stay. This team’s unmatched hospitality made our trip unforgettable. We can’t wait to return!

Great hotel, offering unforgettable experiences. Firstly, it is located only 20 minutes away from the airport when traveling by speedboat. All the staff are incredibly polite and have a great level of english, all of them were great, I just couldn't remember all the names. We received a great welcome from Luu and Harry, which showed us the island and explained how everything works. The food was great, especially the omlette from the chef during the morning breakfast. There is a great variety of activities such as snorkeling around the house reef. For surplus charges, you could try scuba diving, which is a great experience, or go to an excursion to see the manta rays. Both marine lab and marine center offer great activities, such as save the reef from Harry and other staff. You should definitely try the night snorkeling with Chika, which will be the most insane 1 hour of your life. Finally, every 2 hours there is a boat which can carry you to the island nearby, where you can do snorkeling or diving. Definitely recommended this hotel which gave me unforgettable experiences for my whole life P.s. had fun chatting with Zendie and Chika, they are awesome people 😀.

Very beautiful and peaceful island, with beautiful view and delicious foods! Warm welcome by all staffs, especially Fatima, amazing young girl with great hospitality, which makes nt holiday even more better! Prefect experience,and sure will come back again!
