Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru
This rustic island is small in size, with pristine white sands and crystal-clear waters. It also provides the perfect backdrop for a romantic getaway.
There are only 48 elegantly designed pool villas that all offer their own privacy. They are all naturally decorated and set amongst the lush and tropical gardens meaning they are the perfect setting for a lazy afternoon.
There are two beachfront restaurants, featuring a stunning selection of local and international dishes. For a more romantic experience, guests can enjoy their own candle-lit dinner in the comfort of their own villa or on the beach.
Or for a more breath-taking experience, a meal can be arranged at a sandbank which is accessible by boat.
The island is fringed with immaculate powder soft beaches, and the house reef is bustling with marine life such as turtles, white tip sharks, manta rays, lobsters, and may fish species. There is also a resident marine biologist who’s research projects include coral planting, and species inventory checks, as well as many reef shark conservation.
The Banyan Tree spa has a focus on traditional Asian healing, and guests can relax with one of the signature treatments on offer. There is also a dive school, water sports, and guests can book trips out fishing or sailing.
