Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru
Set on a small island, the
delightful Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru is luxuriously simple in style, with a
genuinely friendly and unassuming atmosphere.
The 48 thatched roofed villas are circular in design, with the teakwood four-poster
bed taking pride of place in the centre. Simply furnished, each villa has a private
sundeck and open-air jet pool. The Beachfront Villas are just steps from the
beach. If you're looking for more privacy then choose one of the Ocean View
Villas that are set back slightly.
The resort has only one
restaurant, but the food is delicious and the menus constantly change. And
there are a host of private destination dining options available " we would
highly recommend the romantic sandbank dining experience. If you need a change
of scenery you can also dine at sister property Angsana Ihuru, just a five
minute complimentary boat ride away.
Fill your days with a
treatment at the award-winning spa, snorkelling over the house reef, learning
more about the marine life at the Marine Conservation centre, watching
stingrays being fed in the evenings or simply relaxing with your feet in the
powder white sand.
