We stayed at laid back Bandos in May. We had the cool polynesian style thatch roofed two storied room facing the narrow beach. There's plenty to do here even during monsoon time with a big gym area, video room, pools, indoor badminton and squash courts or even watersports or diving. The food buffet is excellent, especially if you want to... More

We traveled to Bandos during the easter holidays 2013 for 10 nights. This was our 5th visit to Bandos (we have also visited Kurumba and the Sun Island, Bandos is still our favourite). As usual we were delighted with the holiday. We always go B & B, which gives us the freedom to eat in the Sea Breeze and Sundowners,... More

The Maldives is a stunning place, no one can deny that. Bandos has some stunning beaches and views but unfortunately just lacks what other Maldive Islands offer. The food is decent but served in a restaurant with the ambiance of a work canteen, also 2 out of the 3 nights we were there we were left walking around looking for... More

The reason we choose this island again was for the house reef and it did not disappoint, we had the opportunity to experience Ray's, Turtles and Sharks... More

The island is a paradise! IT has the whitest beach sand that i have Ever seen and the water is great! Ideal for someone who wants a nice vacation with peace and quiet! The prices in the various bars are a bitt expensive for food and drinks!

We found this resort perfect. We were welcomed by friendly staff who gave us an option of a few rooms to chose from as it was not the busy season. We stayed in a beach front spa pool villa and it was great. Our room was a bit dark but we were hardly in it!! Our villa was 124 but... More

I just needed to get away from it all for a week and this beautiful resort got my mind off of everything! I took an overnight flight from Doha and was directed as I exited the baggage claim immediately to the Bandos Island Resort counter. They promptly escorted me to the harbor directly outside the terminal where they showed me... More

On our arrival we met the staff (forgot his name) who is welcoming the guests in the port and one 7-seater buggy is waiting to transfer the guests. I told to the staff that we have a reservation in your resort and of course expecting that he would take us to reception but instead he said that we have to... More

I travelled to Bandos maldives 2 years ago. A great island for a short 4 day getaway to this gorgeous resort, after my trip to sri lanka. The beaches are beautiful, with perfect white sand, sea is crystal clear and teaming with life. We saw sharks, stingray, eels, and hundreds of colourful fish. As a free-diver was an unforgettable time.... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Not wishing to rest on the laurels of our existing achievements, Bandos had in the past year undertaken a major refurbishment project with the intention of transforming ourselves into a hotel that is truly reflective of the times. Careful consideration however, was given at all times to ensure that the old-world refinement for which the island has a reputation remained uncompromised. Under the project, major facelifts have been given to the front desk, lobby areas, shops, restaurants and bars and have furthermore commissioned a new swimming pool and additional accommodation facilities all of which perfectly blend with the island’s tropical splendour and give visitors a taste of the Maldivian aesthetic. ... more   less
