North Male Atoll, Maldives

Banyan Tree Maldives Vabbinfaru

Banyan Tree resorts are very sensual. Scented towels, music in the rooms, an amazing spa, a pristine beach and attentive service make the whole experience extremely enjoyable.

The rooms are built closer to each other than many of the newer resorts which can be a slight hindrance to ultimate privacy. However, the value is very good because of this.

For those looking for the all-inclusive - this is one of the best options in the islands. All meals are included and raved about.

Cast away on a secluded coral atoll in the paradisaical Maldives archipelago, you experience a sense of magic, romance and tranquility at Banyan Tree Maldives Vabbinfaru that is second to none. You will find paradise here - catching the salty tang of the sea breeze as you wake up in the morning, swimming in between the wondrous sea creatures that dwell forty feet below, luxuriating in the pampered comfort of your own elegant villa and marveling at the magnificent splash of stars in the night.

At Banyan Tree, guests choose from Oceanview Villas, dripping with privacy with their own open-air jet pool on a wooden patio in the walled garden. There are also Beachfront Villas located right on the sand, include private outdoor jet pools and sundecks, and Deluxe Oceanview Villas that open on to a large sundeck at the front that leads to the powder-soft beach. They boast a glitzy bathroom at the back with an outdoor jet pool and garden shower. Deluxe Beachfront Villas include all the amenities of Deluxe Oceanview Villas, but are located right on the beach.

For the discerning traveler, there is also an extravagant Vabbinfaru Villa complete with the luxury of a large landscaped garden with ocean views, al fresco living pavilion, beach sala pavilion, sundeck, jet pool and outdoor shower.
