The Beauteous Banyan Tree Resort Maldives
Resort This five star Banyan Tree Resort Maldives lies in the North Malé Atoll on the island of Vabbinfaru. You can get to the island in about 25 minutes by speedboat from Malé International Airport. This Banyan Tree resort is a small circular island surrounded by a ring of white sand and a shallow turquoise lagoon that stretches out far from shore.
Ideal For…This is a resort that’s known to be a secluded haunt for honeymooners and other couples seeking a romantic getaway in the Maldives.
OverviewThis Banyan Tree resort on Vabbinfaru is small enough to wander around in the time it takes to break the eggs, cook an omelette and eat it: That’s 20 minutes or less to you and me. Your speedboat drops you both off at the edge of the lagoon when you arrive.
The jetty you step onto stretches for about a hundred meters to the sandy fringe of the The Banyan Tree resort. Maldives islands often have these extended jetties traversing the lagoons too shallow for boats to cross.
Banyan Tree Resort Maldives (Vabbinfaru) Accommodation 12 Beachfront Villas nestle among the foliage and trees opening onto the white sand beach.

Banyan Tree Resort Maldives (Vabbinfaru) Specialities The Spa Centre once experienced, for some, takes over their holiday! Spacious treatment rooms beautifully designed in the Indonesian style, long muslin curtains shifting in the warm breeze... Excellent services from the Balinese and Thai therapists make this Banyan Tree Spa… a retreat in itself.
Hmm… Anything else catch your eye?The Marine Centre plays an important part of Banyan Tree life, from raising awareness about the environment to breeding and tagging the endangered green sea turtles. There is a lot to see and be a part of as a visitor when it comes to the Banyan Tree Resort Maldives environment.
As mentioned for other resorts and generally for the tropics; there can be flying insects so take some repellant with you. It is sold on the island but if they were to sell out you couldn't just pop into town to buy some!
If you would like something more private than the restaurant then there's the candlelit dinner for two on a sandbank with waters lapping at your feet. It is an extraordinary experience.
The more expensive rooms are on the west side of this Banyan Tree resort. Maldives island accommodation on Banyan Tree is designed and built to make the most of the afternoon sun and glorious sunsets.
Enjoy your Banyan Tree Resort Maldives holiday!
