Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru's 30th Anniversary

Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru celebrates the Banyan Group’s 30th anniversary with newly revitalized villas, expanded marine conservation efforts, and enriched guest experiences. The North Malé Atoll retreat now features two new restaurants – Saffron, a Thai culinary haven, and Sangu Garden, celebrating Maldivian gastronomy – alongside immersive wellness offerings and sustainable practices.

The refreshed villas incorporate handcrafted Maldivian art, eco-friendly materials, and seamless luxury, showcasing the brand's dedication to authentic experiences. Guests can enjoy activities such as Lagoon Floating Therapy and Underwater Meditation, fostering a deeper connection to the natural surroundings.

At the forefront of marine conservation, the expanded Marine Lab offers educational workshops, coral planting, and snorkelling tours. Notably, a collaboration with the Maldives National University equips local students with marine restoration skills, solidifying the resort's leadership in sustainability.

A weeklong celebration (Nov 27–Dec 7) highlights Saffron’s grand opening, featuring acclaimed Thai Chef Tipaporn Phianthong, and Michelin-starred Chef Hideaki Nagaya at Madi Hiyaa. The dine-around concept offers guests a culinary journey across international and local cuisines.

Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru, a benchmark for sustainable luxury, continues its commitment to preserving the Maldives' beauty and culture as it nears its own 30th milestone.
