With the magnificent Indian Ocean at your doorstep, interrupted only by powdery white sand, you will desire never to leave Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru.

Encircled by a white powdery beach, 48 elegantly rustic villas are nestled on a coral atoll in the Indian Ocean. Uniquely designed to reflect a seashell spiral, the understated elegance of conical thatched roof villas imparts a sense of traditional Maldivian magic.

Oceanview Villas deliver unparalleled privacy with an open-air jet pool on a wooden patio. Some rooms have private gardens and outdoor showers as well.

The Beachfront Villas are ideally suited for a romantic getaway with spectacular views and an outdoor jet pool and sundeck. Some also have private gardens.

The Vabbinfaru Villa is a beach hideaway with a personal touch including a large landscaped garden with ocean views.

As a five-star Gold Palm Resort dive center, Banyan Tree offers the full range of PADI and Nitrox courses and diving instructors who are highly professional, enthusiastic and PADI certified.

Individual attention is paid to each guest, so courses and dives are conducted in small dive groups. Professional diving instructors take great care to create an environment that’s relaxed and interesting.

The Banyan Tree Maldives Marine Lab on the island is the first of its kind to be funded and built by a private resort. Guests can join specially trained in-house divers to monitor programs such as reef and species inventory checks, and even sponsor their own coral gardens. The laboratory is equipped with instruments for research in coral biology and ecology, and green sea turtle conservation.
