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.

t is very close to Male and has complete supporting facilities. Appropriate breakwaters provide a relatively safe environment for the lagoon, and the waves in the trench are also relatively small. Very suitable for taking children to experience snorkeling.

Me and my girlfriend just spent a week on this amazing island and I have to say the best thing was the people who work there. The head chef Sagar was awesome and the MVP of our vacation. My girlfriend is celiac and really need the most and perfect attention in preparing her food with absolutely no contamination of gluten and he personally made her every single meal everyday coming to ask us if everything was okay after. Really made her enjoy the whole week with no worry at all about food. Also the service from now my personal friend Zidane Ally. He was always super kind and ready to accommodate each and everyone of our requests. He even set the table for my birthday in the cutest way and was a pleasure talking to him always. Every time he saw us he would greet us with a smile and would make sure everything was in order so I suggest you to look for him when you go into the sea breeze to eat. Really am awesome week and we will definitely be back Read less
