A swift transfer by speedboat delivers you to Banyan Tree, where staff members provide a warm greeting. Vabbinfaru means “round island circled
by a round coral reef”, in Maldivian, and the resort has made the most of this geographical quirk with
its excellent water sports centre. Complimentary sailing, snorkelling, windsurfing and canoeing are
offered alongside an array of other marine activities, from water-skiing and fishing to diving.
Indeed, the only traffic here is underwater, for this tiny island can be walked around in about
twenty minutes. Welcome seclusion comes in the new Deluxe Beachfront Villas, offering space
to lounge on your large sun deck with direct access onto the beach. Cooled by gentle sea breezes, all
have private Jet pools and outdoor showers, while conical thatched roofs and carved wooden doors add
a rustic charm.
When you’re not relaxing on the beach with a book or exploring the lagoon, enjoy a rejuvenating
treatment in the award-winning Banyan Tree Spa. Improve your wellbeing further with a fresh seafood
lunch or dinner, in the Ilaafathi restaurant, featuring Maldavian and International treats in a casual setting.
Alternatively, a private chef and butler could serve dinner on your terrace or on the lagoon’s sandbank,
perhaps featuring the fish you caught earlier that day.
