CONNOISSEUR'S INSIDER TIP

Watch the daily stingray feeding from the wooden jetty at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru. The resort team have named all the graceful gliders that visit here every day at tea time for fresh fish! Come back to the very end of the jetty after dinner in the evening to view the reef sharks swimming under the lights and soak up the starry night with a signature chocolate martini from Naboli Bar.
