We have stayed twice at BT Vabbinfaru and the beauty of the resort coupled with the consistently high level of service, friendliness & warmth of the staff has exceeded all of our expectations twice over.
The advantages include the great location, only 35 minutes speedboat ride away from the airport ( no hanging around for small seaplanes, luggage restrictions and long waits at the airport)) but far enough away not to have city views of Male. The great house reef is perfect for shore diving and great for snorkelling. The cleanliness of rooms, which are well appointed with decent strength hair dryers that can be plugged in near to mirrors, well stocked fridge, mini bar and room safe. Romantic ambiance with 4 poster beds, mosquito nets & fragrant oils that are burned as part of the evening turn down service. The seclusion & privacy of each rooms hot tub & plunge pool. The temperature in the plunge pool was perfect, refreshing but not icy cold. The temperature in the hot tub can be controlled by guests own selection. Fluffy white towels & big green beach towels, no sign of wear or tear. Excellent maintenance throughout the property and well tended garden shrubberies & flowers throughout the resort.
The Spa is a Banyan Tree speciality and well worth the visit. on both of our visits, special offers have been available for morning treatments.
The food is varied, fresh & tasty.
Lastly, the staff at BT Vabbinfaru make this resort truly memorable and worth revisiting!
