Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru Ranked Among Top 3 Spas in the Maldives
Saturday 21st of June 2025
Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru has been named the #3 Best Spa in the Maldives by the Travel + Leisure Asia Luxury Awards 2025, cementing its reputation as a peaceful retreat rooted in holistic wellness.
Nestled in the natural beauty of North Malé Atoll, the resort invites guests to reconnect with themselves and nature, offering what it calls the "Original Maldives" experience—where time slows, and inner calm is restored.
Established in 1995, Banyan Tree Spa was the first international luxury resort-based spa in the Maldives and continues to lead the way in tropical wellness. At its core is a commitment to intuitive healing, drawing on ancient Asian traditions and natural elements.
The spa's unique philosophy, Banyan Tree Spa & Wellbeing, focuses on harmonising mind, body, and soul. Each ritual is crafted to reflect the rhythm of island life and is delivered by therapists trained for over 600 hours at the brand’s dedicated academy.
Signature Spa Journeys combine locally sourced botanicals, skilled touch, and the soothing sound of the sea. These treatments aim to awaken stillness and provide full physical, mental, and emotional renewal.
The resort’s wellbeing approach embraces regenerative living, where caring for oneself goes hand in hand with caring for the environment. This belief is further reflected in its newly launched Banyan Tree Connections programme—designed for guests seeking more meaningful, grounding experiences rooted in sustainability and community.
“As we celebrate 30 years of barefoot eco-luxury at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru this year, this recognition is a tribute to our passionate therapists and reflects the essence of what we offer – a sacred place for renewal, reconnection, and a return to inner calm,” said Elias Pertoft, General Manager of Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru and Dhawa Ihuru.
With this latest recognition, Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru continues to stand out as more than just a luxury destination. It remains a timeless sanctuary—where wellbeing is not a trend, but a tradition, and where travellers come not just to rest, but to rediscover a sense of wholeness.
