“Best eco resort and hospitality in the Maldives”

Oct 29, 2025Mikaela G

A real paradise, made even more exceptional by the incredible hospitality of staff who genuinely go out of their way to make you feel at home. The resort is eco friendly with a marine lab where you can learn all about reef protection and coral regeneration. The villlas are beautiful, right on the most pristine beach you’ve ever seen. The food is five star in all three restaurants which are beautifully designed. I’ve been to multiple places in the Maldives and the Banyan Tree is by far the best.

“I love Vabbinfaru”

第一次来到马尔代夫，选择了悦榕庄瓦宾法鲁，这里的一切都超出了我的预期。瓦宾法鲁的景色和生态环境让我流连忘返，服务也是一流，遇到的每个工作人员都会和我们打招呼问好，服务非常到位细致。非常感谢我的管家 Liu 和保洁 Nafiz ，Liu事无巨细的帮助我们，为我们安排好所有的行程，Nafiz工作非常仔细，打扫的房间我们非常满意，还给了我们惊喜礼物。希望明年我们还能来到悦榕庄瓦宾法鲁度假🏖️。谢谢瓦宾法鲁，谢谢Liu和Nafiz👍 When I came to the Maldives for the first time, I chose Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru. Everything here exceeded my expectations. The scenery and ecological environment of Vabbinfaru make me linger, and the service is also first-class. Every staff member we meet will say hello to us, and the service is very meticulous. Thank you very much to my housekeeper Liu and the room boy Nafiz. Liu helped us in every detail and arranged all the itinerary for us. Nafiz worked very carefully. We were very satisfied with the cleaning of the room and gave us a surprise gift. I hope we can come to Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru for a vacation next year🏖️. Thank you, Vabbinfaru, thank you Liu and Nafiz👍
