: 🏝️✨Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru 📍Vabbinfaru Island As it was our first time in the Maldives, we chose Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru. There was a shuttle boat to take us to the island as soon as we got off the plane. This small island only has this one resort, and it is very private. All the staff were very friendly and were very helpful and willing to guide us, whether it was snorkeling or other activities. 🌴🌊 The location of this hotel is unbeatable! The lagoon is like a paradise, and you may even see small sharks and turtles when you look down at the sea. The hotel is decorated in a rustic yet luxurious style, with great attention to detail. From the moment you walk into the lobby, you feel like you are in a wonderful holiday world. The room was really great! When you open the door, you are greeted by an endless sea view, and the sound of the waves is really healing. We stayed in an HB package room, which was very spacious, and both the indoor and outdoor pools were very clean. I especially liked the smart temperature control feature in the room, and the indoor pool was great. The bedding and accommodation experience were very comfortable, and waking up every morning to see the sunlight streaming through the curtains put me in a great mood. There are also many attractions and activities nearby, and I especially recommend snorkeling and fishing. The diving center on the island is very professional, and the instructors teach you hand in hand, which is very safe. We even saw all kinds of fish, corals, and other marine life. In the evening, the hotel also has cocktail parties and local music performances, which are really rich in activities. There is a wide range of buffets and themed restaurants, and my personal favorite is the Thai restaurant on the island, the green curry is amazing! 🍛 In addition, Naiboli Bar and Madi Hiyaa Restaurant also offer different flavors of food to meet various needs, and you can experience different exotic flavors every day. 🌺 In summary, the stay at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru was really great, not only was the environment beautiful, the service was attentive, and the food and beverage were very satisfying, making every guest feel the warmth of home. Special thanks to the attentive Chinese butler, who arranged everything very well. If you are planning to go to the Maldives, consider this boutique resort on the island, it will not disappoint you!

Himafushi Island, Maldives

After a day of playing in Male, we officially started our vacation mode by landing on the island!～ Our first stop was the Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa An old five-star hotel located in the North Male Atoll of the Maldives, just a 20-minute speedboat ride to the island. It was one of the first hotels in the Maldives to open to Chinese tourists. The island has natural vegetation, and with the sea breeze blowing, walking on the road is really very pleasant. 🆘 We stayed for a total of 3 nights in a Water Bungalow with Pool We tried almost all the restaurants on the island!～ Fortunately, we didn't bring instant noodles, the food on the island was simply not enough to eat Who needs 🍜!～ There are a total of 7 restaurants on the island, except for Kakuni Hut, a Mexican restaurant located next to the beach house, the other restaurants are relatively concentrated. Highly recommended are Sea Salt (seafood-themed restaurant) and Baan Thai (Thai restaurant)❗️ 1⃣️ My top-ranked restaurant is Sea Salt 🕙 Business hours: 🈲 Closed on Fridays The restaurant is set by the sea, and while dining, baby sharks swim back and forth next to the fence, and herons also perch next to the restaurant, it's really amazing!～ What surprised me the most was that they even considered the lighting issue, the menu actually glows (at the end)!～ As a country bumpkin, I was really touched when I saw it for the first time 😊 🌟 Highly recommended dish: Seafood platter, the menu indicates it's suitable for 2 people (lobster + grouper + crab + squid + shrimp), but the portion is definitely enough for four people👌 (At first, I thought it wouldn't be enough for 2 people, but the portion was super sufficient, we ordered too quickly and couldn't finish it 😂), the ingredients were fresh, and the taste was very good, very suitable for Chinese taste. The vegetables and pasta we ordered were also very delicious, we were completely stuffed after the meal. 2⃣️ My second-ranked restaurant is Baan Thai 🕙 Business hours: 🈲 Closed on Mondays Managed by a Thai female chef, the flavors are authentic and more exquisite and delicious than the Thai food I had before. Especially the mango sticky rice, it even had gold leaf!～ PS: The pre-meal snacks also had gold leaf!～ It was really unexpected. 🌟 The first feeling after the meal was that everything that used coconut milk was richer than what I had before, which is very friendly for dessert lovers!～ 3⃣️ My third-ranked restaurant is Anchorage Bar Located in the open area next to the pool, it mainly serves Mediterranean cuisine. That squid dish (forgive me for forgetting the name, if you have the chance to go, just show the picture), chickpeas + olive oil dip, it was super delicious 😋

⚠️tips: If you mainly play in the sea, it is recommended to go to the residential island. The holiday island is not very playable. 💰: Seven days and six nights, 7200rmb all-inclusive, it's more cost-effective if there are more people, just over 6k, and it's more cost-effective if you play less. This time I mainly came to take the two-star exam plus tuition $600, and then there is a round-trip fee from the airport to the island, a total of $50 round trip, and then there are no other fees (except air tickets) pure play! 🏠: The place to live is very clean, simple, you need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste, conditioner (you can buy it in the convenience store downstairs, they can use local currency and US dollars) 🍴: The attached restaurant can order meals from 7:30 in the morning to 12:00 in the evening, there are not many vegetables there, I also saw bell peppers in the convenience store on the last day, for those who can't lack vegetables, it is recommended to bring some vegetable powder, and then it's very important!! For those who eat spicy food, be sure to bring some hot sauce, pickles and hot sauce!! Pasta, pizza, fried noodles, curry chicken rice, I really miss hot pot after eating for a long time. I drink several cups of fresh watermelon juice and orange juice every day, it's really delicious. ⚠️: Diving babies need to bring long pants and long sleeves, bikinis and so on, in short, they need to be fully armed, don't underestimate the sun there, I got sunburned after soaking in the water for 30 minutes
