Sand-fringed atolls scattered like pearls across a brilliant turquoise sea, the Maldives have been a favorite retreat of sultans and kings, world travelers and adventurers for decades. Located southwest of Sri Lanka, these "pearls of the Indian Ocean" are stunningly beautiful, offering a perfect retreat from the western world. Here, at the exclusive Banyan Tree Maldives Vabbinfaru, your Robinson Crusoe fantasy is fulfilled with a luxurious twist.

Rasheed has provided his services with the highest level of professionalism, care, and attention. From the very first day, he intuitively understood our preferences and needs. Fresh towels, water, and every detail were always taken care of without us ever having to ask twice or offer reminders. His attentiveness and consistency were truly remarkable. Beyond his excellent work, Rasheed made us feel genuinely welcomed and looked after. He carries himself with warmth, respect, and quiet dedication, and it is clear he takes great pride in what he does. It is quite special to witness the natural kindness and values reflected not only in Rasheed, but in the people of the Maldives more broadly. There is an innate culture of care and hospitality that leaves a lasting impression. We leave with a small pinch in our hearts, grateful for the experience and for people like Rasheed who made it so memorable. Well done, Rasheed. We wish you continued success and all the very best for the future.

Quite simply, a fantastic quite tropical island with all modern amenities. Very welcoming, ALL the staff go the extra mile to make your stay a memorable one. Although we did see young children this is not an island I feel for them. Don’t expect orchestrated nightly entertainment. This place is ideal of relaxation. Small, intimate, private & quiet is very much at the forefront of everything. Good house reef, if you wish to rent any equipment to either scuba or snorkel? This is available. Extensive menus at both restaurants, mixed in with regular buffet style meals. As a couple we had a fantastic time. The proof of any holiday is the question, will I go back? Answer Most definitely. Thank you everyone at The Banyan Tree. We had a wonderful time.

We had an exceptional 4 days stay at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru. The Staff really went above and beyond in order to give us the most beautiful experience for our first visit in Maldives. We will definitely be coming back.

We came to Banyan Tree to celebrate our daughter’s 9th birthday. Thanks to our butler Allath’s excellent service, we have wonderful memories here. He is very professional, thoughtful, and responsive even during peak periods.

We have visited the Banyan Tree twice previously and loved being back this time with our 16 and 14 year old girls. Despite a few issues in the first 24 hours, we had an excellent stay. The issues we experienced were dealt with by Allatg and Simaad the Manager promptly and to our satisfaction - in fact exceeding our expectations. The island is stunning, the accommodation beautiful and their ethos compelling. But what really made our holiday really special was the care and service of the staff. Whether that be those who serviced our room or the waiting staff at the restaurants and bar. They were without exception superb. Thank you for a memorable family stay. The hotel is now family friendly. For couples or families with older children it is worth noting it can be quite noisy with younger children - we found this on a few days and it probably felt more prevalent as otherwise the island is just so beautifully quiet and peaceful.
