Be cast away into paradise on earth at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru. Experience a sense of enchantment and romance as you spend the day trailing between sun, sand and sea. Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru is designed following the Asian village concept, a cluster of one story wooden structures covered by thatched roofs. Designed for seclusion and privacy, guests can unwind in their little haven, undisturbed.

With the magnificent Indian Ocean at your doorstep, interrupted only by powdery white sand, you will desire never to leave Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru. Encircled by a white powdery beach, 48 elegantly rustic villas are nestled on a coral atoll in the Indian Ocean. Uniquely designed to reflect a seashell spiral, the understated elegance of conical thatched roof villas imparts a sense of traditional Maldivian magic.

Banyan Tree is a five-star PADI Gold Palm Resort dive center offering Nitrox and a full range of diving course by highly professional, enthusiastic, PADI certified instructors.

The Banyan Tree Maldives Marine Lab on the island is the first of its kind to be funded and built by a private resort. Guests can join specially trained in-house divers to monitor programs such as reef and species inventory checks, and even sponsor their own coral gardens. The laboratory is equipped with instruments for research in coral biology and ecology, and green sea turtle conservation.
