We stayed at the Banyan Tree for a sublime week in November 2008. If you are looking for total relaxation, this is the perfect place to really unwind and really get away from it all. Our room wasn't huge but we didn't go half way across the world to stay inside the room. The beach was beautiful, white sand and... more

We stayed here for one week for our honeymoon. We had a week of relentless laziness, the best food we have ever had and a routine of walks along the beach at dusk, swimming with tropical fish and quiet understated luxury. more

20 minutes from the airport. 2 hour airport transfer on rough sea easily can ruin even the best accomodation. Beach is fantastic, best in front of villas 1-16, elsewhere can be windy and the sand erosion stronger. Villas are not new or opulent but comfortable, practical without any annoying small things. You do not need your shoes even for dinner.... more

We have just returned home from our honeymoon at the Banyan Tree. I have to say we did feel a little disappointed. The website looked totally amazing, we saw all the shining reviews on here and were aware that BT has an excellent reputation so didn't think twice about booking for our honeymoon. I have to say that it did... more

The service was exceptional. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We went on the snorkelling trip and they noticed my mom was a little tentative so they took her by hand around the reef. The boat driver was onshore watching and brought the boat to pick them up when they looked tired. The marine life here is well preserved.... more

The Banyan tree vabbinfaru was an amazing destination for our honeymoon. Everything - the location, food, service, rooms, spa - was fantastic. From the minute you get off the plane and on to the boat you settle into comfort and relaxation. It was the perfect place for a honeymoon and we wish we could go back every year! The villas... more

We went to Banyan Tree to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversay. The service was exceptional and very personalised. Our beachfront villia was exactly as described in the brochure and just a few steps into the warm Indian Ocean. Snorkeling and diving was the best ever experianced with an abundance of aquatic life and coral. The food was exquisite with plenty... more

My husband and I spent 8 fantastic days at BT Vabbinfaru last December for our honeymoon, and highly recommend it. In a nutshell: - the landscape was picture perfect. Although late December is considered "the" time to visit the Maldives, we did have a couple of hours of rain during most of our days there. This however did not bother... more

From start to finish, this resort is top notch. We stayed in a Deluxe Oceanfront Villa (#42 - Rimmas) and really liked it. A great baech out front with plenty of sand. Some villas were on the beach but it had eroded pretty far back. The villa was great - with a hot tub (very very hot water) and an... more
