Banyan Tree Resort became a true oasis of peace and comfort for us during our vacation. It was an amazing experience! The first thing that stands out is the incredible friendliness and sincerity of the staff. It felt like we were visiting old friends. Everything at the resort is organized to perfection: from impeccable service to cozy villas surrounded by natural beauty. This Hotel definitely deserves 5 stars! I tried the massage and spa treatments and was absolutely delighted—every detail was handled with care and attention. I also recommend the yoga classes and meditation sessions held daily—it’s a real treat for the soul. The room was cleaned twice a day, and I am especially grateful to Najaah for her attentiveness and tact—everything was spotless and neatly arranged. We also tried diving for the first time and were pleasantly surprised by the instructor’s approach. He carefully explained everything, was very attentive, and supported us throughout, showing us the most breathtaking underwater spots. It was an amazing experience that is absolutely worth trying in the Maldives! Banyan Tree Resort is the perfect place to disconnect from the daily hustle, recharge, and find inner harmony. Thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable stay, you are truly the best!

Beautiful island only a short speed boat ride from Male. The whole premise of the Banyan Tree is that it is an understated luxury which is perfectly in keeping with the small, intimate island on which it sits. The rooms are lovely - thatched roofs, outside (and inside) showers, great views out over the beach, great little pools and hot tubs, multiple places to sit and relax in the sun or shade, hammocks etc.. The island has a back-packer feel - sandy paths winding through the trees, sand on the floor in the restaurant. But the standard of food and amenities is exceptional and the new Japanese restaurant with it's infinity pool looking over the reef is just a brilliant place to enjoy the setting sun. What really made it special for us were the staff - truly outstanding. Helpful, smiley, engaged, attentive - particularly Sai (on the barbeque), Nafiz in the restaurant and Habeeb on the reception. If you want parties and night life or banana boats and bling - this is not the place for you. If you want to feel like you are Robinson Crusoe on a paradise Island with unparalleled service and amenities - then head for the Banyan Tree!

This was our 4th stay at Vabbinfaru, and it truly feels like our home away from home. The recent updates to the villas are moderate but noticeable, maintaining their charm while adding improvements. The new restaurants are fantastic—Saffron provides exceptionally good Thai food, and Sangu Garden blends naturally with the environment, offering a lovely alternative dining experience. What keeps bringing us back is the warm and super-friendly staff, the unique Robinson Crusoe feeling with sand everywhere (and no water villas!), the delicious food, the great house reef, and the private, quiet atmosphere. There were a couple of minor, temporary glitches related to the introduction of the new restaurants. Nevertheless, our concerns were handled swiftly and professionally, ensuring our stay remained memorable. We love this island so much that we’ve already booked our next visit in March! Highly recommended for those seeking a serene and authentic Maldivian escape.

A remarkable experience only possible due to an impressive attention to detail from all the staff, from the resort host, chef, cleaning, F&B, front office, "juice" gentleman, etc! From the whitesand beach, to the villa, sunset, restaurants, new Madi Hiyaa, there are several highlights. Activities are great: snorkeling on the house reef and sister island, night fishing (and cooking it), volleyball, time really flies... Last but not least, it achieves the desired outcome with a calm and reserved experience during the stay on the island - from all the resorts we have stayed in the past this one ticks all the boxes

The staff (okta, nata, sirima, the local staff who took care of us during breakfast and dinner, the lad who turned down our villa 41 every evening, the nepali girl and indonesian chef at madi hiyaa, etc (too many to list here!)) were all so friendly and attentive 😄 and of course the sea was so beautiful!
