Angsana Velavaru in the Maldives with its innovative InOcean Villas


Winter wow factor


It’s hard to beat the Indian Ocean for winter sun and Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts presents four resorts here to impress, along with tempting special offers


The Maldives offers couples and families a chance to leave behind hectic lifestyles and head for relaxing resorts such as Angsana Velavaru, set in the virtually untouched South Nilandhe Atoll, 40 minutes by seaplane from Male International Airport. It’s easy to do nothing, or everything at Angsana Velavaru.


There are as many as 101 activities to choose from, ranging from sedate exploration in a glass-bottom canoe, to thrilling visits to vibrant dive sites. Meanwhile, guests can get involved at the Marine Conservation Lab, little visitors can have fun at the Kids’ Club and adults can feel revitalised at Angsana Spa. Angsana Velavaru has 79 beachfront villas and 34 InOcean Villas, the first standalone collection of water villas in the Maldives, reached by a quick speedboat ride from the island. Guests here can enjoy free nights in 2016, with a stay-seven, pay-for-five offer*. Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru is set in the North Male Atoll of the


Maldives, just a 20-minute speedboat ride from the airport. Representing rustic, barefoot luxury at its best, this intimate


resort is perfect for honeymooners, couples and special occasions. Each of the 48 villas is shaped like a seashell and topped with a thatched roof to give a true Maldivian flavour. The resort has an incredible house reef, while the Marine


Conservation Laboratory is a must-visit to learn about the local eco-system. The award-winning spa ensures true pampering. If booking for 2016, it’s worth noting clients can enjoy free night stays, with a stay-seven, pay-for-five offer*.


Tropical retreats The Seychelles has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, including Intendance Bay, where Banyan Tree Seychelles is set. This romantic hideaway is on the south-west coast of Seychelles’ main island of Mahe and just 30 minutes from the airport. There are 60 Creole-style villas, each with a


private pool, or for extra luxury, try the Beachfront Spa Pool Villa, with massage pavilion, outdoor jet pool and steam room. Banyan Tree’s spa experience will give memorable pampering, while time can also be enjoyed at the infinity pool, in yoga sessions or dining high above the beach a deux. If making a B&B booking in 2016, reward clients with a half board upgrade*. Over in Mauritius, Angsana Balaclava Mauritius awaits. An


all-suite boutique resort, it has a great location in Turtle Bay on the north-west coast, 20 minutes from Port Louis and Grand Baie. There are just 52 fabulously private suites here, most with plunge pools, and a four-bedroom villa. As well as the resort’s award-winning spa, there are numerous watersports to enjoy and a seaside village to wander to nearby. Peaceful beach and amazing sunsets make this a perfect retreat for honeymooners, who can receive up to 45% off their accommodation*. For more information, visit banyantree.com and angsana.com
