Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru

This resort is one of the best Ive ever stayed at. The entire guest experience to me was so well thought out. From the time you arrive at the airport, with the seamless transfer to the resort, how they greet you on arrival and provide direct personal "concierge" access to your own host who will take care of all your needs. All the staff are well aware of your name (i mean all), where you come from and your plans during your stay. This allowed them to be so approachable and often led to them being able to ask about your experiences and have a good conversation. This make the resort feel so personal. Like you are a guest of a family home. Special mention to Liu who looked after me during my stay. She went above and beyond to ensure I had the best time, from arrangingii all my plans/activities during my stay. She even ensured my anniversary surprises for my wife were all arranged in secret and in the background. She did all the thinking for me so that I could relax.

Finally me and my husband had the gut to travel alone for three days to our lovely place *Maldives* without the kids specially one of them still a baby ..we usually stays in a big islands, but this time we choose Banyan Tree and we knew its small islands, to be honest we were bit worried to get bored and wont be nice, But!!!!

I had a truly wonderful stay at this resort. The environment was peaceful and beautifully maintained — the perfect place to relax and reconnect with myself. The staff were incredibly polite, professional, and welcoming. I especially enjoyed the massage, yoga, and meditation sessions — they were exactly what I needed to feel calm and grounded again. A special thanks to Fatima at the reception. Her warm heart, genuine kindness, and friendly attitude made me feel truly seen and never alone. She was a bright light during my stay, and I’m grateful for her presence. Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking peace, healing, and sincere hospitality.

Me, my wife and my 1.5 yo boy has stayed at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru resort for 3 days. The high quality of service and attention to details are at top-notch. The staffs are amazing and the rooms have been comfortable and immaculate. In past years, we have travelled different countries and stayed in different cultures, and now we wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere other than this resort BANYAN TREE VABBINFARU. I would like to thank front office Manager Wadde for his help on everything, and his colleague Liu for being the best hostess. Liu has been so friendly since the moment we arrived and were ready to attend to any of our requirement. We had most of our meals at Saffron Restaurant near front office. If I’m being honest, I was worried that they might be bothered due to our baby boy’s behavior on his excitement. He was running all over the place and the restaurant staffs, Server Nafiz for making sure that everything we needed is on place, Supervisor Ahmed, Lyn and Sejal, thank you from the bottom of our heart for being so understanding and welcoming. And YES! For not fading that beautiful, welcoming and accommodating smile! We would also like to thank Zihan, the person who made beautiful little creatures toys from woven palm leaves. Our baby liked it a lot. Not to forget our room boy Naseer for his excellent service. He always made sure that our room is clean and comfy for an unforgettable stay. Overall thank you everyone who helped us to have a beautiful and unforgettable stay. We can’ wait to see them again.

Banyan Tree is a great option with easy access from the airport while offering a very unique and authentic experience. A paradise for us with 4 days barefoot, enjoying snorkelling, diving, sunset cruise and just relaxing with great view from our Sunset Beach villa. Hery and all his team have done an amazing job to make our stay unique and memorable. A special mention to Fatima. If you are looking for water villa, marble, gastro restaurant and ultra luxury, you will find other options in Maldives. If you are looking for an authentic paradise, to enjoy your stay barefoot close to the nature with a team proud of his traditional cultures, this is a place we strongly recommend
