Accommodation
Tented Pool Villas
Banyan Tree Maldives Madivaru comprises 6 Tented Pool Villas. Each Tented Pool Villa comprises three individual tents, distinctively equipped to function as living, sleeping, and bath areas. The spacious bath tent features a pair of spa beds for enjoying in-villa treatments that include signature Banyan Tree Spa massages and facials. Interior furnishings exude a warm and tropical ambience, replete with timber flooring, rattan and teak furniture, handcrafted wooden and canvas accents, and luxurious ceiling canopies.
Restaurants & Bars
Boa Keyo
Boa Keyo is the name of an indigenous tree covering large parts of the island. The name is also given to the cosy restaurant and bar, which, like the trees, give welcome shade during the heat of the day. Indoors, the tents are spacious and comfortable, furnished elegantly and the ideal place to retire to when it gets too warm on the beach.
The outside deck graciously overlooks the Indian Ocean. This is the place to relax with a cocktail or fine wine from early evening until long into the night. Keep your eyes glued to the crystal clear waters to spot eagle rays, turtles, dolphins or even manta rays.
Sandbank Dining
For an even more Maldivian experience, let yourself be brought across to a deserted sandbank, where your footprints in the sand will be the only sign of human life. Escorted by your island host and a chef, they will whip up an elegant set-up and exquisite meal. Once the tide comes up to your knees you know it will be time to slowly pack up and return to the island. Breakfast, lunch or dinner… each time of the day will offer a different perspective, yet each will be a moment to treasure.
Private In-Villa Dining
Allow your experienced Island Host to serve your meals in the comfort of your own residence. Lazy breakfasts in bed, cool lunches by the pool or romantic candle lit dinners on the beach in front of your villa.
Enjoy, a private barbecue or a selection of international dishes on the deck in front of your villa or on the beach. Let your island host and a personal chef treat you to an extravagant experience under the stars.
Features
Marine Exploration
Regarded by some locals as Maldives’ most beautiful island, Madivaru Island is nature’s gem in the sparkling North Ari Atoll, where pristine white sandy beaches, a beautiful shallow lagoon and breathtaking house reefs surround the island. It is a haven for guests who enjoy marine adventures. Let Banyan Tree’s experienced dive experts take you on an exploration of Maldives’ rich diverse underwater marine environment or join the regularly scheduled excursions on The Banyan Madi which include sunset cruises, morning and night fishing, dolphin safari, and manta sighting cruises.
Madivaru Maldives Spa
The Banyan Tree Maldives Spa experience is conducted in-villa for the ultimate island indulgence. Side-by-side treatment beds in the bath tent are transformed into an oasis of calm as guests receive facials or massages in the privacy of their own environment.
