Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru

Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru is a hotel where doing nothing is elevated to the rank of art.

From the villa door to the edge of the waves, there's only about fifty meters of white sandy beach. The most difficult choice here is what to do first thing in the morning: take a dip in the gentle ocean, plunge into the cool pool, or enjoy a relaxing bath. The entire resort is surrounded by a coral reef of incredible beauty, just five minutes away from the shore, serving the freshest seafood in the restaurant, and immersing yourself in nirvana at the spa, forgetting that stress even exists in nature. By the way, the word "Vabbinfaru" itself sets the mood for a vacation: in the local dialect, it translates extremely simply and clearly as "round island."
