This heavenly little island surrounded by talcum white sand and sky blue waters is a mere twenty minute speedboat ride from the airport. Aptly referred to as 'a sanctuary for the senses', the accommodation consists of forty eight, uniquely designed, conical, thatched-roofed villas each one having a four poster bed, open terrace, private garden and a recessed sitting area with day bed. There are a variety of dining options available, and a host of invigorating packages are on offer at the renowned Banyan Tree Spa. A member of Leading Hotels of the World, Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru is a wonderfully exclusive tropical hideaway with charm, elegance and attention to detail.
