There are no words to describe this holiday. It is pure paradise. The Banyan Tree is paradise, everything and everyone was amazing. The villas are beautiful and they are cleaned twice a day. The food at the restaurants was out of this word. The attention to detail and the service was 5 stars. The spa was amazing. It was abit pricey but it was worth every penny. We did scuba diving and again the service was perfect. They went out of their way to accommodate us. The staff all over the resort went out of their way to make you feel like royalty. It is going to be hard adjusting to normal life back home!.. we had a wonderful time and look forward to returning. We snorkelled everyday and it was like swimming in an aquarium. It was a very relaxing stress free holiday. I would totally recommend the Banyan Tree, you will not be disappointed. We had a direct flight from London and then a 25 minute transfer from Male by speedboat. Everything went smoothly, no stress, no delays.

Once you see it, you wish you could stay here forever. The hotel is in a convenient location and easily accessible by speedboat in 25min. You might think that being relatively close to Male is negative, but once you reach the island all the doubts will disappear. The island is magnificent, perfectly maintained as well as the whole hotel. The house reef all around the hotel allows for very special encounters with tons of fishes, sharks, rays, turtles, etc. Shall you ever get bored by this reef, you can just jump on the boat and go to the nearby hotel and continue exploring. In any case the best thing is the service: Gulzar was excellent, she made everything to make our stay unforgettable and surprised us every day. The rest of the staff was also very caring and attentive to every need. The room was always spotless and serviced twice a day. The restaurants were all excellent, both in quality and service.

A truly 10/10 experience at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru. The detail and attention throughout the resort is what you’d expect from a 5* hotel, but the staff and their level of service deserve 10 stars - The team are so kind, calm and will never fail to acknowledge you with a genuine smile no matter what time of the day it is! If you want a real dreamlike environment filled with peace, Banyan Vabbinfaru is highly recommended. The style of the room’s are authentic, aligning very well with the nature throughout the resort. There are a number of activities to do, a few restaurant choices and you truly feel a nice level of privacy as you walk around the island. A massive thank you to the team for an amazing experience!

A beautiful serene island. The staff make this island so very special. The rooms are very private and well equipped. The all inclusive package is very good. Snorkelling on the house reef is absolutely superb. Use of the sister islands facilities is great. I highly recommended the Banyan tree.
