"Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru Offering something more immersive than classic resort dining, Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru has a four-course menu that can be served right on the beach. Watch a chef prepare your gourmet Maldivian lobster dinner right in front of you while you listen to the soothing sounds of waves lapping at the shoreline and enjoying the fresh sea air. Alternatively, choose the Sharkpoint option and tuck into sea scallops and lobster on a secluded stretch of sand. For a dose of culture, head to the open-air Naiboli Bar on a Friday night and take in a traditional bodu beru performance on the beach."

This is my second visit here. During the first trip, my wife and I were deeply impressed. This time, I'm here with our two children. The room facilities don't look old, and the service is getting better and better. There's an additional restaurant now, offering more choices.Miss Liu's service is excellent. The schedule for various activities is very reasonable. She is extremely thoughtful.

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 😀.

Our stay at Banyan Tree Maldives was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by pristine beauty, warm hospitality, and a sense of calm that only the Maldives can offer.||The villas are beautifully designed — private, peaceful, and just steps from the turquoise waters. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and having breakfast with a view of endless blues was a dream come true. Every detail, from the private pool to the open-air showers, added to the luxury island experience.||A very special thanks to Okta and Prateek, who truly made our stay unforgettable. Okta was incredibly warm, attentive, and always ensured everything was perfect for us — her kindness and energy made a real impact. And Prateek, with his genuine care and professionalism, went above and beyond to make us feel at home. You both are the heart of the experience — thank you!||From sunset cruises to snorkelling with turtles, spa therapies to delicious meals under the stars — everything was 10/10. Banyan Tree is more than just a resort — it’s an experience of serenity and connection with nature. 🌴✨||Highly recommend for anyone seeking luxury with soul.|Can’t wait to return!

The whole experience of the stay was just unforgettable. From the moment I stepped into the speedboat for the small journey, the crew’s service was exceptional. The welcome that I got, was like a coming to home experience. I was welcomed by Mr. Faiz and then Ms. Okta who was very kind and always attentive and kept asking about how our stay is going on. After that it was Mr. Waheed who greeted us, who I felt like he was a long lost friend of mine. He was also very kind and friendly. Then ofcourse the housekeeping team, could not name just one person because each and everyone was just exceptional. Whoever it was, they always welcomed us with a big smile and a warm heart. The experience from the spa is just perfect, from the receptionist Ms. Vita to my therapist Ms. Iin and rest of the spa team was just perfect. I must say my heartfelt thanks to the spa team for their small surprise and celebration they did for my birthday. Every single moment of this stay was a highlight, the surprise and the celebration with a cake that I got for my birthday from the F&B team, Mr. Ahmed, Mr. Abdullah, Mr. Nafiz, Mr. Aiman & Mr. Zendi, thank you so much for the lovely surprise. Mr. Nasif from Naiboli Bar who always had a welcoming smile on his face whenever he saw us. The whole Marine Lab and the team was just fantastic as well. Thank you Mr. Naeem and Mr. Simad as well for their time to make the stay even more special. It was really sad to leave but once again thank you so much to the whole Banyan Tree team and yes ofcourse special thanks to Ms. Liu and to the rest of the Front Office team as well for making our stay complete. It was a coming back to home feeling for me, Thank you!

First, the positive: - The island is pure magic - white sand, crystal-clear waters, and lush vegetation, all complemented by the perfect blend of comfort and natural beauty. - Our room was not only spacious and comfortable but also well integrated into the island’s charm, with an open-air bathroom and an outdoor shower. - The location is ideal, especially for those with early flights, as it’s conveniently close to Malé. You can make the most of your stay right up until the last moment. - A standout feature is the new bar - an incredible spot to enjoy a drink while watching breathtaking sunsets. - The marine lab is another highlight, offering engaging activities like reef cleaning, which gives guests a deeper understanding of the environmental challenges facing the Maldives and a chance to contribute. - For snorkeling enthusiasts, the reef at the sister island, Ihuru, is spectacular. We encountered sharks, rays, turtles, clown fish and many more. - There are many activities on the resort, and you never get bored. We particularly enjoyed the Maldivian cooking class. Thanks to Prosanta for sharing his cooking skills with us! - A special mention to Rajesh at the barbecue - his kindness and great cooking skills added an extra touch of hospitality that made our trip even more memorable. Now, the points that could be improved: - As returning guests, we felt that the attention to detail had slipped compared to our previous visits. For example, the turndown service was inconsistent, and we had to request more tea for our room after running out, which we hadn’t experienced before. - We also preferred the previous dining experience, where the menu changed daily, offering more variety. The current setup includes numerous supplements, which can make the options feel somewhat limited unless you’re willing to pay extra on top of what’s already included. Overall, it was an incredible stay.
