ALL INCLUSIVE INCLUSIONS 

Ilaafathi Restaurant

Beachfront dining amongst the tropical trees

At Ilaafathi you can enjoy a wide variety of freshly prepared breakfast items and delicious set dinners, to give you the real island dining experience in a casual setting of rustic wooden tables set amongst tropical trees on the white sandy beach.

Naiboli Bar

​​​​​​​

All day drinks and dining under the tropical breeze.

All-day dining selections are available at the open-air Naiboli Bar, including an extensive range of delicious appetisers, light meals and cocktails. Set on the sandy beachfront, you can enjoy the ocean breeze, sea and surf in a setting reflecting the best of Maldivian charm. Come Friday, watch the mesmerising Bodu Beru, a drumming music performance showcased by lively musicians in ethnic costumes.

Private Dining

Fancy having a wildly romantic candlelit barbecue dinner in the intimacy of your villa or by the beach? That can be arranged for you  - you could even have your very own private chef and waiter. Spoilt by attentive service and fine cuisine, you will feel pampered like royalty.

Sandbank Dining

Have you ever dreamt of sweeping your loved one off their feet with a romantic dinner that is out of this world? Let your imagination run wild and make your dreams come true by journeying 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.

Guests are entitled to take breakfast at the resort’s main restaurant, Ilaafathi Restaurant.

Guests are entitled to take lunch and / or dinner at Ilaafathi Restaurant or Riveli Restaurant at Angsana Ihuru.

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.

Enjoy a canoe ride with your partner or let a guide take you both on a leisurely catamaran ride.

For more vigorous workouts, head for the resort's health & fitness room. And for the less actively inclined, a ramble  around Malé exploring its sights and shopping, or a promenade along the beach are just as rousing. If the sun gets to you, simply retire to breezy Naboli bar for board games or some quiet reading.

 RESORT ACTIVITIES

Banyan Tree Dive Centre

As a Five Star Golden Palm PADI Dive Centre, Banyan Tree offers the full range of PADI and Nitrox courses.

They pay individual attention to each guest, so courses and dives are conducted in small groups.

The professional instructors teach in different languages and take great care to create an environment that's truly relaxed.

No stress, just pure fun and safe diving!

Many resorts offer "mass diving". Banyan Tree is different - they have set themselves the mission to create ecological awareness amongst their guests, pursue research in coral growth and pioneer projects supporting marine life.

From the beginner's Resort Course to the PADI Open Water Course, you will be taught in great detail about the ocean and its fascinating life.

Imagine - Banyan Tree employs dedicated marine biologists who offer environmental dives and eco-safaris, on which they share their expert knowledge. You will be introduced to the unique Lotus and Turtle Research Projects, which have earned Banyan Tree the prestigious PATA (Pacific Asia Travel Association) Award 2002 for Corporate Environmental Programme.

So if you dive with them, you will discover the mysterious creatures of the ocean and leave with a much better understanding of the "Blue Planet".
