The hotel

Bandos Maldives is a perfect setting for a romantic getaway or two weeks of heaven away from the pressures of everyday life. This haven of tranquillity is nestled in lush green vegetation around its own lagoon, with white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. For those looking for a more active holiday, there's plenty to do. The resort has a state-of-the-art sports complex, a swimming pool and wading pool for children, and a water sports centre. The PADI dive centre, run by a team of experienced instructors, offers the chance to view sharks, rays and turtles in their natural habitat. The reef at Bandos is one of the best in the North Malé Atoll and you'll also have access to over 40 different dive locations further afield. With warm, attentive service and a choice of rooms and villas, we're pretty sure you won't want to leave.

The location of the resort is perfect. After a long haul flight, we got a boat transfer to the island. It takes just around 15 minutes. The check in process is efficient and unique. The room is very clean. The excursion staffs are very friendly and patient. The spa is really good. We had a really good time. Thanks

Our water villa was absolutely stunning – a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. The pristine beaches were a sight to behold, and we were amazed by the abundance of marine life we encountered right around our villa. We spotted numerous stingrays, black tip sharks, colorful fish, sea birds, and even storks! The shark feeding activity was a definite highlight and a truly unforgettable experience. While our overall stay was a pleasure, the front desk staff could benefit from some improvement in their approach. A bit more warmth and attentiveness would have elevated the experience even further. Highly recommend this resort for its luxurious accommodations, breathtaking marine encounters, and beautiful beaches. Read less

We had our honeymoon in December and it was amazing from start to finish. Every single staff member we came across were all incredibly lovely throughout our entire 2 weeks there. The resort has lots of restaurants and facilities available which is why we picked this one. It was disappointing that some things were charged in addition to the all inclusive package and is the only reason we have removed 1 star. We would like to specially mention Jahid, who looked after our room for us. Thank you for giving 5 star service and keeping the room always clean. I also like to mention Jannu who always welcomed us to breakfast, lunch and dinner and made us feel at home. The food was one of my favourite things and it always different and very tasty. We paid for a massage, the spa and experience was beautiful. We also paid for the BBQ at huvan and it was so nice to eat on the beach after sunset. Weather was great and we stayed in the premium beach villa which had great views waking up and looking out to sea and gorgeous outdoor bathroom which I miss the most! Would 100% go back. Read less
