Banyan Tree
A luxury boutique resort in the Maldives, Banyan Tree is located
on North Malé Atoll, 45 miles (72km) from the airport in Malé. The
lush tropical interior and sandy beaches of the island are
surrounded by coral reefs that provide scenic settings for scuba
diving and snorkelling. Banyan Tree is an eco-friendly resort, and
offers marine biology and conservation lessons in addition to more
conventional activities like dolphin safaris, spa treatments,
canoeing, sailing, fishing, waterskiing and windsurfing. A quiet
and secluded resort, Banyan Tree doesn't offer much in the way of
nightlife, but has some child and family-friendly programmes.
