Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru sits on the small round island of Vabbinfaru in North Malé Atoll. The resort is 25 minutes by speedboat away from Velana International Airport. The resort was the first to welcome an international international hotel chain into the Maldives back in 1995. Banyan Tree was also the first resort in the Maldives to open a spa from an international chain. Since then it has maintained its Maldivian identity through the years while at the same time maturing into a respectable 5 star resort. The island is peaceful and private with only 48 beach pool villas all of which have direct access to the blue lagoon and the house reef is a only short swim away from the shore. This resort is one of the few that have absolutely no overwater accommodation at all. Dining options include three restaurants, Thai at Saffron, Japanese at the overwater Madi Hiyaa and Maldivian cooking at Sangu Garden, half-board guests can also dine around all three. The resort's commitment to conservation and sustainability is exemplified in it's eco-initiatives, The house reef carries an electric reef built in 2001, one of several projects run from the island's Marine Lab, the first resort-based marine lab in the country. The resort also has a solar-powered desalination plant. As a guest of Banyan tree you can also also enjoy exclusive access to the nearby sister island, Dhawa Ihuru, for additional dining and house reef exploration. Banyan Tree suits couples and wellness travellers who want a quiet, conservation-led island rather than a resort built on overwater villas.
