4 stars

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.

“Fabulous relaxing holiday”

Sep 17, 2025jules1dk

Just on our way home from a fabulous 10 night trip, in a premium 2 storey villa kept immaculately clean by Mohamed. Buffet restaurant food was good quality, but what made it amazing was the service from Thoha who was very attentive. A convenient to get to resort from Male just a short speedboat ride. All staff and the resort itself was lovely.

“Happy to leave .”

Sep 16, 2025mangarica

I felt very happy when I left. The food quality on my standard here at Banfod is so untasty, and non fresh and not good looking food. The worse for me is that the island is so rounded by artificial concrete barrier. Can’t have a nice photo or views of the horizon with this ugly wall.

“Great Service & the nicest people!”

Sep 15, 2025Anton M

Although we went on many islands on the Maldives, Bandos stands out for its Great Service in combination with the nice people all around. Our waiter Uttar was so nice! Through him, we were able to play Soccer with locals, they even took us for a boatrip to another island, where we supported the Bandos Soccer team. Concluding Review: (based on our other island trips) beaches: 5/5 Reef: 4/5 Accomodation & comfort: 4/5 Service: 5/5 À la carte: 4/5
