We had a truly beautiful stay on this unique island, which is peaceful, romantic. It was the perfect place to celebrate such a special time together. A heartfelt thank you to Fatima, who took such wonderful care of us throughout our stay. She helped arrange several activities that became unforgettable highlights of our honeymoon, and everything was handled so smoothly and effortlessly. We would also love to thank our photographer Afraah for capturing such beautiful moments for us. We will definitely be back again!

We had a truly wonderful stay on this unique island. Everything felt special, peaceful, and thoughtfully arranged from start to finish. A very special thank you to Fatima, who took such great care of us during our stay. She helped us book a catamaran day cruise and a spa experience, and both were absolutely perfect highlights of our trip. Fatima was always kind, attentive, and efficient, making the whole process effortless and stress-free. Her professionalism and warm attitude made us feel genuinely welcomed and well looked after. Also thanks to our wonderful photographer Afraah, who took some really nice photos for us! Very professional and kind!

The island was a paradise and the service as well as everyone working there absolutely exceptional. Special mention to Fatima, Fibit and Ali, thank you for everything! The reef of both Vabinfaru and ihuru were lovely to snorkel on, the food was divine and trips arranged for snorkeling were excellent. Thank you everyone!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru. From the moment we arrived, we were touched by the kindness and professionalism of the staff. A very special mention goes to our butler Fatima, who was incredibly attentive, always smiling, and genuinely caring throughout our stay. The activities offered are of outstanding quality. The sunset yoga on the platform is a truly magical, timeless moment in a breathtaking natural setting. The spa treatments and massages are excellent. We especially enjoyed the overwater restaurant and swimming pool, which offer stunning views and a very peaceful atmosphere. The sunset cruise was fantastic. Finally, a big thank you for the preservation of the house reef, which is beautifully maintained thanks to the remarkable work of the Marine Lab, allowing guests to enjoy a rich and well-preserved marine life. A truly exceptional resort where every detail is designed to create an unforgettable stay. We leave with wonderful memories and will definitely return.
