Recreation

If you venture beyond the pampered realm of your villa and the wonderfully slow Maldivian pace of life, you'll find a wealth of recreational diversions. For a start, you can dive or snorkel in the transparent brilliance of the ocean, explore its riches, and go deep-sea or night fishing. After all, this is a paradise renowned for superlative fishing, sailing, diving and snorkeling. If you prefer, sit in the shallow waters and watch the myriad of exotic schools of fish dart in and out of the light, or go kite flying with the clear blue sky as the backdrop.

Enjoy a canoe ride with your partner or let our guide take you both on a leisurely catamaran ride. For more vigorous workouts, head for the resort's health & fitness room. And for the less actively inclined, a ramble around Malé exploring its sights and shopping, or a promenade along the beach are just as rousing. If the sun gets to you, simply retire to breezy Naboli bar for board games or some quiet reading.

- Water sports facilities: snorkeling, PADI dive centre, deep-sea fishing, night fishing, water-skiing, windsurfing, catamaran sailing, canoeing and fun tubes - Health & fitness room - Excursions: Malé sightseeing, island hopping, snorkeling safari, private yacht charter and sea plane trips

 

Dining

The two restaurants serve a range of delicious Asian and international meals with impeccable service. For that special occasion the hotel will be pleased to arrange private dining in your villa or even on a private sandbank, at an extra charge.

Day or night, wining and dining in the breathtaking natural beauty of the Maldives is simply unforgettable. A romantic experience you will cherish forever. Banyan Tree Maldives Vabbinfaru offers excellent dining choices ranging from eclectic Maldivian and International cuisine at Ilaafathi restaurant to candlelit dinners under the stars.

You can be sure that the cuisine is delectable, the setting exquisite and the atmosphere awe-inspiring. Bon Appetit or Ufaaveri Keumeh, as they say in Dhivehi.

 

Room Facilities Information

There are 48 villas spread around the island, all of which are located on the beach to maximise the superb ocean views. The villas are constructed of local stone and timber under a spiral thatched roof and furnished to a high standard with four poster beds, scented candles and wooden bowls.

Beachfront Villa

With its private outdoor jet pool and sundeck by the beach, the Beachfront Villa is ideally suited for a romantic getaway. Watch the spectacular ocean vista unfold from the terrace, while the balmy sea breeze cools the room. Or step onto the silky sand of the beach and swim above the virtually untouched house reef with its glorious display of color and the occasional trumpet fish, harmless baby shark and turtle.

Oceanview Villa

The Oceanview Villa delivers unparalleled privacy with its very own open-air jet pool on a wooden patio and a sala (pavilion) in the walled garden. Relax under the shade of the pavilion while sipping your cocktail. Immerse yourself in the bubbling waters of the jet pool and feel the tension seep away from your body as you drift off to the sound of waves lapping on the picture-perfect shores.

Deluxe Beachfront Villa

The stylish interior has been designed to be bright and breezy - it opens on to a large sundeck at the front that leads to the powder-soft beach and into a glitzy bathroom at the back with an outdoor jet pool and garden shower.

Deluxe Oceanview Villa

While featuring the same facilities and comfort as a Deluxe Beachfront Villa, the secluded garden setting of the new Deluxe Oceanview Villa is much treasured for its generous space, privacy and shady greenery.
