We have just returned from our 6th visit to Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru and have not been disappointed once again...in fact we were so confident that we would have another amazing holiday there this year that we had already booked our trip back there for next year before we left this year! Its absolute heaven, all the staff are fantastic, they... More

This trip exceeded our expectations, the island is beautiful, and the sea and coral reef are spectacular. We snorkelled every day and saw sharks, turtles, stingrays, along with countless other coloured fish. The staff were great, friendly and helpful but also just reserved enough. The emphasis on the ecology and sustainability was the icing on the cake. Food good too.... More

Towards the end of our 10 day holiday on Vabbinfaru my wife accidently injured her feet. The compassionate response from the staff was fantastic. In no time they had arranged a boat to transfer her to the hospital at Mali. We were accompanied by Ali Nasheed, the Assistant Front Desk Manager who ensured that she immediately received treatment in the... More

I'm from Beijiing, China. We had wonderful holiday in Vabbinfaru, Banya Tree! People in there are friendly, the scenery is amazing, everything was great! We chose Vabbinfaru by its well known snorkling area and its undestroyed reefs! We spent 4nights/6days in there, our staying became more memorable after an event. I carelessly lost my iphone4s on the way from my... More

For those of you reading this looking to go there also for the first time like us, we can tell you that we have... More

This is a very pleasant journey. The blue sky, clean beaches, clear water, comfortable villa, delicious food, quiet spa, thoughtful service, let us in an earthly paradise, no worries. Especially the snorkeling, saw the sea, coral, sharks, turtles and all the beautiful fish in the ocean, I have never seen the beauty of. I think we'll be back.

Right from when we arrived at Male airport we were met by the Banyan Tree staff and taken to our speed boat for a 25 minute ride to our destination. It was late approx 11pm so we were very tired and filled with excitement for our holiday. We were not disappointed in anyway with this amazing little island with so... More

Any criticisms we have are so minor they are really not worth mentioning - so i won't. The island is a tropical dream, the staff superb (very friendly, very good and seemed to actually enjoy their work), the food lovely and never boring. Special thanks to the chef who, without prompting, made a special fish curry for our son -... More

great bar, great food, great diving center, beautiful beach!
