Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru

An Insider's Take
'This adults-only paradise sits on a pristine coral island where you can walk the entire perimeter in just 10 minutes, yet discover endless wonders both above and below the crystal-clear waters.' What's Special? Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru is built on one of the smallest resort islands in the Maldives, measuring only 400 meters long. The resort pioneered luxury spa treatments in the Maldives and features the archipelago's first overwater spa pavilions. Each villa comes with a dedicated "Mr. Friday" butler, and the house reef is home to over 60 species of coral and frequent manta ray visits.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the sunset dolphin cruise - Vabbinfaru sits in one of the Maldives' most active dolphin corridors, with spinner dolphins frequently spotted just minutes from the resort.
Don't Miss The signature "Romance by the Sand Bank" experience on a private uninhabited island, and snorkeling at the house reef's "Manta Point" where these gentle giants glide just meters from your villa deck during feeding season (May to November).
