This May, Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru and Dhawa Ihuru are transforming Mother’s Day into an immersive journey of wellness, connection, and environmental stewardship. The resorts offer a meticulously curated collection of experiences designed to honor motherhood while championing sustainable travel and marine conservation.
From May 10-25, 2025, guests can indulge in a comprehensive celebration that goes beyond traditional gifting, focusing instead on creating meaningful memories and nurturing family bonds through transformative experiences.
Exclusive Wellness and Family Experiences
At the heart of the celebration are innovative offerings that redefine family leisure. The Stay More, Pay Less promotion encourages extended family stays, providing exceptional value for multi-generational travelers seeking quality time together. Mothers can enjoy 30% off watersports and marine activities, including guided snorkeling, catamaran sailing, and exciting marine discovery experiences across the Maldives’ most pristine house reefs.
The award-winning Banyan Tree Spa and 8lements Spa present a special package featuring signature treatments paired with complimentary private yoga sessions. Mothers will also receive a unique 30% discount on hand-crafted ceramic products from Banyan Tree Gallery, adding a personalized touch to their wellness journey.
Culinary and Cultural Highlights
A standout event is the Mother’s Day Cooking Competition on May 11, where fathers and children will collaborate to create heartfelt dishes, with mothers serving as honored judges. The resort will also commemorate Vesak from May 10-12 with a specially curated set menu at Saffron restaurant, offering both vegan and non-vegan options that reflect traditional culinary heritage.
Sustainability at the Forefront
Demonstrating a commitment to environmental preservation, the resorts will host several ecological initiatives. During the Full Moon Lights Out event (May 12-15), non-essential lighting will be switched off, inviting guests to experience nature’s rhythms through moonlit dining and cruises.
Additional conservation-focused events include complimentary guided snorkeling for World Biodiversity Day (May 22) and a Save the Reef trip on World Turtle Day (May 23), allowing guests to actively participate in marine ecosystem protection.
Regenerative Travel Experience
The Banyan Tree Connections programme offers a holistic approach to family bonding, integrating guided rituals, mindful movement, and immersive nature experiences. This innovative concept transforms the traditional vacation into a profound journey of reconnection and personal growth.
By blending luxury, wellness, cultural appreciation, and environmental consciousness, Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru and Dhawa Ihuru are redefining resort experiences. Their May 2025 celebration invites families to not just vacation, but to engage meaningfully with themselves, each other, and the planet.
