Immerse yourself in genuine Maldivian hospitality at Banyan Tree Maldives!

 

 

BanyanTree Vabbinfaru is a private Maldives resort that lets its spectacular ocean views and pearl white sands that leave you speechless. Located in the North Male Atoll, the secluded island embraces its petite size with around 48 thatched-roof villas encompassing the retreat. Here, the perks of having few villas include, private plunge pools and Jacuzzis in each separate room, over the few number of guests giving you more privacy. 

 

Your days will run short of time, staring out at the endless blue ocean or while you dive in and familiarize yourself with the Banyan Tree Resort’s underwater marine life, thanks to an onsite PADI dive center, marine lab and an array of water sports offerings.

To study more about the Banyan TreeResort’s marine life, simply visit to the interactive marine lab. The first of its kind to be backed by and built on a remote resort, the epicenter gives a behind-the-scenes look at sea turtle care, coral planting and marine life conservation. For once in a life time opportunity for your vacation photos, don’t miss the regular stingray feeding at 5 p.m.

 

A service in one of the Thai-style Banyan Tree Spa’s five open-air treatment rooms is a must. Refresh after a day at the beach with the Sense of Place — Island Sensation ritual featuring a Vabbinfaru deep-tissue massage, a vitamin-infused Avocado Nourishes to re hydrate sun-singed skin and an application of Sun Soother lotion for an extra dose of protection.

 

Each villa is its own private paradise with a plunge pool, Jacuzzi, outdoor shower and a patio or beach access. Beachfront Pool Villas provide a pathway to the sparkling sea, but Oceanview Pool Villas give you an extra dose of privacy. A walled-in courtyard hides your own pool, Jacuzzi, sundeck, daybed and outdoor shower.

 

Interiors exude a beach-chic vibe with a teak four-poster bed, a wedge-shaped couch and French windows that frame those show-stopping ocean views. Dark wood accents and rich gold and brown silks bring out Banyan Tree’s distinct Balinese style. Bathrooms are compact, but two showers (one indoor, one alfresco) make up for the lack of space.
