We stayed with our 11 month old baby at the Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru at the beginning of December 2012. The weather was beautiful at this time of the year. The hotel is only around 20 minute from the airport with the boat. As we travelled with our baby we didn’t have to worry about baggage allowances which apply to the... More

I have stayed in Banyan Tree resorts in the past and I have to say that they are often the yardstick in which luxury resorts should be measured against. The resort at Vabbinfaru is no different, nice villas, a peaceful location and friendly staff, you could argue that this Banyan Tree resort is the best of the lot. When you... More

Another great stay, though I do feel there is room for improvement, the plunge pools are a great addition and quite big, jacuzzi is also great. The thing that really got to us this time was the heat, the humidity made it quite uncomfortable in the daytime they really need to incorporate some sort of cooling to the Naboli bar... More

We have been visiting Banyan Tree three times already and hope to come back there again. Beautiful resort, fabulous food and perfect SPA. We have stayed in some other very good resorts in Maldives, but Banyan Tree with it's well taken care of House Reef is just works like a magnet to us. Highly recommended. Bill and Elena.
