Banyantree Maldives

Time moves imperceptibly in the Maldivian archipelago. Cast away on a secluded coral atoll, you experience a sense of magic, romance and tranquility at Banyan Tree Maldives Vabbinfaru that is second to none. In 1995, a most luxurious resort opened on Vabbinfaru Island, part of North Malé Atoll. There are no cars or roads here, just a beach leading to coral gardens.

You'll find paradise here - catching the salty tang of the sea breeze as you wake up in the morning, swimming among the 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 sky.

The Maldives is an oceanic destination par excellence. Ashore, you'll find 48 exclusive shell-shaped villas and a brand new presidential suite. Each has a terrace, private garden and ocean view; The Jacuzzi Ocean view Villa has its own private outdoor whirlpool. In every way, the facilities combine excellence with eco-sensitivity. Dine in the Sangu Garden under a canopy of a billion stars amidst a palm cove overlooking the Indian Ocean, or in the Ilaafathi Restaurant where you will enjoy both International and Maldivian cuisine. At the Naiboli Bar enjoy cocktails at sunset or simply relax under its beautiful spiralling roof. At the water world of Vabbinfaru, time moves imperceptibly, and you'll discover maritime life from a unique and pampered perspective.
