Bandos Maldives

Bandos Maldives is the family-friendly choice for anyone looking for a holiday with equal opportunities for activities and relaxation. The resort has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, where you can snorkel among colourful fish, swim in the crystal-clear sea, or find a peaceful spot beneath the tropical palms, while the children enjoy fun activities and make new friends at Kokko Club.

The resort is located on a lush island in the North Malé Atoll, approximately 15 minutes by speedboat from the airport. The island’s manageable size makes it easy to get around between your room, the beach, the pool area, and the other facilities, while the tropical vegetation and crystal-clear sea provide a beautiful setting for your stay.

You will normally stay in a Standard Beachfront Room, just a few steps from the beach and with your own terrace – the perfect place to retreat for a peaceful moment. The room is decorated in traditional Maldivian style with wooden details and features air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a TV, a mini-fridge, a safety box, and tea and coffee-making facilities. The bathroom has a shower, a hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries. You can choose to upgrade to a Beach Villa or Premium Beach Villa if you would like greater comfort, more space, and additional facilities.

In the heart of the island, you’ll find a lush pool area with space for guests of all ages. Bandos also boasts an impressive house reef just off the beach, where you can snorkel among colourful corals and perhaps spot fish, turtles, and gentle reef sharks. The dive centre organises trips to more than 40 dive sites, while the watersports centre offers activities including kayaking, windsurfing, parasailing, and water skiing. You can also play tennis, badminton, or football, work out in the fitness room, or head to Orchid Spa, where treatments for both adults and children provide an extra touch of relaxation.

Full board, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, is included in your stay. Meals are served at the Gallery, where the buffet features international favourites. During the day, you can also dine by the water at Sea Breeze, enjoy fresh fish and seafood as well as grilled dishes at Grill Bar, or experience Japanese teppanyaki at Umi Yaki. All Inclusive is available at an additional cost if you’re looking for an even more convenient holiday.

As darkness falls, the island’s atmosphere comes alive around the bars and warm outdoor areas. Enjoy a quiet drink at Huvan as the last glow fades over the lagoon, or head to Sand Bar, where cocktails and live music bring the evening to life. Here, you can let the day’s experiences sink in as the palm trees sway in the warm breeze and the sea gently laps against the shore.
