I was very fortunate for my first spa destination to not only be to the Maldives but to the Banyan Tree resort of Vabbinfaru.
I'm sure all the islands are absolutely beautiful and I believe worth a visit before we lose them to rising tides.
I'm not a water baby but found the calm, clear waters a joy to swim in. I could even swim around the island in minutes.
Fishing for your supper, stroking sting ray, swimming with reef shark, wind surfing lessons are all some of my fond memories.
The lasting impact for me was the amazing Banyan Tree therapists and treatments. Each treatment would start with a foot ritual as they bathe your feet and discuss your needs. It must have been 12 years ago if not more. We certainly weren't doing this in the West.
I also enjoyed the experience of having a double treatment with your partner. It was very romantic and relaxing.
I've introduced foot rituals into our longer spa treatments and have also created a double treatment room for spa treatments.
I've visited other Banyan Tree resorts but will never forget my first experience.
