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.

We have been coming to the island of Bandos on vacation for many years. The best and safest diving club is here. Every dive is a fantastic experience. The bungalows are very pleasant and clean, cleaning twice a day, changing towels. We always book for the sunset side. Amazing! The staff is extremely kind and attentive: they try to fulfill all requests as soon as possible. European and Asian flavors can also be found in the restaurant selection, the selection is huge! You can walk around the island in about 45 minutes. If you don't want to swim in the ocean, there is a very pleasant pool, especially good for families with children. The house reef is quite fantastic, as if you were swimming in an aquarium. Bandos can be reached in about 20 minutes by boat from the airport. I can only recommend it to everyone, an unforgettable experience!!! Read less

Just back from a lovely 10 night stay at Bandos. The island is absolutely beautiful and the staff are incredible. The only negative is the food at the buffet in the main restaurant especially the breakfast, the only thing we enjoyed was the scrambled eggs and freshly made omelettes. We only ate dinner at the main restaurant 1 night as there was not a lot of options and the food was quite bland but the al a cart food in all of the other restaurants was outstanding and made up for it. I definitely recommend doing the Huvan BBQ grill which they do every Thursday. It’s on the beach, weather permitting, and the food is delicious. Also seafood Sunday at the grill bar - phenomenal! Big thank you to Rameez at Huvan who would always greet us with a big smile and took the time to stop and chat to us. We will miss you Rameez! Also a big thank you to Merdur (I definitely have not spelt that right) but he works in reception and drives the carts. He would always stop and offer us a lift if he saw us walking somewhere. We had an amazing holiday and were very sad to leave but we have made some everlasting memories and some great friends. Read less
