Not a true 5* experience, especially when it comes to dining

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

ZagrebPepper TripAdvisor review

Small and charming island, 25 min boat ride from Male. The staff are very polite and the resort host, Fatima, was especially helpful and professional. Villas need renovation. The Japanese restaurant is excellent but the main restaurant Saffron is quite mediocre and well bellow what you would expect from a 5 star resort. We were on a full board meal plan, yet there is significant surcharge for HB/FB guests on around 60-70% of the menu items (essentially everything except chicken and veggie meals) which was disappointing and not clearly justified. This significantely reduces the value of the mealplan and feels misleading.

Relaxing holiday

We had a fantastic time at Banyan tree vabbinfaru, so rejuvenating and beautiful. Fatima looked after us incredibly well, always available to answer questions and she offered plenty of suggestions for things that could make each day of our stay even more special. Thank you!

Camille C TripAdvisor review

We had an absolutely magical experience. Everyone is so friendly. The food was delicious. Such amazing underwater experiences. The lagoon is so well cared for by everyone including the people who work in the marine lab, who work so hard to keep everything healthy. We especially loved Fatima’s welcoming service. She made this experience more magical and relaxing. The cooks including Rajesh were so nice and made delicious food that we really enjoyed every night. The marine lab team were very friendly and taught us many secrets about the underwater life. There was also a very talented drummer who made beautiful natural flower necklaces. An unforgettable experience I will always keep in my heart. Camille

Wonderful experience!

A truly wonderful experience. From the outset of the way we were brought to the resort, to the wonderful welcome from Guest relations manager Fatima who made us feel as if we were being welcomed home, to the tranquility of the resort and overall quality of the operations! A really beautiful and well-run property that puts its guest first, and where you can truly tell that the employees are happy (which in turn translates into top service for the guests!). Looking forward to our next trip in 2026 which we have already booked!

Dear Daniel, Thank you very much for your wonderful review and kind words about your experience at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru. We are delighted to hear that Fatima and our team made you feel so warmly welcomed and that you enjoyed the tranquility and quality of our resort.
