It's amazing to swim with all the beautiful coral & coral fishes. I need a h2o prove camera the next time round. It's a perfect place for couples, a romantic and relaxing get away. u need not bring much as most of the stuff is provided. Things like make-up removed ( I gotta give a thump for that). When u...

We stayed here for our honeymoon last year and had a wonderful time. It really is paraside on earth, and definitely the place to go for utter relaxation and understated luxury. We stayed in No 7 on the sunset side (a garden villa). It really was luxury, and had everything you could possibly need. I liked the extra privacy the... More

A small (usually almost round) island 25 minutes by boat from Male. There are two jetties, one main and one "sunset". The main (south south east) jetty caters for arrivals, departures, trips and the free shuttle transfer to the sister Angsana island. There is a reception, an outside buffet dining area used for all lunches and an internal/external area used... More

Despite May being low season and people warning of monsoon, yes we had rain (mostly for 1 hour only and at night), we had awesome hot sunny weather for most of the week and one or 2 hot but overcast half days. This place is paradise. Tips are: bring good mozzie repellent for evenings, get the speedboat not the seaplane,... More

Having last stayed here 9 years ago I was not sure what expect. I should not have worried, the standard was still superb. Hosts were aware we had stayed their and other Banyan Tree resorts previously, all part of the nice touch Banyan Tree and to make it even better they upgraded us to the top Villa free of charge....

We were there THREE times (April 2010, January and May 2011) despite of the fact that this is far from cheap trip. Almost everything is perfect. I especially like it because of diving - dive base leader - Adam Aana, instructor (or maybe already PADI IDC Instructor?) Zoona Naseem, Michi Tanaka (thanks to her I became a diver!) are simply...

We really love this hotel and recommend it to anyone who's looking for a private and luxurious place in the Maldives. This was our 2nd time here (out of 4 stays in the Maldives), and it is now very difficult for us to pick another destination for our next holidays - probably our preferred destination in the world. The main... More

Absolutely wonderful. Staff, food, venue, beach, quality, cleanliness, facilities were simply top standard. My wife and I had reserved Villa 43 which was the Vabinfarru Villa (top choice), and this came with an additional outdoor Jacuzzi. We also booked the full board which included a delectable breakfast and lunch buffet, as well as a romantic (fine dining) dinner. Also, as... More
