Bandos Maldives | Maldives, Indian Ocean | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Maldives, Indian Ocean

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.

“unforgettable trip to Bandos”

Sep 10, 2025Zeaiter11

nothing to describe my perfect stay in Bandos, everything was perfect, staffs was very very friendly from check in to check out, room was perfect

“Very nice resort with excellent service at the Gallery Restaurant”

Sep 09, 2025Daniela A

We had a great trip to Bandos Maledives. The resort itself is very clean and they really take care of the environment. The Gallery Restaurant offers lots of good and fresh food. But the very best at the Gallery Restaurant is the service. Especially the excellent and always good service of Thoha! He knows in advance what you like and is always in a good mood and happy. Thank you so much for this excellent service Thoha!!!! The beaches are very clean. Sadly that lots of the housereef is damaged. Signs tell people not to walk on the reef. But many people do. So sad.

“Great price-quality ratio”

Sep 08, 2025Gubka_Gut

Highly recommend Bandos Maldives for family holiday. It has own reef, and snorkelling is good. We had a full board, and it was enough for excellent stay. So close to Male - 15 minutes from airport by boat. I think it’s one of the best resorts to start Maldives experience.
