Bandos Island, 08480 Malé, Maldives –

Lock in a great price for Bandos Maldives – rated 8.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

The beaches are awesome at the property. Is close enough to Male so you can go by speed boat so it decreases the budget on transportation. We went on a all inclusive package and the food at the buffet was really good and with a lot of variety.

Enzo, Argentina

We stayed in a sea villa. It was big and beautiful. We were worried about the food but their restaurants offered more than we needed. The staff are friendly. The service is great.

Mohammad, Saudi Arabia

Everything, just a perfect spot for a honeymoon. I was living a dream.

Yevhenii, Ukraine

Fantastic resort with a stunning house reef. We had the most amazing, they really cater for everyone’s taste. Bandos also went out their way to return our camera we left behind, just in time before we boarded our plane. Thank you so much Bandos, we had an unforgettable time. 🤗

Michelle, Switzerland

beaches were nice. snorkeling was great. Hotel is located in great location as there is no need to take a second plane. Half hour after landing in Male you could be at reception. Staff was friendly. Service in restaurants was good.

Khayyam, Oman

Scubamooners, United States of America

just 10 minutes boat trip from Male airport, hospitality, staff attentiveness, especially of our room cleaner Mohamed, location of and view from our Jacuzzi beach villa, nice beach in front of our villa, white sand, sea water was warm (28 degrees C) and clean, great underwater world (different fishes, turtles, sharks, sting-grey etc.), good food, good gym, welcome bottle of a wine and fruit platter for the not-first-time comers, invitation for parties, nice weather, no humidity, relaxation. Associate Dana was very helpful with our requests.

Oleg, Georgia

A big mistake. Reviews can be deceiving. We picked it because of the many good reviews but turned out to be a very average resort if you are looking for only a resort on the beach. There are many better resorts that you far much better. The beach and the water around the island is not what you would expect being in the Maldives. Overall, I would never come again here unless I have to
