Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru Unveils a Wellbeing Journey

Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru, a tranquil island retreat combining eco-luxury and authenticity, introduces Banyan Tree Connections. Available starting May 2025, this private, immersive wellbeing experience invites guests to reconnect with themselves, loved ones, and nature. Designed for couples, friends, and families, the programme offers a transformative escape into the heart of the Maldives.

Banyan Tree Connections provides a series of curated rituals, mindfulness practices, and movement to help guests slow down and reconnect. As an addition to villa stays, the programme allows guests to experience the Maldives in a deeply personal and rejuvenating way.

Hery Koswoyo, General Manager of Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru, discussed the inspiration behind Banyan Tree Connections, stating:

“Banyan Tree Connections was created in response to a universal longing for deeper relationships, genuine presence, and time well spent together. Here at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru, our tranquil island setting offers a natural canvas for this journey where each moment is intentional and every experience grounded in the essence of the original Maldives.”
