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.

Dear ZagrebPepper, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I am pleased to hear you found our island charming and appreciated the professionalism of our team, especially Fatima. Regarding your concerns about dining and the meal plan, please allow me to clarify that we offer a range of meal packages from Bed & Breakfast to All-Inclusive, designed to suit various preferences and budgets. Some menu items may carry an additional surcharge depending on the meal plan selected, which is intended to provide guests with flexibility and choice. We regret that this was not made sufficiently clear during your stay. Had we been made aware of your concerns at the time, we would have been more than happy to explain the options and help tailor your experience to better meet your expectations. We value your input as it helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide an experience that fully meets your expectations. Warm regards, Elias Pertoft General Manager Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru

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

Dear Camille, Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for choosing Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru for your holiday. I am delighted to hear that you had a magical and memorable experience with us. It is heartening to know that our team, especially Fatima and Rajesh, made your stay relaxing and enjoyable with their warm service and delicious food. I will also share your kind words with our marine lab team and the talented drummer, as they will be thrilled to know their efforts and talents were appreciated. Your recognition of our lagoon conservation efforts means a lot to us, and it encourages us to continue maintaining the natural beauty and health of our environment. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable visit. Warm regards, Elias Pertoft General Manager Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru

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!
