"Soft sand island close to Male."

8.0

This was our second visit to this island. We loved the new Japanese restaurant, and the island has lots of very soft sand. The house reef is also good.

The rooms could need an update now. They're starting to feel a bit old. There's really no great space to put suitcases in the room for instance.

Ничего

from the very first day of my arrival they fooled me and tried to cheat me out of money, they said for new percentages. The choice of food is terribly small, they charge extra for everything, it's just awful

"A gem in the Maldives"

10.0

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.

Nothing!
