Discover Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru

In the North Male Atoll, just 20 minutes by speedboat from the main international airport, Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru offers a wonderful, eco-friendly escape with relaxed, friendly service. Ideal for couples seeking romance and seclusion, this perfectly-shaped island is blessed with immaculate white sand beaches, lush tropical palms, and a coral reef teeming with marine life. Excellent water sports allow for quiet discovery or more thrilling pursuits.

The resort's 48 spacious villas, all with private pools and jet pool, are set on the island itself and nestle harmoniously into the surroundings with their delightful thatched roofs and conical design. The one main restaurant offers a wide selection of international flavours, plus there's a choice of romantic 'destination dining' options that include dinners on a sandbank or a traditional Maldivian sailboat. The award-winning Banyan Tree Spa is a real highlight with its therapies and treatments.
