Special thanks to Fairooz for keeping our villa perfectly clean and refreshed every day, and to Okta from reception for helping us with everything we needed. They truly made our honeymoon unforgettable.”

    “L'île est magnifique : un bouquet de palmiers au milieu de l'océan, sans addition de dizaines de villas sur l'eau comme c'est le cas dans la plupart des resorts désormais. Les fonds marins sont redevenus très beaux (ils avaient souffert en raison d'El Nino) . On peut voir de nombreux poissons dès que l'on arrive sur le reef. Le marine lab sur place s'emploie à protéger et régénérer les coraux. Pour le snorkeling, on peut également se rendre sur Ihuru (l'ile voisine accessible par une navette) où le reef est encore plus facile d'accès (et peut-être un peu plus beau). Les chambres sont (relativement) simples et meublées avec goût, dotées de tout le confort nécessaire. La literie est confortable et le linge de lit tout doux, tout soyeux. Le ménage est fait consciencieusement deux fois par jour. L'espace piscine-jacuzzi privé situé à l'arrière du bungalow est très sympa, même si nous n'utilisons pas (ou peu) la piscine. La vue depuis notre chambre (Beachfront sunset view) était fabuleuse : nous adorons la vue sur Ihuru (petite île à la nature préservée) et les couchers de soleil sont incroyables. Les chambres Beachfront sont un peu plus dans le vent et donc il y fait moins chaud sur la plage. Le restaurant japonais et son bar bénéficient d'un emplacement spectaculaire et d'une construction remarquable (en forme de raie manta). C'est vraiment très sympa de prendre un verre au coucher du soleil et de dîner dans cet endroit à l'ambiance chic-décontracté. Tout le personnel est adorable et ultra-professionnel et fait de cet hôtel un endroit chaleureux où l'on a envie de revenir. C'était notre 11e séjour à Vabbinfaru et chaque fois nous constatons combien tout est très bien entretenu avec des améliorations deci delà.”
