Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru

The island was exceptional as was the service and amenities. Everything worked smoothly and we enjoyed it thoroughly.

Staff make you feel at home and it is stunningly beautiful.

The resort has a great house reef (thanks to not having built over-water villas on it) where, just snorkeling, we saw a turtle, an eagle ray, a sting ray, and multiple reef sharks.

This resort is amazing. We stayed for one week with our baby in one of the wellness villas. Before our trip we were nervous that the expirience might not be as good as in the pictures but once we arrived it was even better than we imagnied. Every single staff member is super friendly, very professional and always there to assist. The whole island is very clean and well taken care off. The 3 (4) restaurants offer a good variety of food options for reasonable prices. The ocean is amazing and the reef for snorkling is just minutes away where we were able to see turtles, sharks and a crazy amount of fish. There are many smaller activities available on the island and some of them were free of charge for us because of our wellness villa. We want to say a special thanks to Ali from housekeeping and to Sejal and Fipit from hospitality staff who took extra care of us during our stay. We highly recommend this resort and hopefully one day we will able to come back. Thanks to everyone who made our stay so special!

If there is anything to critisize at all it would be the portion size in the Japanese restaurant. The food is super tasty but if you are very hungry in the evening after a day full of snorkling the portions could be a little bit bigger.

Everything, the villa, staff, food all amazing

The island is very peaceful and not overcrowded at all. I highly recommend Marine Lab and Henry's exceptional presentation about marine life and conservation. There are lots of opportunities for snorkelling, diving and other water sports. The staff were super kind and helpful. We would like to make a special thank you for the staff to make our holiday perfect, especially, Okta, Henry, Hassan etc.

I have to say, our holiday was perfect, but if I have to say one comment, it would be the food selection. On the island, there are two restaurants, a Japanese and a Thai and a buffet bar 3 times a week. The buffet dinners were excellent, huge selection and very delicious. The only downside is the selection of the food, regardless if you are on half board/full board or all-inclusive, you have to pay the extra fee after certain meals, not all foods are included, and for that reason, the selection of the food was very limited.
