Luxury Travel Advisor - August 2007 - (Page 71) Banyan Tree THE PULSE MALDIVES MADIV ARU If you think your VIP might opt for a peaceful island paradise rather than a posh resort complex, steer him toward the Maldives, where Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts (www.banyantree.com) unveiled its brand-new Banyan Tree Maldives Madivaru property in July. The property, which rests in the North Ari Atoll, offers the first tented-pool-villa concept in the Maldives. Not the average camping experience, the villas are designed with the needs of your ever-trendy clients in mind. Each villa comprises three individual tents equipped to function as living, sleeping and bath areas. Your VIP can even enjoy in-villa treatments in the spacious bath tent, which features a pair of spa beds. For the ultimate private island paradise, book the entire island for your client, which affords the option of throwing chic shindigs for two to 18 of their closest friends. Sending VIPs? Contact Victor Koi (saleslosangeles@banyantree.com; 805-499 9101), the U.S. representative for Banyan Tree. THE RESORT takes camping to luxurious new extremes.
