Great place but not worth what we paid
Ventajas: This property should not be considered a luxury hotel. It felt like an upscale summer camp. It was probably really wonderful 15 years ago but it’s in desperate need of a facelift. It has all the makings of a great place and the staff is TOP NOTCH. Unfortunately, the facilities are nowhere near the quality of the staff. The food is decent but not great. Had I paid the rate I’d seen for the weeks before and after we were there, I’d be thrilled. However, for what we paid, we could’ve stayed somewhere much nicer and newer with more activities and better restaurant options. It’s a shame. Also, the fitness room is terrible!! The treadmill is so old and actually a bit dangerous. We only planned to stay here two nights but because of Covid, our plans were changed and we had to stay for 5. We had a wonderful time at Banyan Tree, but I’m having trouble getting over the poor value. If you pay under $800/night, all inclusive with all the taxes and fees, it’s worth it. Otherwise, skip it.

Wonderful journey!
Ventajas: We liked the location of the island and location of the villa at the island. We took the beachfront one and it gave us the luxury of sitting near the water without sun grilling. The water was super clear, although you need to swim quite far to reach the coral reef. We also liked the possibility to use room service 24/7 as the view at the ocean from our villa was better than the restaurant's one.
Contras: The only thing was sand flies who bit our son the first day as he played on the sand.

Ventajas: Food was basic and could never eat at the beach restaurant even though chairs always laid out for it.
Contras: The beach pergolas were an eye sore. Too many boats parked around island. Sand dredging machines an eye sore.

Ventajas: Absolut paradiesische kleine Insel mit wunderschönen Villen direkt am Strand. Super zuvorkommendes, freundliches und sehr hilfsbereites Personal. Eine Oase des Glückes und der Entspannung.
Contras: Wir haben nichts, aber auch gar nichts zu meckern. Es geht wie immer um die eigenen Erwartungen. Wenn man hier jeden Abend Party und Entertainment erwartet, wird man enttäuscht. Hier geht es um Ruhe, Luxus und absolute Entspannung!

Хороший отель
Ventajas: Были 5 дней сначала в Constance Halaveli, затем 5 дней в Banyan. Конечно, Banyan проигрывает Constance, однако вполне достойный отель. Что понравилось: 1. Хороший живой домашний риф (видели и черепах, и лобстеров, и рифовых акул, и акул нянек, осьминогов). 2. Вечером с пирса кормят 8 крупных скатов хвостоколов, а ближе к ночи можно покормить булочками из ресторана акул нянек с пирса, где причаливают лодки. 3. Ухоженная территория, стильные, хотя и не большие виллы (все виллы практически одинаковые, не переплачивайте за beachfront или spa). 4. Завтраки и ужины не плохие, но по сравнению с Constance завтрак страдает. 5. Обязательно берите и завтраки и ужины, так как на острове всего один ресторан и все равно придётся ужинать в нем. Хотя до 19 вы можете прекрасно поужинать и на пляже.
Contras: 1. Персонал «расслабленный» или «растерянный», на завтраке иной раз не здороваются и складывается ощущение, что тебе делают одолжение, принося вторую чашку кофе. 2. Иногда приходилось по несколько раз звонить на рецепшен, чтобы добиться нужного. 3. Минибар пустой, приносят только по требованию. Причём заполнить его по «стандарту» отказались. В целом, отель хороший, но вот если бы цена за ночь была 30 тыс. вместо 49 тыс., то было бы справедливо. А так, в следующий раз мы выберем Constance.

Pleasant
Ventajas: Ok location close to Male’
Contras: Half of the island is loosing sand and they had a pump reclaiming sand in the beach that is not the most pleasant thing to see. The personnel and the staff are good. The villas are old but cute and I think they are too close to each other .... I have been in other resorts in the Maldives. I am biased because I have tried much better resorts and plus it was not COVID time. I needed to rest, not to spend too much money and it was a good time after all. But if you are looking for your dream Maldives island and you can afford it, look around a little more. I believe it’s an ok resort. And the personnel is really good in making your stay nice and relaxing.

Wonderful
Ventajas: Обслуживание в номерах было на высшем уровне. Кормление скатов! Отличный не навязчивый персонал.
Contras: Риф погиб и скорее всего из-за этого западную часть острова подмывает, тем не менее отель на спешит ставить бетонные блоки на риф, а пытается решать проблему более дорогим и гуманным способом - намывая песок. Проблема с рифами на Мальдивах началась в 2016 году и это происходит повсеместно. Так что это обстоятельство не должно вас отталкивать от выбора именно этого отеля, Хороший риф надо будет искать с местными экспертами из тур агентов.

Great tropical getaway
Ventajas: Spacious bungalow with quality tea and coffe amenities, a small swimig pool and a hot water whirlpool. Decent breakfast, white sand beach, some corals still there to snorkel along, easy ride from the airport (speed boat), open buffet dinners were really good. Kids frienly. A little life hack: fish and chips from kids menu was amazing, absolutely worth to try. Breathtaking sunsets.
Contras: Second week was all storms and showers, sitting in the room with very limited choice of TV channels was not much fun. Not their fault but next to Male on a neighboring island they now have a waste incineration plant that prodices smoke visible from miles away day and night, a few times when wind's been changing we could feel a smell and that's not what you expect on a tropical island... Most of the time it was fine, but the fact of having a waste burning facility near ocean atolls is outrageous!

Contras: الصراحه كل شي جميل لكن 1.كونها جزيره وغابات تكثر الحشرات😪 والعناكب. 2 .وصوت البحر شديد سبب لي الصداع. 3. زجاج الغرفه المطله على البحر شفاف وكاشف للجميع الكل يشوفك وانته نايم اذا مر من امام الغرفه من الجهه البحريه وهذا حسسني بالخوف وعدم الخصوصيه والراحه اتمنى ان يتم وضع عاكس على الزجاج حتى الواحد يستمتع بمنظر البحر والحصول على الخصوصيه بنفس الوقت.

If there is paradise, it’s there!
Ventajas: Everything was perfect apart from the weather! The representative of the hotel met me in the airport and took me straight to the island with the speed boat-it’s about 25’ from the airport jetty to the island. The island is like paradise! Exotic, relaxing, beautiful, surrounded by tirquoise water beach! The villa was very beautiful, super clean, with a private pool and jacuzzi, located just in front of the beach. The beach is sandy and very pretty (white sand mixed with broken corals gives an amazing colour). They offer anything u may need-snorkelling, workout sessions during the day, spa facilities, buffer menus. Also, the room offers very nice slippers, lots of toiletries and amazing aroma shower gel! A dedicated person comes twice a day to make up the room, replace anything needed to be replaced, making the bed, etc. also, they had decorated my room and they had already put a cake on my room since i arrived on the day of my bday. Lastly, i asked for late checkout and they gave me a good price which made my stay looking prolonged and i enjoyed the day i was leaving to the maximum!
Contras: If i have to find something negative is abt the dinner buffet. The variety was not very big. I would expect more for a 5* hotel. But this is the onky negative. As a plus, they had live music in the restaurant!

The resort blends harmoniously into the native island providing a true Maldivian idyllic experience
Ventajas: A remarkable experience only possible due to an impressive attention to detail from all the staff, from the resort host, chef, cleaning, F&B, front office, "juice" gentleman, etc! From the whitesand beach, to the villa, sunset, restaurants, new Madi Hiyaa, there are several highlights. Activities are great: snorkeling on the house reef and sister island, night fishing (and cooking it), volleyball, time really flies... Last but not least, it achieves the desired outcome with a calm and reserved experience during the stay on the island - from all the resorts we have stayed in the past this one ticks all the boxes

Banyan Tree, una garanzia. Ti accolgono in modo amichevole. Il GM è una persona fantastica con un sorriso che ti fa sentire subito a casa. Le ville sono da sogno, soprattutto la Grand Villa: spaziosa, super confortevole, la zona bagno in and out è superlativa. Design che si fonde perfettamente con la natura circostante. Personale sempre disponibile, gentilissimo e sorridente. provato il nuovo giapponese, ottimo per un pranzo e per l'aperitivo serale al tramonto. Visitato anche la sister property dove è ottimo lo snorkeling.

Wir wollten in diesem Jahr 2 Inseln besuchen und waren zum Abschluss noch für 5 Tage auf Banyan tree…wir waren bereits 2019 da und haben dies zum Anlass genommen, die Insel ein zweites Mal zu besuchen, wobei wir feststellen mussten, dass der Wohlfühlfaktor und das Maledivenfeeling doch etwas nachgelassen hat. Die Nähe zum Male ist deutlich zu spüren, man hörte tagsüber einige Wasserflugzeuge über die Insel fliegen, nicht nur am Abend ist die Skyline von Male deutlich zu sehen. Im Restaurant war die Auswahl der Speisen im Gegensatz zu der Insel, wo wir vorweg waren, deutlich spärlicher….was uns sehr sehr gefehlt hatte, im Gegensatz zu 2019 war der * Lunch am Beach und die Eisstation gleich daneben. Lunch und Dinner am Beach gibt es nur noch recht selten, die Frage: Warum? Tische stehen zur Genüge da…leider nicht eingedeckt. Außerdem schien mir auch der Service im Restaurant, bis auf wenige Ausnahmen etwas Touristenmüde zu sein…Lynn hat sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben, doch vermissten wir im Gegensatz zur davor besuchten Insel, die Struktur im Service. Die Tische scheinen nicht den einzelnen Servicekräften zugeteilt zu sein, so kam es vor, dass mein Kaffee erst „zwei Runden drehte“, bevor er meinen Tisch erreichte.||Sauberkeit top, Zimmer ok, Massage (Wellnessbereich) top, die neue Bar mit infinity-Pool nice, leider zu unserer Zeit im Januar 2024 sehr windig, von daher war ein Aufenthalt dort kaum möglich und dementsprechend wenig, bis keine Gäste dort anzutreffen. Live Grill unser high-light…alles andere eher durchschnittlich….wurde ihrem 5 * Sterne Anspruch in diesem Jahr leider nicht gerecht…

Le cadre est splendide et le personnel d'une incroyable gentillesse. |Nous avions une chambre en front de mer côté coucher de soleil (bien moins venteux que l'autre côté de l'ile), la vue était magique et bien que les bungalows soient assez rapprochés nous avions l'impression d'être seuls au monde. |Nous avions opté pour la formule All incluse et n'avons pas regretté notre choix, la nourriture était excellente et variée, de plus le forfait incluait de bons vins et une large sélection de cocktails. |Nous avons également apprécié de pouvoir profiter gratuitement d'un catamaran pendant notre séjour ainsi que de pouvoir faire du snorkeling sur le récif de l'ile en face. C'était un véritable aquarium et nous avons vu énormément de requins. |Le spa vaut également la peine, le massage était vraiment excellent.|Cet hôtel de taille humaine offre un service 5* chaleureux et sans prétention, on se sent comme à la maison.

We had a great time here. The island is beautiful, so is the house reef. It is our 6th time in Maldives so have some reference data:)|The staff is very helpful and try to do their best to make sure you have an amazing experience.|One thing we really liked is the fact there is a sister resort nearby that you can visit free of charge and you can enjoy all the benefits (e.g. the all inclusive package)||On the minus side - I would say the food is not on par with other resorts we have visited.

From the elegant ,authentic and meticulous preparation with the flower girls and drummers walking the bride down the beach to the surprises including the planting of a coconut the ceremony could not have been any more special.||||We have so many people to thank and each and every person on the island touched our hearts.Special thanks must however go to Riyaz our master of ceremony, Shau our wedding coordinator, Jien , our stand in bridesmaid and Hassan our room designer along with all of the chefs and restaurant staff XX thank you for making our dreams come true we will remember our time at the Banyan Tree forever x

A 20 minuti da Malè, considerato tra i migliori resort dell’Atollo Kaafu, ex isola pubblicità Muratti, il Banyan Tree fa del rispetto per la natura circostante il suo punto di forza:|Niente muretti antierosione, niente watervilla, nessun utilizzo della plastica, insomma Vieni catapultato subito in una dimensione più naturalistica del vivere le Maldive che, già belle di per se, in questo modo, mostrano il loro lato più bello.|Aggiungiamo a ciò una stanza che sembra una mini SPA con un bagno all’aperto mozzafiato completato da idromassaggio e piscina privata, due docce, essenze ed oli profumati cambiati giornalmente, sottofondo musicale soft, Khaleel che ti vizia portandoti tutti i giorni una carineria diversa, uno spazio privato fuori la stanza con lettini al sole, lettini all’ombra, amaca, tavolino e sedie e soprattutto una vista ed un mare mozzafiato a pochi metri che ti entrano nella stanza grazie ad enormi portefinestre.|Due ristoranti: uno principale ed uno nuovo bellissimo a forma di manta che offre solo cucina giapponese, entrambi di livello molto alto a prova di mia moglie molto selettiva sul cibo, alternano una cucina molto varia e un susseguirsi di serate barbecue, a tema, alla carte e a buffet.|L’isola ha la tipica forma tonda ed é circondata da una bellissima spiaggia bianca borotalco ed un mare balneabile per tutta la sua circonferenza (un po’ più bella e balneabile la zona sottovento lato tramonto), inoltre é circondata da un bellissimo reef facilmente raggiungibile e pieno di pesci (mai visti così tanti squaletti pinna nera).|Simpatica l’idea di poter visitare e pranzare anche sull’ isola vicina, pur se di livello più basso, ma ottima alternativa per praticare uno snorkeling diverso.|Quinta volte alle Maldive, non deludono mai, ma soprattutto il Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru viene promosso a pieni voti!

Good place with high quality service. The villas are not new, however, very nice, spacious and private. Food is amazing, especially grill. Extremely professional grill specialist Rajesh, very attentive director Jerry. I’m completely satisfied with my vacation and I’m going to advise it to all my friends and family members.

We booked this hotel as it had a great last minute offer over Christmas & new year. When we landed we were greeted well & the boat ride was seamless. We had booked the express check in but we felt like many things were not explained properly, we asked about where to eat for lunch but no mention was made of the beach bar which caused confusion. The room was old and dated ( I’m sure the staff also would love a renovation ) many of the plugs didn’t work in the room and it felt really tired. The bathroom / storage and wardrobe was all outdoors which was a challenge as in the heat our clothes were getting damp from the humidity and it was too hot to do make up outside, no mirror in the main room. The villas/rooms are very very close together which we didn’t realize when we booked this resort, I could see into my neighbors gardens & hold hands on the sun-bed on the beach, it was that close! Lots of screaming children at night as the rooms are paper thin. The food was good , we went for the half board, lunch was expensive and the drinks but we expected that. Staff were ok but we felt that the management could do more to really get them to be more proactive, offering drinks quicker & less chit chat for example. We decided to plan a trip to swim with sharks, we had it cancelled a few times due to weather but once we finally went - the boat broke down in the middle of the ocean, the water hose exploded and we were stranded. The team called for help and a small rescue boat came to us and took us back. We missed the trip as we ran out of time. What surprised us is that nobody at the hotel checked to see if we were ok. Nobody asked or apologized. The marine team are really lovely people and were helpful but the management should of been made aware as this was quite serious.

Dopo aver letto milioni di recensioni io e il mio compagno abbiamo scelto la struttura di Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru per una vacanza sicuramente dedicata a mare e relax dopo 8 giorni di viaggio in Tailandia.||Del Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru ci hanno convinti la sua vicinanza a Male, il numero ridotto di camere, la non presenza dei water bungalows, la presenza di una sister island che ci consentisse di poter visitare due reef, la presenza di un programma di Yoga, le sue energie che si percepivano già dalle foto.. e dai commenti dei turisti che l'avevano già vissuta.||Abbiamo trovato molto molto di più e siamo rientrati con occhi e cuori colmi ed entusiasti delle bellissime esperienze fatte su questa Isola, affascinati dal suo concept, dai suoi valori, della sua natura, del suo mare, del reef, dallo staff, dalla la sua ospitalità, dalla sua cura per gli ospiti, dalla privacy, dall'easiness, dall'eccellenza in tutto ciò che ci é stato proposto.|Sicuramente per come siamo fatti e per ciò che cercavamo Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru ha rappresentato per noi un perfect matching.||I protagonisti numero 1 delle nostre giornate sono stati sicuramente il mare, i suoi colori, il reef, la natura incontaminata e curatissima sull'isola, lo staff che ha sempre lavorato per fornirci un servizio eccellente....||Avevamo già contattato Ibrahim del servizio di prenotazioni per chiedere, se possibile, la assegnazione di una camera sul lato tramonto.... e così é stato. La camera 19, Gonu.|Sono già stata diverse volte alle Maldive e adoro poter osservare i colori dei tramonti leggendo un libro o facendo l'ultimo bagno....e così é stato.||Avevo già contattato la Spa per prenotare le lezioni di Yoga che amo fare ogni mattina. Il Dott. Sharma é stato un eccellente maestro che, ogni giorno, ha ascoltato e compreso ogni richiesta e necessità costruendo in maniera personalizzata e taylor made ogni lezione. La sala di Yoga é un vero sogno.||Ho utilizzato anche la Palestra per le prime 6 mattine, prima della lezione di Yoga, e mi sono trovata benissimo. Tutti i macchinari sono di ultimissima generazione, performanti e sicuramente molto facili da utilizzare. Complimenti per le scelte della location, dello spazio, della vista sul mare...||Abbiamo acquistato un pacchetto che prevedeva colazione pranzo e cena... ed abbiamo sempre apprezzato ogni proposta di menu con diverse opzioni e/o di buffet. La qualità della frutta, dei prodotti é sempre stata eccellente. La presenza costante del barbecue dove il cuoco preparava sul momento carne pesce e verdure... é stato uno dei nostri preferiti.|Mangiare quindi per noi eccellente.||Ed infine lo staff, preparatissimo, molto professionale, mai invadente che ha cercato di assecondare ogni nostro desiderio.||La camera meravigliosa.... pulitissima, direttamente sul mare, con terrazzino e con una spettacolare area di lettura .... quasi sull'acqua ci ha fatti innamorare ulteriormente di questa Isola .||Prima di partire ci siamo complimentati con tutti per l'esperienza che ci hanno consentito di vivere, per il loro impegno e per il loro effort di rendere ogni nostro desiderio possibile.||Husham, Lynn.... e tutti i camerieri.... così come lo staff direttivo dell'Isola complimenti, non vediamo l'ora di organizzare una nostr prox visita alla Isola da Sogno di Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru.||A presto ed ancora grazie!!|Monica & Franco

Never been anywhere like it. From the facilities to all the staff couldn’t fault the place at all. The island was beautiful and very well maintained the island was always kept clean to an exceptional standard. The food was excellent every day, we were all inclusive and we never had a bad meal once. I’d like to give a special thank you to Aiman who served us every day with a smile and Rajesh who cooked our food on the grill exactly how we wanted it. Sad to be leaving we will definitely be back❤️🏝️

We spent 10 days after Christmas and over the New Year on Vabbinfaru Island (2x Beachfront Villa looking to the East) and have very much enjoyed our stay. Despite bad weather with strong winds and heavy rain in the first days, the Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru Team has always kept spirits high and was passionate about making our holiday an experience to remember. The weather on Dec 31 resulted in a ‘Plan B’ for the New Year activities which included building additional rain covers and improvising on the evening program. Well done! First time rain on this day for a very long time – and fortunately for us all, the rain ended in the late afternoon. Starting the year 2024, the weather was fortunately much better.||The island is perfect for a relaxing holiday as a family but also as a couple as there is plenty of space for everyone. The Marine Centre offers various activities, including regular scuba diving trips to dive spots in the area (Thank you Yassif and Chris, and everyone on the boat. Thanks, Yassif for sharing the underwater videos with us). The connection to the sister island Dhawa Ihuru (< 5 minute transfer) allows to share their scube diving facilities and house reef, where a smaller ship wreck is located close to the island at roughly 20-30 meters depth. The house reef at Vabbinfaru is large with an overall distance of roughly 2 km around the island and is partially a bit distant from the beach, which was okay for us. At the house reef we saw turtles, black-tip and white-tip sharks, nurse sharks, sting rays and plenty of colorful fish.||Food was delicious (mixture between buffet and set menu) and the service team (among them Adam, Alman and Buddy) always made us feel welcome (greetings and thanks go to our morning host Prostanta for great omelettes, french toast, pancakes, etc. and our barbecue chef Rajesh for great (local) seafood and meat grill dishes). The new Japanese-style sunset bar and restaurant with infinity pool has been added very harmoniously to the island landscape in autumn of 2023 avoiding the doubtful style of the water bungalows seen on many other islands. And apart from the main restaurant there is also the Naiboli Bar, where Don and the team support with delicious drinks, we recommend the mango lassi. Thanks, Nazim for the pool billiard session with our younger son, he really enjoyed it and learned some good tricks from you. Part of our family also had the chance to enjoy the Spa offerings, which we can also clearly recommend (thank you, Catren).||The villas are all situated very well, both Beachfront as well as Oceanview villas have direct access to beach and sea, the catalog pictures represent what we have experienced. Khaleel and Ali both took detailed care of us and our villas making them fresh, clean and beautiful twice a day. We appreciate that their activities were well-timed with our changing daily schedules.||We felt very valued as guests when we were welcomed by the island team after a 25 min boat transfer from the airport (check-in is a breeze) and escorted to the jetty for our departure by the General Manager Hery as well as Nazim, Chris and others of the Vabbinfaru island team.||Overall, a great holiday to remember after returning to a cold and grey winter in Europe. We hope to return to Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru in the future. Thank you!|

Meraviglioso piccolo resort a 25 min di barca veloce da Male’. Nonostante l’ isola sia davvero piccola non manca nulla. Cibo buonissimo, personale gentilissimo e sempre disponibile, a partire dal manager Hary o Hery e lo chef che curava sempre la griglia (signore alto purtroppo non ricordo il nome). Siamo stati durante una settimana di pioggia e vento molto forti e quindi abbiamo goduto pochissimo del nuovo pontile con piscina a sfioro meravigliosa.. ma abbiamo usato tanto la piscina in camera, soprattutto nostro figlio di 10 anni. Festa di Natale perfetta, non troppo caotica, ma coinvolgente! |Torneremo sicuramente!|Grazie di tutto!!!|Francesca Daniele e Leonardo

|Wir haben zwei traumhafte Wochen im Banyan Tree verbracht. Eine wunderschöne und sehr kleine alte Insel mit nur 48 Villen. Diese Insel ist eine der wenigen, die es schafft das ursprüngliche Malediven Feeling zu erhalten. Und das auf einem top Niveau. Sie ist komplett barfuß zu umrunden und liebevoll gepflegt. |Die Bungalows sind in die Jahre gekommen, aber sehr gut gepflegt und renoviert. Der Pool mit zusätzlichem kleinen Whirlpool im Innenbereich bietet viel Privatsphäre. Danke an dieser Stelle an Ali und Rasheed, die sich täglich um alles gekümmert haben. |Das Hausriff hat mehrere Zugänge, die relativ leicht erreichbar sind. Es ist zum schnorcheln durchschnittlich. Aber ein großer Vorteil ist der mehrfach tägliche Shuttle zur Schwesterinsel Ihuru. Das Hausriff dort ist wirklich gut und sehr zu empfehlen. |Das renovierte kleine Sportstudio mit hochwertiger Ausstattung bietet die Möglichkeit, die bösen Kalorien des hervorragenden Dessert Buffets abzuarbeiten. |Im Restaurant wurden wir schon am Morgen mit einem Lächeln begrüßt. Ein besonderer Dank geht an Nafiz, der uns mit seiner freundlichen und ruhigen Art umsorgt hat. |Deepak am Obststand hat schon unseren Früchteteller vorbereitet und mit einem breiten Lächeln überreicht. Der Barista erfüllt den morgendlichen Kaffeewunsch. Ob French Press, Americano, Cappuccino oder Iced Coffee.... alles ist möglich. Es war|einfach nur perfekt.|Ein großes Dankeschön an die Köche Jimmy und Rajesh... ihr seid super. Und natürlich an Latheef, der sich immer nach unserem Wohlbefinden erkundigt hat und die Belange der Gäste im Restaurant sehr ernst nimmt. Stilles lokales Wasser wird zu den Mahlzeiten umweltfreundlich in wiederverwendbaren Glasflaschen kostenlos gereicht. |Der Front Office Manager Riyaz gab uns die Möglichkeit den aktuellen Umbau des Hauptrestaurants zu besichtigen. Spätestens zu Weihnachten 2023 ist alles fertig. Wir sind überzeugt davon, daß dies ein weiteres Upgrade für die Insel ist. Genau wie das Madi Hiyaa. Das neue japanische Restaurant mit Sunset Bar und Infinity Pool fügt sich architektonisch perfekt in die Insel ein. Jeden Freitag findet hier der abendliche Cocktail Empfang statt. Mit maledivischer Musik und Tanz. Dieser Empfang bietet eine weitere gute Gelegenheit sich kennenzulernen. Der General Manager Hery und sein Leitungsteam gesellen sich zu den Gästen und stehen für Fragen und Anregungen bereit.|Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und werden garantiert wieder kommen.|Wer eine ruhige ursprüngliche Insel sucht, mit hervorragenden Essen und einer echten Herzlichkeit, der ist hier genau richtig. |Danke an alle hier, die uns einen traumhaften Urlaub ermöglicht haben. Und ein besonderes großes Dankeschön an Riyaz und an Abullah Simaad. Immer ein offenes Ohr und Zeit, um Gespräche mit den Gästen zu führen. |

Отель оказался очень даже неплохим по соотношению цена/качество ( были раньше на Мальдивах в 3 разных отелях, поэтому есть с чем сравнить). Что понравилось:|1) Расположение. Доступность на катере. Мы прилетели во время дождя на Мале и все туристы, которым добираться до отелей на маленьких самолетах, остались ждать улучшения погодных условий. Нас же сразу после длинного перелета забрали на лодке в отель и более того, в отеле нас сразу заселили , так как были свободные номера ( прилетели мы в 10 утра). В итоге мы смогли сразу отдохнуть после длинного перелета , не дожидаясь времени чекина, за что большое спасибо сотрудникам отеля. Назад тоже очень удобно: катер за 3 часа до вылета забирал с острова (когда мы отдыхали в других отелях нас иногда забирали за 5 часов до вылета, что неудобно при утреннем вылете Аэрофлота)|2) Хороший риф. Риф находится на отдалении от берега, что позволяет и поплавать без маски у берега, и с маской по большому кругу вокруг острова. Риф хороший: за одно плавание видели сразу 5 черепах. Огромные стаи рыб летучих мышей прямо около пирса.|3) Есть возможность бесплатно в течение дня кататься на соседний остров, где тоже есть риф и можно поплавать с маской ( катер каждые два часа ездит туда назад)|4) Виллы просторные с внутренним двориком с бассейном. Очень уединенные и уютные. Также понравилась косметика в номере (шампунь, кондиционер…), даже купили сувенирном магазине аналогичные средства домой.|5) Приятный персонал. И уборка была регулярно на высшем уровне (никогда не забывали и шампунь подлить, и полотенца положить чистые и так далее), и в ресторане тоже очень вежливый персонал. Также есть приятная русскоговорящая девушка из Казахстана на ресепшн.||Из минусов: хотелось немного больше разнообразия еды в ресторане ( в первую очередь на завтраке). Ресторан всего один на острове со шведским столом , но нам рассказали, что в ближайшее время откроется второй ресторан по меню.

The privacy of the room is very good, and the villa swimming pool has a door (lockable). The pool villas of Paradise Island and Paradise Coral Island that I have stayed in were designed with the swimming pools facing the sea, and then surrounded by plants to maintain privacy, but after all The plants cannot stop people from walking in by mistake, so the privacy is the best at Banyan Tree! But the swimming pool is too small, and it is almost useless for swimming (the bathtub is good, and you can soak in hot water at 37.5 degrees, which is very comfortable.) But the overall facilities of the hotel are a bit old. Because the island is small, there are only 48 villas, so the buffet food variety It’s too little, not in line with the positioning of a six-star island, and feels quite shabby, especially with the price of $70. Bird of Paradise’s $50 buffet dinner is much better than it. Compared with before November 3rd (the day when the pool bar opened and guests were treated to free Japanese skewers and cocktails🍹, which was more pleasant.), the island has finally been upgraded with an infinity public swimming pool. This facility is very good, beautiful and practical ( However, because it has just been used, there are design flaws. The anti-skid function of the swimming pool is not good, so it is easy for people to slip and fall. I fell twice. Although it was not serious, it still hurt when I fell, which affected the vacation experience. , I hope it can be rectified so that subsequent tourists will not be accidentally injured), but the most dissatisfying thing is that the hotel treats guests who request to extend the room differently. We booked on Ctrip.com for $150 to extend the check-out time due to room status, but Two Chinese people in another room booked through the hotel's official website and were given a free extension to check out at 18:00. This made me very dissatisfied. There were obviously available rooms that were not available to guests (I asked to extend the stay until 14:00 and wanted to have lunch on the island before leaving, but was rejected). This makes me quite disappointed with the hotel's service spirit! ! The Paradise Island where I stayed during the National Day was very friendly. They would extend your check-out to the latest time for free according to your flight (they will inform you whether to stay in the same place or change rooms to rest depending on the room availability. I was arranged to stay in the water for free at that time. Thank you very much for extending check-out until 20:00!)

객실의 프라이버시가 매우 좋고, 빌라 수영장에 문이 있습니다(잠금 가능).제가 묵어본 파라다이스 아일랜드와 파라다이스 코랄 아일랜드의 풀 빌라는 수영장이 바다를 바라보도록 설계되었으며, 그 주변은 바다로 둘러싸여 있습니다. 식물은 프라이버시를 지켜주지만, 결국 식물은 사람들이 실수로 들어오는 것을 막을 수 없기 때문에 반얀트리에서는 프라이버시가 최고입니다! 다만 수영장이 너무 작아서 수영하기에는 거의 쓸모가 없습니다.(욕조도 좋고, 37.5도의 뜨거운 물에 담글 수 있어서 매우 편안합니다.) 다만 호텔의 전반적인 시설은 조금 낡았습니다. 섬이 작아서 빌라가 48개밖에 없어서 뷔페 음식 종류도 너무 적고, 6성급 섬의 위치에 맞지도 않고, 특히 70달러라는 가격에 비해 상당히 초라한 느낌이 듭니다.버드오브파라다이스의 50달러 뷔페 저녁 식사는 그것보다 훨씬 낫습니다. 11월 3일 이전(풀바가 오픈하고 손님들이 무료로 일식꼬치와 칵테일🍹을 대접받았던 날)에 비하면 섬은 드디어 인피니티 공공수영장으로 업그레이드 되었어요 시설이 너무 좋아요 , 아름답고 실용적입니다 ( 단, 막 사용한거라 디자인 하자가 있습니다. 수영장 미끄럼방지 기능이 좋지 않아 사람이 미끄러져 넘어지기 쉽습니다. 두번 넘어졌습니다. 비록 심각하지는 않은데 넘어지면 여전히 아파서 휴가 경험에 영향을 미쳤습니다. , 다음 관광객이 실수로 부상을 입지 않도록 시정할 수 있기를 바랍니다.) 하지만 가장 불만스러운 점은 호텔에서 연장을 요청한 손님을 처리한다는 것입니다. 저희는 객실 상황에 따라 체크아웃 시간을 연장하기 위해 씨트립닷컴에서 150달러에 예약했는데, 다른 방 중국인 2명이 호텔 공식 홈페이지를 통해 예약하고 18시 체크아웃까지 무료 연장을 받았습니다. 이로 인해 매우 불만족스러웠습니다. 분명히 손님이 이용할 수 없는 객실이 있었습니다.(14:00까지 숙박을 연장해달라고 요청했고 떠나기 전에 섬에서 점심을 먹고 싶었지만 거절당했습니다.) 이것이 상당히 실망스럽습니다. 호텔의 서비스 정신! ! 국경절에 머물렀던 파라다이스 아일랜드는 매우 친절했습니다. 항공편에 따라 체크아웃을 가장 늦은 시간까지 무료로 연장해 주었습니다. 객실 상황이..그때 무료로 물속에 머물 수 있도록 배정되어 있었습니다.체크아웃을 20시까지 연장해주셔서 정말 감사드립니다!)

We had a fantastic time during our time here. Special mentions to Hossam and Katie for being so wonderful and helpful throughout our stay. Service was wonderful and available at any time we needed it. The hotel itself is fantastic- lovely views, clean and complete facility. Our room had a pool and jacuzzi which was nice to relax in at night. The bed was comfortable and it had 2 showers also. The activities being offered in the facility is also really good- unfortunately we couldn't do parasailing due to the winds but we snorkeled instead. Overall, nothing bad to say. We both had a lovely time and will definitely come back again. Til next time!

This was just a special experience - beginning to end. Arrival at the airport was super efficient and we were in our room in less than 1.5 hrs from landing on an international flight. Throughout the 10 days we were there the staff were just superb in every respect and it was great that while they were clearly trained to be very professional, they were also encouraged to allow their own individual personalities to shine through. That makes a big difference. It would be difficult to highlight any individual as they were all great without exception. This is a traditional and natural island with a very relaxed atmosphere. We didn't wear shoes for our whole stay! There is however one member of staff who needs to be specially recognised. Chris - from the watersports/dive centre team and who was dive buddy to my wife. Unfortunately my wife has MS and while she is an experienced diver now requires extra help to get in and out of the water and was nervous about being enabled to dive. Chris and the watersports team therefore helped her down the beach and into the water and Chris then helped to get on her kit before they dived. They had a fantastic dive every day, the house reef was great and she came out with a great big smile - always something new for Chris to find with her. And when they surfaced, Chris and also the watersports team collected her gear and assisted her back up the beach - including a shower and a warm towel. Very special and way above what was expected. At the end of 10 days my wife's comment to Chris was " you have given me the best medicine I could have wished for". That says it all.

Well where to start…… We came to the island for our honeymoon full of expectations and for not one second did it disappoint! The GM and staff made us feel like family and royalty at the same time and that is not easy to do. The island is small and very beautiful, the villas are lovely but could do with a little TLC but this is being very picky. Everyday the rooms were serviced and to an impeccable standard. In the room was everything you could need and our garden was perfect and straight onto the sea. On the first night we met so many lovely staff. The GM really leads from the front and all staff made us feel very special and nothing was too much trouble. I have seen a few reviews saying that food was nice but a bit repetitive, to be honest I agree! Eating giant prawns, fresh fish, lamb chops, local curries and much more everyday was repetitive but I struggled by 😂. However, our chef Biswarup asked everyday if we wanted to have anything else and arranged a curry night (best butter chicken and biriani ever)! And a steak night that was quite possibly the best steak I have had. All the servers were very attentive and Adam made a huge effort everyday to make it special. I can not fault the service for a second. We took a spa sanctuary villa with massages everyday. Most days we had Miley and Melisa and they are two of the sweetest people ever and brilliant at what they do. One day the GM Kan and dive instructor Tholal had a dive with us one day it was amazing!! So stunning and we knew we were in safe hands. So to conclude. This is everything you would hope it to be, beautiful, very 5 star, great food, great staff and a place to create memories. The final wave goodbye when many of the staff waved us away from the jetty was a hard one and we hope to see you all again one day. Thank you from my wife and I for the best honeymoon EVER!!!

A cozy island just 25 minutes away from the airport. Excellent service, cozy beachfront bungalows, and a restaurant offering a variety of options, all delicious.

We would like to express our great appreciation to the world class professional services provided by staff members at Banyan tree Maldives. We are lucky specially to meet below staff members who had demonstrated can-do attitude and went extra miles to uphold customer satisfaction. Hery, general mgr, his style of management by walking around did help to collect genuine customer feedback and his efficiency and effectiveness could really address many customer concerns promptly and enlightened the entire customer experience ! Riyaz, front desk mgr, who did extra steps to understand our needs and provided alternatives to resolve! Appreciated! Jien, front desk staff, who communicated our concerns and needs professionally & efficiently, and finally delivered at her best with her friendly smiles which cheered us up! Yemen, marine Ctr staff, who actively collected info, monitored weather for a trip that’s not available on regular basis. Despite the weather wouldn’t allow this trip to come true finally, his professional advice, active follow up and suggestions was highly helpful! Chris, marine centre staff, who was willing to share what he knew on top of the trip’s requirements. Spa was excellent, too! All these exceptional experience made Banyan Tree a good reputation in our mind and we will come back and visit other resorts of the same group!

This is a wonderful hotel on a lovely island. What really makes this hotel special are the staff and great attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble. The snorkelling is spectacular and really good to be able to visit the sister resort to snorkel there too. The food is great and the new Madi Hiyaa Japanese restaurant is a work of art. Our favourite meals were on the sand with Rajesh cooking on the grill. Rajesh is a star! There are too many great staff to mention but a shout out to Don in the bar, Adam, Alesa and Lynn in the restaurant and Fairooz who ensured that our room was always immaculate. I would recommend this resort to anyone who wants five star simplicity.

This place is great. I went here with my parents for a holiday. I highly recommend going snorkeling, eating at the Japanese restaurant and making more friends. When we go snorkeling our guide Thotte is very nice. He even guided us to see sharks! and Chris, Yaamin,Mannu and Hood are also very friendly too! I really like the food here from the main restaurant. Rajesh,Prosanta and Lynn, they are very kind. We always chat with me. And in the Japanese restaurant Leo makes great food. All the receptionists are in great warm hospitality, extremely nice and friendly. They often talk to me and make everything very neat. Jien and Anne always prepare the arrival’s drink and help guests.Habeeb and Houssam work very hard.Hery is very nice too.Shelfwood and Nazim helps pick up luggages from arrival and departing. They also use leaves to make birds and fishes for me.Riyaz is very nice too,he often chat with me! This trip was great. I want to say thank you to these great friends and see you next time! I highly recommend children come here, since this is an amazing kids friendly island.💕❤️😁总之在这家悦榕庄酒店,我们全家都感到非常的舒适,这里的员工非常的热情,他们时刻都关注着游客的需求。而且他们对于小朋友特别的友好,非常的有耐心。

Conoscevo la catena Banyan Tree, gruppo orientale noto per i suoi meravigliosi resort diffusi specie in Asia, sinonimo di lusso non fine a se stesso ma orientato al profondo benessere degli ospiti. Nelle isole maldiviane c’è un solo resort Banyan Tree anche se proprio di fronte l’isola di IHURU, emblema del perfetto e piccolo atollo maldiviano adesso fa parte della stesso gruppo alberghiero ma con differente nome, Dhawa resort. Ebbene, Banyan Tree, facilmente accessibile da Male, mantiene le promesse di un resort di alto livello, con una atmosfera comunque molto rilassata e rilassante. L’isola non è grande, è circondata da una bella barriera nel complesso abbastanza vicina alla spiaggia, questa in alcune aree davvero incantevole con scintillante contrasto di una sabbia bianchissima che si tuffa nel mare multicolore. Sulla circonferenza dell’isola sorgono in particolare 2 tipologie di camere, le beach villas, affacciate direttamente sulla spiaggia e le Ocean View Villa identiche alle prime ma che si trovano leggermente all’interno pur mantenendo la vista sul mare. Tutte le ville sono molto grandi, risentono un po’ dell’usura del tempo (la struttura è un po’ datata) ma sono eleganti, funzionali e tutte caratterizzate da un’ampia area sul retro con docce e bagno open air, una piccola piscina privata ed una vasca idromassaggio. C’è una notevole sensazione di elevato comfort e di spazio anche perché il numero delle ville non supera le 50 unità in tutta l’isola e, a differenza di molte altre isole, non esistono schiere di water villas. La struttura è caratterizzata da 2 ristoranti, di cui uno piuttosto spettacolare all’estremità opposta dell’isola, che propone cucina giapponese a la carte e quello principale con tavoli molto distanziati sulla sabbia ove si alterna l’offerta di buffet e menu guidati. Esiste poi un bar molto tranquillo in cui è possibile consumare pranzi e cene, di sera allietati da un discretissimo intrattenimento musicale. Di fronte al ristorante giapponese sorgono due piscine di acqua salata letteralmente a picco sul mare. Esiste poi una palestra, un centro diving, una SPA ed un piccolo e raffinato negozio. Insomma, si tratta di una struttura volutamente molto semplice, con un livello di servizio di ottimo livello, che sa rispondere con flessibilità ed attenzione alle esigenze della clientela. Il resort dispone di un numero adeguato di barche di eccellente livello, molto comode e sicure, sia nell’efficientissimo pickup di fronte all’aeroporto di Male (che in 25 minuti ti trasporta in questo paradiso) sia nelle numerose escursioni organizzate. Insomma l’esperienza Banyan Tree è di prim’ordine. Alcune piccole aree di miglioramento, peraltro segnalate al management della struttura, attentissimo a recepire feedback, sono in generale nell’area ristorazione, in particolare per chi non opta per la formula all inclusive ma preferisce optare di volta in volta per menu a la carte. La colazione è sempre inclusa, è di buon livello a livello qualitativo, ma mi sarei aspettato una maggiore varietà di scelta, soprattutto per quanto attiene alla frutta. I menu’ a la carte sono inevitabilmente molto costosi e forse potrebbero essere maggiormente curati, sia in termini di varietà che di qualità intrinseca. Comunque sia credp che alle Maldive ci si nutra soprattutto dell’incantevole atmosfere dal contesto, delle meraviglie del mare e del sempre fondamentale livello di servizio complessivo che al Banyan Tree mantiene sempre uno standard di eccellenza. Considerato in particolare l’agio di non richiedere le talvolta “faticose” attese e perdite di tempo date dai trasporti in idrovolante, Banyan Tree resta un'ottima scelta volendo respirare l’aria di un resort maldiviano di livello superiore allo standard con un buon valore per quello che si spende.

We have visited the Maldives 3 times now, and I can safely say that our stay at Banyan Tree was by far the best we have experienced! We had come with our three little kids, and the hospitality and the treatment received was the sweetest from the moment we had stepped off the speedboat. A special mention to Lynn, who always greeted us with a lovely smile and such grace during meal times. She is very attentive and thoughtful and was a pleasure to get to know during our stay. An absolute gem. Prosanta - My little boy dreams of your pancakes that he would devour every morning, and he always tells me that I do not make it like the chef in the Maldives! Prosanta would always make breakfast entertaining with Turtle Shaped pancakes for my 3 year old and a Dolphin Shaped one for my 8 month old baby. Rajesh - Certainly a culinary master, and my children’s best friend! He would go above and beyond and we certainly miss you a lot! Care, love and generosity exudes from him. He is also why our stay has been a memorable one. He is an asset to the Banyan Tree.(Zahiyan, Liyana and Zakariya do mention and remember you too. Pray you are all doing well and in the best of health).

Le ville sono da sogno, soprattutto la Grand Villa: spaziosa, super confortevole, la zona bagno in and out è superlativa. Design che si fonde perfettamente con la natura circostante. Personale sempre disponibile, gentilissimo e sorridente. provato il nuovo giapponese, ottimo per un pranzo e per l'aperitivo serale al tramonto. Visitato anche la sister property dove è ottimo lo snorkeling.

Wir wollten in diesem Jahr 2 Inseln besuchen und waren zum Abschluss noch für 5 Tage auf Banyan tree…wir waren bereits 2019 da und haben dies zum Anlass genommen, die Insel ein zweites Mal zu besuchen, wobei wir feststellen mussten, dass der Wohlfühlfaktor und das Maledivenfeeling doch etwas nachgelassen hat. Die Nähe zum Male ist deutlich zu spüren, man hörte tagsüber einige Wasserflugzeuge über die Insel fliegen, nicht nur am Abend ist die Skyline von Male deutlich zu sehen. Im Restaurant war die Auswahl der Speisen im Gegensatz zu der Insel, wo wir vorweg waren, deutlich spärlicher….was uns sehr sehr gefehlt hatte, im Gegensatz zu 2019 war der * Lunch am Beach und die Eisstation gleich daneben. Lunch und Dinner am Beach gibt es nur noch recht selten, die Frage: Warum? Tische stehen zur Genüge da…leider nicht eingedeckt. Außerdem schien mir auch der Service im Restaurant, bis auf wenige Ausnahmen etwas Touristenmüde zu sein…Lynn hat sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben, doch vermissten wir im Gegensatz zur davor besuchten Insel, die Struktur im Service. Die Tische scheinen nicht den einzelnen Servicekräften zugeteilt zu sein, so kam es vor, dass mein Kaffee erst „zwei Runden drehte“, bevor er meinen Tisch erreichte. Sauberkeit top, Zimmer ok, Massage (Wellnessbereich) top, die neue Bar mit infinity-Pool nice, leider zu unserer Zeit im Januar 2024 sehr windig, von daher war ein Aufenthalt dort kaum möglich und dementsprechend wenig, bis keine Gäste dort anzutreffen. Live Grill unser high-light…alles andere eher durchschnittlich….wurde ihrem 5 * Sterne Anspruch in diesem Jahr leider nicht gerecht…

Une île merveilleuse où la discrétion est de bon ton. Le personnel est d'un grand professionalisme. Un accueil chaleureux, toujours souriant et aux petits soins pour vous. Les massages au Spa sont fabuleux et bien menés. Une équipe à votre écoute et toujours là pour vous faire plaisir. La nourriture est assez raffinée et en petite quantité c'est parfait pour éviter le gaspillage. Si vous souhaitez il suffit de demander (toujours avec politesse c'est mieux), l'équipe est très réactive. Quant à la chambre rien à dire toujours propre et bien préparée pour la nuit. Vue sur le lagon et direct pour se baigner. Les maisonnettes sont intimistes, c'est très agréable. Le bar est sympa, il y a du choix et toujours pareil le service est bien présent. Concernant le bar/restaurant japonais Madi Hyaa l'ambiance y est relax, les hamacs au dessus de l'eau c'est top pour regarder le couche du soleil. Snorkelling tout à fait pratiquable. Avec de la chance on voir la black Manta, des requins et totures et bien sûre des poissons de toutes variétés. Vraiment un très beau complexe hôtelier. Un sans faute pour nous. Nous avons aimé cette parenthèse enchantée loin du tumulte Parisien, un dépaysement total. Possibilité de pouvoir aller sur l'île voisine qui est sa petite sœur. Cela permet de voir notre magnifique île et de rencontrer d'autres personnes. Dont la sympathique Hannah au bar 😉 On tiens personnellement à remercier du fond de notre cœur toutes ces belles personnes bienveillantes, souriantes et calmes. Pensées particulières pour Houssam notre fantastique guide/ réceptionniste qui est le seul à parler Français👏 cela nous a bien aidé au démarrage. Lynn notre adorable meneuse des repas et toute l'équipe et au cuisinier Rajesh, roi de la grillage😃 C'est le cœur lourd mais rempli de très beaux souvenirs que l'on repars mais ainsi est faite la vie. Nous sommes déjà tellement chanceux 🙌🏼 Karine et Rodrigue Villa 18

Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour de 7 nuits dans cet hôtel sans aucune fausse note. Le cadre est splendide et le personnel d'une incroyable gentillesse. Nous avions une chambre en front de mer côté coucher de soleil (bien moins venteux que l'autre côté de l'ile), la vue était magique et bien que les bungalows soient assez rapprochés nous avions l'impression d'être seuls au monde. Nous avions opté pour la formule All incluse et n'avons pas regretté notre choix, la nourriture était excellente et variée, de plus le forfait incluait de bons vins et une large sélection de cocktails. Nous avons également apprécié de pouvoir profiter gratuitement d'un catamaran pendant notre séjour ainsi que de pouvoir faire du snorkeling sur le récif de l'ile en face. C'était un véritable aquarium et nous avons vu énormément de requins. Le spa vaut également la peine, le massage était vraiment excellent. Cet hôtel de taille humaine offre un service 5* chaleureux et sans prétention, on se sent comme à la maison.

We had a great time here. The island is beautiful, so is the house reef. It is our 6th time in Maldives so have some reference data:) The staff is very helpful and try to do their best to make sure you have an amazing experience. One thing we really liked is the fact there is a sister resort nearby that you can visit free of charge and you can enjoy all the benefits (e.g. the all inclusive package) On the minus side - I would say the food is not on par with other resorts we have visited.

Paradise on earth. We chose this venue to carry out our wedding ceremony and on the back of a trip around Asia including a wellness retreat in Koh Samui. We were not disappointed. This was a magical experience in every regard. The island and location is breath taking the quality of service and venue is incredible, people and environment are truly special. We arrived in darkness and woke up to pure paradise.From the moment we arrived we were made to feel special. Our wedding ceremony was beyond even our expectations. From the elegant ,authentic and meticulous preparation with the flower girls and drummers walking the bride down the beach to the surprises including the planting of a coconut the ceremony could not have been any more special. We have so many people to thank and each and every person on the island touched our hearts.Special thanks must however go to Riyaz our master of ceremony, Shau our wedding coordinator, Jien , our stand in bridesmaid and Hassan our room designer along with all of the chefs and restaurant staff XX thank you for making our dreams come true we will remember our time at the Banyan Tree forever x

A 20 minuti da Malè, considerato tra i migliori resort dell’Atollo Kaafu, ex isola pubblicità Muratti, il Banyan Tree fa del rispetto per la natura circostante il suo punto di forza: Niente muretti antierosione, niente watervilla, nessun utilizzo della plastica, insomma Vieni catapultato subito in una dimensione più naturalistica del vivere le Maldive che, già belle di per se, in questo modo, mostrano il loro lato più bello. Aggiungiamo a ciò una stanza che sembra una mini SPA con un bagno all’aperto mozzafiato completato da idromassaggio e piscina privata, due docce, essenze ed oli profumati cambiati giornalmente, sottofondo musicale soft, Khaleel che ti vizia portandoti tutti i giorni una carineria diversa, uno spazio privato fuori la stanza con lettini al sole, lettini all’ombra, amaca, tavolino e sedie e soprattutto una vista ed un mare mozzafiato a pochi metri che ti entrano nella stanza grazie ad enormi portefinestre. Due ristoranti: uno principale ed uno nuovo bellissimo a forma di manta che offre solo cucina giapponese, entrambi di livello molto alto a prova di mia moglie molto selettiva sul cibo, alternano una cucina molto varia e un susseguirsi di serate barbecue, a tema, alla carte e a buffet. L’isola ha la tipica forma tonda ed é circondata da una bellissima spiaggia bianca borotalco ed un mare balneabile per tutta la sua circonferenza (un po’ più bella e balneabile la zona sottovento lato tramonto), inoltre é circondata da un bellissimo reef facilmente raggiungibile e pieno di pesci (mai visti così tanti squaletti pinna nera). Simpatica l’idea di poter visitare e pranzare anche sull’ isola vicina, pur se di livello più basso, ma ottima alternativa per praticare uno snorkeling diverso. Quinta volte alle Maldive, non deludono mai, ma soprattutto il Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru viene promosso a pieni voti!

We booked this hotel as it had a great last minute offer over Christmas & new year. When we landed we were greeted well & the boat ride was seamless. We had booked the express check in but we felt like many things were not explained properly, we asked about where to eat for lunch but no mention was made of the beach bar which caused confusion. The room was old and dated ( I’m sure the staff also would love a renovation ) many of the plugs didn’t work in the room and it felt really tired. The bathroom / storage and wardrobe was all outdoors which was a challenge as in the heat our clothes were getting damp from the humidity and it was too hot to do make up outside, no mirror in the main room. The villas/rooms are very very close together which we didn’t realize when we booked this resort, I could see into my neighbors gardens & hold hands on the sun-bed on the beach, it was that close! Lots of screaming children at night as the rooms are paper thin. The food was good , we went for the half board, lunch was expensive and the drinks but we expected that. Staff were ok but we felt that the management could do more to really get them to be more proactive, offering drinks quicker & less chit chat for example. We decided to plan a trip to swim with sharks, we had it cancelled a few times due to weather but once we finally went - the boat broke down in the middle of the ocean, the water hose exploded and we were stranded. The team called for help and a small rescue boat came to us and took us back. We missed the trip as we ran out of time. What surprised us is that nobody at the hotel checked to see if we were ok. Nobody asked or apologized. The marine team are really lovely people and were helpful but the management should of been made aware as this was quite serious.

Dopo aver letto milioni di recensioni io e il mio compagno abbiamo scelto la struttura di Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru per una vacanza sicuramente dedicata a mare e relax dopo 8 giorni di viaggio in Tailandia. Del Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru ci hanno convinti la sua vicinanza a Male, il numero ridotto di camere, la non presenza dei water bungalows, la presenza di una sister island che ci consentisse di poter visitare due reef, la presenza di un programma di Yoga, le sue energie che si percepivano già dalle foto.. e dai commenti dei turisti che l'avevano già vissuta. Abbiamo trovato molto molto di più e siamo rientrati con occhi e cuori colmi ed entusiasti delle bellissime esperienze fatte su questa Isola, affascinati dal suo concept, dai suoi valori, della sua natura, del suo mare, del reef, dallo staff, dalla la sua ospitalità, dalla sua cura per gli ospiti, dalla privacy, dall'easiness, dall'eccellenza in tutto ciò che ci é stato proposto. Sicuramente per come siamo fatti e per ciò che cercavamo Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru ha rappresentato per noi un perfect matching. I protagonisti numero 1 delle nostre giornate sono stati sicuramente il mare, i suoi colori, il reef, la natura incontaminata e curatissima sull'isola, lo staff che ha sempre lavorato per fornirci un servizio eccellente.... Avevamo già contattato Ibrahim del servizio di prenotazioni per chiedere, se possibile, la assegnazione di una camera sul lato tramonto.... e così é stato. La camera 19, Gonu. Sono già stata diverse volte alle Maldive e adoro poter osservare i colori dei tramonti leggendo un libro o facendo l'ultimo bagno....e così é stato. Avevo già contattato la Spa per prenotare le lezioni di Yoga che amo fare ogni mattina. Il Dott. Sharma é stato un eccellente maestro che, ogni giorno, ha ascoltato e compreso ogni richiesta e necessità costruendo in maniera personalizzata e taylor made ogni lezione. La sala di Yoga é un vero sogno. Ho utilizzato anche la Palestra per le prime 6 mattine, prima della lezione di Yoga, e mi sono trovata benissimo. Tutti i macchinari sono di ultimissima generazione, performanti e sicuramente molto facili da utilizzare. Complimenti per le scelte della location, dello spazio, della vista sul mare... Abbiamo acquistato un pacchetto che prevedeva colazione pranzo e cena... ed abbiamo sempre apprezzato ogni proposta di menu con diverse opzioni e/o di buffet. La qualità della frutta, dei prodotti é sempre stata eccellente. La presenza costante del barbecue dove il cuoco preparava sul momento carne pesce e verdure... é stato uno dei nostri preferiti. Mangiare quindi per noi eccellente. Ed infine lo staff, preparatissimo, molto professionale, mai invadente che ha cercato di assecondare ogni nostro desiderio. La camera meravigliosa.... pulitissima, direttamente sul mare, con terrazzino e con una spettacolare area di lettura .... quasi sull'acqua ci ha fatti innamorare ulteriormente di questa Isola . Prima di partire ci siamo complimentati con tutti per l'esperienza che ci hanno consentito di vivere, per il loro impegno e per il loro effort di rendere ogni nostro desiderio possibile. Husham, Lynn.... e tutti i camerieri.... così come lo staff direttivo dell'Isola complimenti, non vediamo l'ora di organizzare una nostr prox visita alla Isola da Sogno di Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru. A presto ed ancora grazie!! Monica & Franco

We spent 10 days after Christmas and over the New Year on Vabbinfaru Island (2x Beachfront Villa looking to the East) and have very much enjoyed our stay. Despite bad weather with strong winds and heavy rain in the first days, the Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru Team has always kept spirits high and was passionate about making our holiday an experience to remember. The weather on Dec 31 resulted in a ‘Plan B’ for the New Year activities which included building additional rain covers and improvising on the evening program. Well done! First time rain on this day for a very long time – and fortunately for us all, the rain ended in the late afternoon. Starting the year 2024, the weather was fortunately much better. The island is perfect for a relaxing holiday as a family but also as a couple as there is plenty of space for everyone. The Marine Centre offers various activities, including regular scuba diving trips to dive spots in the area (Thank you Yassif and Chris, and everyone on the boat. Thanks, Yassif for sharing the underwater videos with us). The connection to the sister island Dhawa Ihuru (< 5 minute transfer) allows to share their scube diving facilities and house reef, where a smaller ship wreck is located close to the island at roughly 20-30 meters depth. The house reef at Vabbinfaru is large with an overall distance of roughly 2 km around the island and is partially a bit distant from the beach, which was okay for us. At the house reef we saw turtles, black-tip and white-tip sharks, nurse sharks, sting rays and plenty of colorful fish. Food was delicious (mixture between buffet and set menu) and the service team (among them Adam, Alman and Buddy) always made us feel welcome (greetings and thanks go to our morning host Prostanta for great omelettes, french toast, pancakes, etc. and our barbecue chef Rajesh for great (local) seafood and meat grill dishes). The new Japanese-style sunset bar and restaurant with infinity pool has been added very harmoniously to the island landscape in autumn of 2023 avoiding the doubtful style of the water bungalows seen on many other islands. And apart from the main restaurant there is also the Naiboli Bar, where Don and the team support with delicious drinks, we recommend the mango lassi. Thanks, Nazim for the pool billiard session with our younger son, he really enjoyed it and learned some good tricks from you. Part of our family also had the chance to enjoy the Spa offerings, which we can also clearly recommend (thank you, Catren). The villas are all situated very well, both Beachfront as well as Oceanview villas have direct access to beach and sea, the catalog pictures represent what we have experienced. Khaleel and Ali both took detailed care of us and our villas making them fresh, clean and beautiful twice a day. We appreciate that their activities were well-timed with our changing daily schedules. We felt very valued as guests when we were welcomed by the island team after a 25 min boat transfer from the airport (check-in is a breeze) and escorted to the jetty for our departure by the General Manager Hery as well as Nazim, Chris and others of the Vabbinfaru island team. Overall, a great holiday to remember after returning to a cold and grey winter in Europe. We hope to return to Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru in the future. Thank you!

Meraviglioso piccolo resort a 25 min di barca veloce da Male’. Nonostante l’ isola sia davvero piccola non manca nulla. Cibo buonissimo, personale gentilissimo e sempre disponibile, a partire dal manager Hary o Hery e lo chef che curava sempre la griglia (signore alto purtroppo non ricordo il nome). Siamo stati durante una settimana di pioggia e vento molto forti e quindi abbiamo goduto pochissimo del nuovo pontile con piscina a sfioro meravigliosa.. ma abbiamo usato tanto la piscina in camera, soprattutto nostro figlio di 10 anni. Festa di Natale perfetta, non troppo caotica, ma coinvolgente! Torneremo sicuramente! Grazie di tutto!!! Francesca Daniele e Leonardo

Our family trip to the Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru was one to remember. Our sea boat transfer from Male to the island took about 25 minutes. On arrival at the wooden pier we were welcomed by various staff of the hotel and our cases were whisked away. At the end of the pier is a stone with Banyan Tree engraved on it which the staff took pictures of us all. We were each taken to our accommodation which I can only describe as wooden pods/villas. There are 48 on the island each strategically placed to allow for sea views. Each accommodation had its own outdoor pool and hot tub. There was an indoor shower and outdoor shower, four poster bed, mini bar, beautiful deck area, hammock and a gazebo type structure, together with direct access to the beach. Our home for the stay was cleaned each day by Ramesh who was amazing. The eating areas and bar areas were awesome. We spent a lot of time at the Stingray bar (as we called it). Direct access to the beach/sea and also a swimming pool. The main restaurant was perfect with buffet nights and set menu nights. The food was out of this world with everything you could think of. Seafood, meats, vegetarian options, salads etc etc the list goes on. Breakfast and lunch was also outstanding. The chef who did the barbecuing certainly knew his stuff and produced amazingly cooked foods. We spent New Years Eve at the Banyan Tree and from start to finish (apart from the weather) was a great night. We were given a private room to have our gala dinner as they needed to bring in the tables from outside due to heavy rainfall. The room we had was set up beautifully and we had Buddy as our very own waiter. He looked after us impeccably and made us laugh so much with his Cockney slang (luvvly jubbly) We had such a memorable few days at the Banyan Tree. Eerie the Manager who is outstanding at what he does was attentive to us every day, particularly when my dad fell over. He was always eager to know how our day had been and took real interest in us as a family. He is a credit to the Banyan Tree organisation. All the staff on the island were friendly, courteous, and always had a huge smile. Lynn in the main restaurant was one of my Mum's favourites I'm sure we will revisit this beautiful idyllic island again not only for the beauty of it but also the lovely people. On a final note and this is for Eerie the Manager, a definite no to the water bungalows and also keep the sand, no tiles on the floor. Thank you again Clare of the Bland Family

Like the title says, an amazing review. The island is small, but enough. The scenery is amazing. On top of that, the personnel makes the holiday even better. Starting with the chief Habeeb, and finishing with the grill master cook Rajesh. Not too expensive, not too cheap. It's our 3rd time coming here in one year and we fill like home. Strongly recommend it!

14 nights at Beach Front Villa (No. 10), sunset view, full-board, 15min speedboat transfer from male airport to the resort. We had high Expectations and the Resort full-filled it for the entire duration of our stay. It felt like a dream. The island, the landscape and sea colors, the kindness of all employees, the food, the dessert, just perfect! Thanks to Husham, a great guide through our Destination Dining Dinner. Azlif, our housekeeper did a good job. There’s nothing we can complain about (probably only that our fav wine „Tucana“ was out after a week :-). We had a great catamaran sunset tour, organized by Mohamed Riyaz, the Front Office Manger, he was all the time around, thank you for all the things you did for us. Our Villa (No. 10) had a straight view to Dhawa Ihuru (sister-island, 5 minutes with speedboat, free daily transfer every 2h) and the sunset. The beach was awesome, the teal sea colors overwhelming. Sadly no turtles or rays during our stay, but a lot of reefsharks. Hanna, from the reception, deserves to get mentioned as well, a wonderful contact for all guests. Overall it was a trip we will never forget! We left the resort with a feeling that everyone of the Banyan Tree Crew cared about us (Latheef knew our names instantly even we never talked before). It was by far the best vacation experience we ever had in our life!

Immersed in festive cheer, scuba divers adorned in Santa hats explored vibrant coral reefs, stumbling upon an enchanting underwater Christmas tree. Surrounded by curious marine life, the joyous atmosphere and holiday-themed decor created a memorable and magical Christmas dive experience.

This was our third stay at BT Vabinfaru and it is getting better every time we return. The Island is one of the few remaining ’natural’, small luxury resorts in the Maldives, conveniently located a 25 mins boat ride from the airport. There are no ugly water Bungalows and the beach front villas are just perfectly located, offering a cosy Maldivian setup with plenty of privacy (at least on the Sunrise side) and a little private pool in the backyard.The new Restaurant on the North jetty features a breathtaking Stingray-shaped architecture and offers fantastic sunset views - ideal for pre-dinner cocktails. Food was outstanding as always (please keep the Chef!) despite the fact that there was no a la carte menu this time as the main Restaurant was in its final phase of refurbishment. The best thing about this place though is its wonderful staff with their outstanding service attitude, professionalism and friendliness, making you really feel at home away from home. Management can be really proud of the whole team! Particularly Adam, Khaleel, Gina & Catherine asa well as Habeeb made our stay a special one. There were a coule of minor issues which we didn't feel happy about, but Simaad (Hotel Manager) took the time to sit down with us and listen to our feedback. He swiftly acted on it and also explained the resorts plans for future restaurant experiences as well as the relocation of storage for the watersports equipment (mainly used by guests from the sister island Ihuru). We are very much looking forward to see the jet skis and banana boats gone during our next stay :-) All the above plus the fact that Vabbinfaru wants to preserve their original Maldivian flair while midly upgrading its infrastructure makes us come back again and give a definite 5 out of 5 rating!

First of all, our arrival from the airport to the resort was so smooth. Their representative were on standby at the airport to greet you. Without any delay, they brought u straight to the speedboat for transfer from airport to the resort. It took only 25mins speedboat ride to reach the resort. Upon arrival, we were welcomed and greeted by the resort staffs and its GM Mr Harry. It was a very warm welcomed by the resort team and without further due, they brought us to our villa. We are travelling in a big group of 14 pax. We booked 4 beachfront villas and request these villas to be next to each other (which the resort assist and cater to our request and needs). The view from our villa is magnificent (villa 43-46). The villas are near to the illaafathi restaurant and near to the jetty which is easier for us since there are kids and elderly. We enjoy snorkeling at the house reef where you can easily spot a black tip shark or white tip shark. At night, you can take a walk to the jetty and spot a lotttt of fishes from the jetty. We had our breakfast at naiboli and ilaafathi, the food are good (love the local tuna). Since we are not taking the half board or full board, most of the time we dined at the resort restaurant. Some of the nights we tried the buffet at ilaafathi restaurant and the food are just great! Mr Rajeesh the Chef is very pleasant, kind and very friendly with the kids. All of our kids love uncle Rajeesh. We also had our lunch at Madi Hiyaa restaurant which served japanese food. The view from madi hiyaa is spectacular especially during sunset. You can just lie down on the net and watch the sunset. You can swim at their infinity pool overlooking the ocean. We did quite a number of activities while we were in Maldives. The resort assist us to arrange private snorkeling with the family, dive session and highlight of the trip is snorkeling with the shark. Since we are a big family, the resort arranged for a catamaran boat to go for snorkeling and visit a sandbank. Henry a marine guide and a local resort staff (im sorry i cant remember his name) are kind enough to follow us and took videos with gopro while we are snorkeling. We were served with some refreshment and drinks while on the boat. Once we arrived at the resort, we attend the gala dinner where we enjoyed our delicious course dinner. Our 3rd day at the resort, we went for snorkeling with the sharks where we took a speedboat ride for 45mins to arrive at the sharks spot (it was a nurse sharks (huge!), black tip, white tip and if ure lucky, ull find turtles and sting rays). We were accompanied by Chris, Jell and Thotey which are the best team to assist us while we were in the water swimming with the sharks. Chris our guide (superb!) and gopro expert 🤣 (seriously she took a lot of good videos) managed to captures moment swimming with sharks! Its a lifetime experience. We feel safe with them and we thanked you for having our family on board ur boat. The resort is not so big and its not so small. If you around the island, u can make one round at 10 mins walk and its very convenient for us who have 6 kids altogether. The view for sunrise and sunset is just WOW. We just cant get enough of this resort. We were so sad when we were about to leave the resort. Most of the staffs that knew us bid us farewell at the jetty including the resort GM Mr Henry, the informative Mr Riyaaz and nazeem (we learnt about maldivian culture), the kind Mr Rajeesh (the chef). Not to mention our villa keeper Ali and Khalil who keeps the room clean at all times. A lot of things that we wish to state here but overall our trip is ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Much love from us from villa 43-46. Definitely will come again!!

Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru a very good preserved island with hight quality of service. Great bungalows in middle of tropical vegetation. subtle luxury in middlen of nature. Staff is very freindly. Food and Service in the restaurant is also very good. After 15 trips to Maldives, Vabbinfaru is the only island that I will come back... Vabbinfaru is also one of the few island without ranges of water bungalows...other reason to come back... Special thankyou for Mr Ahmed Habeeb (front Desk) and Mr Rajesh (Barbecue Chef)..you were great...! See you next year

This place doesn’t feel real! The location is absolutely stunning and feels like it’s something out of a movie. There is not one place of this location that’s isn’t picturesque. We are here during the holidays and they have done such a sweet job of decorating the island to give it a cheerful holiday spirit! The water is SO clear and safe! We have had the best time swimming and enjoying the warm ocean water, but the snorkeling is something we can’t get enough of. Thootte went above and beyond and took us snorkeling around the resort and we saw so many creatures. He was so sweet and knowledgeable and now every time he sees us, he says hello and gives us more snorkeling spots and tips! He is seriously the BEST! To be fair, the entire staff here is amazing and always check in with you to make sure you are happy and have everything you need. We found this place, as Accor members and couldn’t be happier. We are already talking about coming back! If you are looking for a charming, romantic, friendly, picture perfect spot in the Maldives-look no further!
