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.

My wife booked 10 days all inclusive at Bandos, for a surprise birthday present for me. There was only one thing bad, having to leave after our stay. The whole experience was fantastic from the moment you arrive by speed boat. The Island is beautiful and kept clean around the clock. The thing that made it extra special though, is the staff. Every staff member (and are a lot) from the waiters, house cleaners ground keepers etc. will not pass by, without a smile and a greeting. It is really hard to single out anyone in particular, but Guru who runs the pool bar, is one that needs mentioning. He makes you feel that extra special. Thanks Bandos. Read less
