From the world beyond to a world within, cast away your concerns and prepare to rejuvenate your senses in this enchanting Elysium. Situated within the paradisiacal Maldives archipelago; Vabbinfaru, meaning ‘round island circled by a round coral reef’ in Maldivian, is the apotheosis of elegance.
Experience the peace and tranquility of this natural sanctuary from an array of secluded villas scattered along glittering beaches. Enjoy the luxury of a large landscaped garden with ocean views, al fresco living pavilion, sundeck and jet pool at the Vabbinfaru Villa or watch the stunning ocean vista unfold from the terrace of a Beachfront or Ocean Front Villa. Whatever your choice, the five different villa types are sure to provide you with unparalleled privacy and a spectacular setting that’s second to none.
As tempting as it might be not to venture beyond the pampered realm of your villa and seclusion of the luxurious spa, it is imperative you explore the riches of this reef bound lagoon and encounter its exotic marine life; with fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling all providing the perfect opportunity to do so. The resort also has a five star golden palm PADI dive centre allowing you to truly capture the electrifying essence of this coral atoll from the depths of its crystal clear waters. However, it is without doubt that the most unique activity the Banyan Tree has to offer is the evening ritual of feeding wild stingrays from the beach.
Eating is an equally exceptional experience, with guests able to savour the true spirit of the Maldives whilst dining under a starlit canopy amongst flaming torches, or from the beachfront restaurant Ilaafathi which serves indulgent buffet breakfasts and sumptuous set dinners.
