Day or night, wining and dining in the breathtaking natural beauty of the Maldives is simply unforgettable. A romantic experience you will cherish forever. Banyan Tree Maldives Vabbinfaru offers excellent dining choices ranging from eclectic Maldivian and International cuisine at Ilaafathi restaurant to candlelit dinners under the stars. You can be sure that the cuisine is delectable, the setting exquisite and the atmosphere awe-inspiring.
Ilaafathi Restaurant
Tuck into scrumptious Maldivian and International treats in the casual setting of Ilaafathi restaurant. Set right on the beach with a natural Alang-Alang roof, this beachfront eatery serves extravagant buffet breakfasts and superb set dinners that will make you come back for more.
Naiboli Bar
Appetizing snacks are served all day long at our open-air Naiboli Bar, along with your favorite cocktails. You can while away many happy hours here chatting with friends, having a game of snooker, or simply unwinding in the warm and friendly atmosphere. Perfect for a light appetite in the middle of the day.
Private Dining
Fancy having a wildly romantic candlelit barbecue dinner in the intimacy of your villa or by the beach? We'll arrange that for you and even provide you with your very own private chef and waiter. Spoilt by our attentive service and fine cuisine, you will feel pampered like royalty.
Sand Bank Dining
Have you ever dreamt of sweeping your loved one off the feet with a romantic dinner that is out of this world? Let your imagination run wild and we'll make your dreams come true by taking you to a stunning sandbank by speedboat. The breathtaking view of the sun setting over the Indian Ocean will whet your appetite, revealing the magical night sky of a billion stars and the hypnotic melody of the ocean. Once ushered to a table of gourmet victuals and champagne, with only the moon and torches lighting your feast, the universe is reduced to just the two of you. What a wonderful way to start the evening. Simply perfect.
Island Wedding Ceremony
Amidst soft soothing music blending with the natural rhythm of the Indian Ocean, the Sunset Jetty is adorned in white decorations. The bride arrives by speedboat and proceeds with the groom along a footpath with delicate flower petals to the venue. After a short, beautiful ceremony culminating in the exchange of vows, celebratory champagne and canapes we honor the traditional ritual of cutting the wedding cake. The newly married couple lingers to enjoy a blissful sunset, while we prepare an exclusive wedding dinner with delectably romantic dishes served by a private chef and waiter - another highlight of the evening. A surprise awaits the happy couple back in their villa: a special turndown service that is accompanied by a framed 'wedding certificate'.
Under Water Wedding Ceremony
Amidst the coral wonders of the Maldives, moving with the natural rhythm of the Indian Ocean, descend into the depths of the most amazing wedding venue in the world. The bride and groom depart by traditional dhoni to the secret wedding dive site, the bride in a white dress and the groom 'resplendent' in black trousers and white shirt. The Dive Base Leader is the Master of Ceremony and will guide the couple to the underwater wedding location with a sea full of corals and colorful fish as the witnesses. After a short, bubble-blowing ceremony culminating in the exchange of vows and rings, they ascend back to the surface and board the diving dhoni where canapes and the celebratory champagne are prepared and the traditional 'cutting the cake' takes place. Following the journey back to the resort, the newly married couple proceeds to their decorated villa to freshen up. At the venue of the exclusive wedding dinner a romantic menu is prepared by a private chef and served by a butler - another highlight of the evening. A surprise awaits the happy couple back in their villa - a special turndown service that is accompanied by a framed 'wedding certificate'.
Spa
As you hear the waves and feel the gentle breezes of the Indian Ocean, a stillness of spirit pervades your body and soul. In the sensuous spa environment of Banyan Tree Maldives we will soothe your senses, calm frazzled nerves and enhance your well being. There are many ways to rejuvenate your inner and outer self here, from the refreshing effects of aromatherapy to heavenly massages amidst sweet floral scents.
Recreation
If you venture beyond the pampered realm of your villa and the wonderfully slow Maldivian pace of life, you'll find a wealth of recreational diversions. For a start, you can dive or snorkel in the transparent brilliance of the ocean, explore its riches, and go deep-sea or night fishing. After all, this is a paradise renowned for superlative fishing, sailing, diving and snorkeling. If you prefer, sit in the shallow waters and watch the myriad of exotic schools of fish dart in and out of the light.
