First, the positive: - The island is pure magic - white sand, crystal-clear waters, and lush vegetation, all complemented by the perfect blend of comfort and natural beauty. - Our room was not only spacious and comfortable but also well integrated into the island’s charm, with an open-air bathroom and an outdoor shower. - The location is ideal, especially for those with early flights, as it’s conveniently close to Malé. You can make the most of your stay right up until the last moment. - A standout feature is the new bar - an incredible spot to enjoy a drink while watching breathtaking sunsets. - The marine lab is another highlight, offering engaging activities like reef cleaning, which gives guests a deeper understanding of the environmental challenges facing the Maldives and a chance to contribute. - For snorkeling enthusiasts, the reef at the sister island, Ihuru, is spectacular. We encountered sharks, rays, turtles, clown fish and many more. - There are many activities on the resort, and you never get bored. We particularly enjoyed the Maldivian cooking class. Thanks to Prosanta for sharing his cooking skills with us! - A special mention to Rajesh at the barbecue - his kindness and great cooking skills added an extra touch of hospitality that made our trip even more memorable. Now, the points that could be improved: - As returning guests, we felt that the attention to detail had slipped compared to our previous visits. For example, the turndown service was inconsistent, and we had to request more tea for our room after running out, which we hadn’t experienced before. - We also preferred the previous dining experience, where the menu changed daily, offering more variety. The current setup includes numerous supplements, which can make the options feel somewhat limited unless you’re willing to pay extra on top of what’s already included. Overall, it was an incredible stay.

Staff were nicest I’ve met in a hotel . Rooms were up to date and comfortable. Not as expensive as other resorts in maladies . Only 50 rooms so very private with lots of tranquility. Great diving

Amazing Hotel. Serenity at its best! The room and amenities are outstanding. The bed is so comfy ! The sheets and towels are extremely of good qualities !can't fault anything regarding the beautiful welcome from the landing to the speedboat until our arrival. The whole hotel is very clean spotless! The only thing I was very disappointed with their food quality in the Saffron restaurant! It was a Thai cuisine, I am sorry to say it's was below standard. I returned the plate and explained my concerns, but came back the same from the kitchen, and I was on half board. The menu I chose was a La carte, a set of 3 courses, but only one set for HB guests,which was free of charge Anything else you have to pay subsidiaries, which is quite expensive. I did choose with extras of Usd 48/- But I was not satisfied with the menu I left my feedback with the waiters. I was expecting much higher from the category of this hotel and the way I was impressed with everything else. Please note that if it's a buffet, no charges! .Apparently, not every is a buffet, so you are forced to eat in the restaurant where there are not a lot of choices !. I felt a little bit cheated.Only breakfast is a full buffet every day. I think the hotel should really look into these other's than everything else is amazing.

"We spent an unforgettable Eid holiday at the breathtaking Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru Maldives. The resort exceeded our expectations, boasting pristine beaches with crystal-clear waters, exceptional facilities, and luxurious rooms. The culinary experience was outstanding, with Chef ANN going above and beyond to accommodate my gluten allergy. Her attention to detail and kindness made our dining experiences truly special. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Chef ANN and the entire staff for making our stay truly unforgettable."

A very cozy hotel in the middle of the ocean. We vacationed as a family with children. Everything about this hotel is wonderful! The rooms are comfortable and cozy, the swimming pool perfectly complements the atmosphere. There is a terrace overlooking the sea. As for the kitchen, this is a separate issue. All food is very verydelicious, prepared to suit every taste. Desserts and sweets were an integral part of the holiday 😊 - it’s just a masterpiece, how delicious everything is. Thank you very much to the staff for the comfort and care and for a wonderful holiday.
