Bandos Maldives

Отличный остров с прекрасным пляжем и классным рифом. Еда и алкоголь нормальные, не восторг, но и голодными не были.

Забронировали Супериор виллу, но это не отдельностоящая вилла, это блок из 4 номеров. К сожалению, данная информация нигде не была указана. Расстроились, тк можно было забронировать обычную виллу дешевле и без соседей. Из плюсов- номер был новым и чистым.

Gute, ruhige Lage

Sauber

Wahnsinnig sxhön und natürlich. Traumhaftes Hausriff, traumhaftes Essen

Dass wir nach 9 Tagen wieder abgereist sind

I really would like to thank the Bandos diving team! they where really amazing! And a really big shout out for the amazing and perfect Semul for the dinners and service!

We absolutely loved our stay at Bandos Maldives. The beautiful island, crystal-clear water, stunning beaches, and peaceful atmosphere made it a perfect getaway. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything was well maintained. The location was also excellent, with amazing views and plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the surrounding

There wasn’t much we disliked. Some facilities and services were a little expensive, but overall the experience was excellent and worth it.

Beautiful place, easily accessible via speed boat which was helpful with our toddler. Really wonderful service. Best was the house reef which allowed us to snorkel a lot considering our baby and only one parent could go at a time. Their baby crèche was excellent as well

Could have been a little more eco conscious Also advise us to get a baby stroller as the property is large and we had considerable walking to do

the staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the whole stay was relaxing and enjoyable. The beautiful surroundings and atmosphere made the experience even better.

The only thing I would suggest improving is the food selection. It would be great to have a wider variety of choices, especially over a longer stay.

Our 3rd trip to Bandos, and we just keep coming back! We’ve stayed at other resorts across the Maldives, but Bandos honestly feels like home to us now. It’s got such an easygoing, cozy vibe, and it feels like they manage to level up their service every single year. Our stay in August 2026 was just perfect across the board. The rooms are all set in great spots, the food is top-notch, and the whole team makes you feel like family. Big shoutouts to: The Gallery Restaurant crew: Incredible food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day. The Dive Centre: Especially Mohamed Amar - thank you so much for the lessons and for genuinely getting us hooked on the underwater world! The fishing boat captain & crew: Such a fun trip, and a lady in our group even managed to reel in a shark (which went straight back into the ocean, of course). The little things: Housekeeping coming by twice a day, fresh water restocked daily, and a great AC gym to work off the buffet meals. Can’t wait to be back again. Huge thanks to everyone at Bandos for another unforgettable holiday!

Just one tiny note for improvement: it would be great to have clearer signs for designated smoking areas around the bins so all guests are on the same page. A few people were smoking on the beach and leaving cigarette butts right in the sand, which was really sad to see in such a pristine, beautiful place.

The beaches, the weather and the villas were perfect, the staff were very nice, the whole place was calm and relaxing, the taste of the foods were very good

The meals didn’t include soft drinks, for a single coke you had to pay 6$, the variety of the foods and the options could have been better.

Right on the beach beautiful place

Would be nice to have a little mini shop for cans of drink crisps etc

Beach, kitchen and services. Especially, the resturant and it's facilities at Sunset platform. The waiter "Ibrahim" served us three days when we went there to see the sunset and provided us excellent service. For breakfast, lunch and dinner shef "Khorsed" and waiter "Semul" are excellent and looked after us more than we expected.

Lack of shops to buy food and goods

Perfect stay, we loved the beach and breakfast and dinner evening. Staffs are very professional and helpful. Really recommend for it's hospitality.

Everything

Nothing

Very beautiful, clean and calm island resort.

Delisious food, ecofrindly and sustainable approches in resorts architecture. Efficient waste management. Clean beaches.

The rooms and the entire resort were very clean, and the staff were genuinely kind, friendly and professional. Everyone we met was always welcoming and happy to help. The buffet restaurant offered a very good and varied selection of food, with good quality overall and also a decent wine selection. The house reef is beautiful and very easy to reach directly from the beach. Without booking any excursions, we were able to see an impressive variety of marine life on our own, including turtles, sharks, rays and many different species of fish.

We understand that resorts in the Maldives generally have high prices, but in our opinion Bandos is particularly expensive considering how close it is to Malé, with the resulting light pollution and the city / many boats clearly visible on the horizon. Almost everything comes at an additional cost. For example, we simply asked to use two pairs of fins for one afternoon and were charged around USD 20 to rent rather old equipment. Airport transfers also felt excessively expensive. The journey takes only around 15–20 minutes, yet the shared boat costs more than USD 50 per person each way, and there can still be a considerable waiting time before departure. One point that particularly disappointed us happened before arriving at Bandos. We were staying on another island and asked the resort for a quotation for a direct transfer to Bandos. The price quoted was USD 540. We eventually arranged a reliable local transfer ourselves for around USD 60. Of course, a resort is entitled to set its own prices and make a reasonable margin, but such a significant difference inevitably leaves the guest feeling uncomfortable and somewhat taken advantage of. That said, we had a very enjoyable stay overall and would definitely consider returning. It is a beautiful resort with excellent staff and a fantastic house reef — just be prepared for the high additional costs.

El buen gusto y cercanía a la playa

El buffet es monótono y poco variado

The Villa was beautiful and the beach was great.

All inclusive drinks are not the best. Lots of things are not included. All inclusive buffet for a week was a bit the same

The resort’s short distance from the airport is a major advantage, and the transfer was comfortable. The staff member who assisted us at reception was very attentive, informative, and helpful. The food was good and offered a satisfying variety. The staff at Huvan Café were excellent, especially in terms of attentiveness, speed, and helpfulness. The spa was wonderful, and both the sea and the beach were beautiful. The diverse mix of guests created an enjoyable atmosphere. We travelled with children, and they enjoyed the resort as well.

After leaving the terminal, waiting for the speedboat for around 15 minutes in a hot area was uncomfortable. In the restaurant, guests paying separately for drinks sometimes seemed to receive faster service than all-inclusive guests. The communication and service at Seabreeze Café were also disappointing. The range of activities could be expanded, and the games and sports area should be air-conditioned, as it becomes very hot and humid.

Location - close to Male, short boat trip less than 10 min, transfer well organized. Accomodation - stayed at beach villa, two floors facility, clean, light, comfortable, amazing shower area. Villa just one step to the beach, short walk to the Gallery restaraunt (main meal spot). Isand is green, nice walk around it, clean beaches with access to home reef! Huvan restaraunt - best sunset spots, next to it nice snorkeling spot. Staff: all receptionist friendly, helpful. Kitchen staff - same: careful, friendly. Huvan restaraunt - thanks to Ibrahim for booking best sunset watch table and organizing Bday dinner, Gallery restaraunt - thanks Guru for wine choices and friendliness.

From beach villas you see Male at the horizon, however from other sides of island clean horizon or other islands.

Everything was excellent. We had a lovely time.

Can't think of anything.

Природа

Пришлось заново оплачивать на месте, хотя мы заранее оплатили через приложение букинг

Genel olarak sorunsuz bir tatildi. Ulaşımda hiçbir sıkıntı yaşamadık. Tesiste güler yüzlü ve yardım sever karşılandık. Uçak iniş ve kalkış takibimiz otel tarafından yapıldı. Odaya erken erişim için yardımcı oldular. Kesinlikle her şey dahil olarak tercih edilmeli. Diğer seçenekler otel içi fiyatlardan dolayı daha pahalıya gelebilir.

Oteldeki yemeklerin hepsi helal fakat genel olarak çok baharatlıydı.

There were ample facilities available to explore. We had a great time celebrating our daughter's first birthday. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Thank you for making our stay wonderful. Special mention to Niyaz who put in extra efforts whenever we went for dining with our little one. Hopefully this review reaches him.

Not much actually. Just that there was some confusion during checkout as we had requested a 30 mins extension. But anyways this just shows the resort is very punctual and takes into account the deadlines :-)

Bandos Maldives is not just a beautiful resort - it is a place you simply don’t want to leave. From the very first moments, we fell in love with the beautiful green island, white sand, turquoise water and the incredible atmosphere of the real Maldives. But what touched us most were the people. The staff are genuinely kind, attentive and always ready to help. You truly feel welcome here❤️ And a very special thank you goes to Huvan Restaurant! A beautiful restaurant right over the water, with an unforgettable view of the ocean and the sunset. Every evening there was a little celebration - delicious food, beautiful sunsets, the sound of the ocean and, most importantly, wonderful people. The entire Huvan team deserves a huge thank you for their warmth, smiles and amazing service. You made our evenings truly special! And we absolutely have to mention the cocktails🍸 They were fantastic, especially the Cosmopolitan! A special thank you to Shubham, the bartender, for the delicious cocktails, his wonderful attitude and for making every evening at Huvan even more enjoyable❤️ The house reef is another highlight of Bandos🐠 Just step into the water from the beach and you are immediately surrounded by colourful fish, corals and even sharks. It is simply magical. Bandos has something that is difficult to describe - it has a soul. It never feels like a soulless five-star resort. It feels warm, welcoming and truly Maldivian. We came here for a holiday and left with one thought: we want to come back. Thank you, Bandos Maldives, for the beautiful memories, the ocean, the sunsets, the wonderful people and all those little moments of happiness🌴💙 Bandos will always have a special place in our hearts — and Huvan will be one of the warmest memories of our stay❤️

все выше всяких похвал, хороший стандартный номер близко от песчаного пляжа, персонал всегда поможет с вопросами, хорошее питание и обустройство острова. однозначно стоит приехать. риф лучше и живее всего у стандартных вилл

Sopra le aspettative:abbiamo soggiornato in una beach villa (che non e’ vista mare!!!) e successivamente in una water villa, dopo averla vista dentro non ho resistito. Entrambe le camere erano moderne (rifatte un paio d’anni fa), il resort nel complesso impeccabile per la pulizia e la cura. Cucina ottima. Personale gentile e disponibile.

Niente

It’s amazing resort, its meet all preferences for family, group of friends, kids and couples, its has all sports activities like football, volleyball, tennis and gym, amazing swimming pool. Restaurants. It’s so close to male airport just 13 minutes by speed boat. Amazing welcome from Mrs. Genie she was very professional receptionist employee.

Nothing.

Cleanness, staff, distance to airport and the speedboat availability, facilities

Limited variety of Middle Eastern food

Konum ve doğası harikaydı

Temizlik istediğimiz gibi değildi.

Ada çok güzel bir konumdaydı. Her yer çok temizdi çalışanlar çok nazik ve ilgili. Yemeklerde güzeldi. Denize de bayıldık.

Sadece tatlı konusu çok zayıftı. Daha çeşitli ve iyi tatlılar olabilir

Beautiful clean and brilliant location

The buffet food let it down however the restaurants you pay for the food was amazing

الشاطئ جميل جدا الانشطه عائليه

المطاعم قليله احسبو حساب شنطه مخصصه للسناكات و الاكل البسيط او يكون الحجز يشمل الثلاث وجبات

Wszytko bardzo mily stuff pracujacy na miejscu)

Nue ma do czego sie trzepiac!

Wat een prachtig resort. Alles tot in de puntjes verzorgd. Je kunt overal de rust vinden.

Het gevoel van “alleen op de wereld” heb je hier niet. Je ziet het hoofdeiland liggen en er zijn best veel huisjes op het eiland. Het is overigens niet massaal.

Wszystko było super obsługa znakomita Polecam😁

Nie ma się do czego przyczepić

Heel net, vriendelijk, behulpzaam , leuk huisje

Isola perfetta per famiglie, pulita, con personale gentile, senza corse ai lettini, senza code ai pasti. Cibo non molto vario ma buono, poca frutta. Diving efficiente con immersioni belle. Siamo stati bene. Ovviamente non è l’isoletta negli atolli più all’interno, con mare che discende lentamente e colori e pesci a riva inerenti, ma questo lo si sa già prima di partire. Si vede La costa di Male. Il bar che fa musica la sera fa piacere.

Tutto bene.

Super imødekommende personale alle steder. God dykkertur - så dog ikke Manta Rays på Manta Ray dive site pga. en uerfaren guide, men alt andet spillede. Vi fik en gratis opgradering, så familien kunne være tættere sammen. Særligt Aboobakuru på restauranten var meget nærværende og serviceminded.

Priserne er høje, men det er naturligt med logistikken.

Minden szuper volt

Location 15 mins from the airport Water sport activities

No air conditioned areas One pool only during a full occupied season Staff at gallery restaurant were very rude and disrespectful

We had an amazing stay at Bandos Maldives and truly enjoyed every moment. The island is beautiful, spacious, very clean, and well-maintained. The beaches are absolutely breathtaking, with crystal-clear water and soft white sand. A special thank you to the hotel for upgrading our room – it made our stay even more special. The room was wonderful, and we really appreciated this thoughtful gesture. The food was another highlight. There was a great variety every day, and everything was fresh and delicious. The only small issue we experienced was on our last day, when we noticed that the butter had mold on it. Fortunately, this was the only negative moment during our entire stay. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend Bandos Maldives to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable vacation. Thank you to the entire team for your hospitality!

One of the highlights of our stay was the excellent service. We would especially like to thank Sultan from Kazakhstan. He is a very friendly, kind, and professional young man who made us feel truly welcome. He was always happy to help, answered all of our questions, and gave us useful information about the island. His positive attitude and willingness to assist made our vacation even more enjoyable. A special thank you to Sultan for his outstanding hospitality – we truly appreciate everything he did for us!

Closer to the airport New superior villas are good Clubhouse, marine activities

Value for money limited and basic choice of alcohol for all inclusive package Old rooms needs refurbishment

Very relaxing place

Shuttle boat is a bit expensive.

Great location and fab staff

Our rooms was a bit outdated but think that’s why price was super reasonable

Perfect location, 15 min on speed boat from airport. Island is a paradise, clean rooms, domestic coral reef with options to swim close to beach with a kid or go further to the edge of the reef for more experienced swimmers. Take swim shoes to enjoy the sea not only at the main beach but anywhere around the island. Food is very good. Staff is friendly. Abdullah and lady welcoming at the entrance to the Gallery restaurant were super. My golden ring disappeared on departure day and reception were very helpful to find it and send to the airport before I left.

Cleaning guy in my room was strange and annoying. Too many russian tourists. They are loud and throwing garbage and cigarettes anywhere.

Good to stay

The rooms far from the reception

Na

Rent och städat. Lättillgängligt från flygplatsen. Nära till bad.

Finns inget att säga.

Отель просто чудесный! Зелёный, красивый, ухоженный, уютный. Нам достались самые лучшие номера по расположению. Рядом шикарный пляж и море! Просторные номера, чистота, уборка два раза в день. Воды ставят очень много, вполне хватает. Шведский стол отличный! А самое главное — персонал отеля! Чувствуется как о тебе заботятся, от встречи в аэропорту и до проводов! Ехать от аэропорта 10 минут на катере. Мы праздновали годовщину свадьбы и юбилей. Отель поздравил вкусным тортиком и очень красиво украсили стол. На ресепшене есть русскоговорящий сотрудник, очень помог нам с трансфером в другой отель. Позвонил в отель и уточнил все детали . Вся команда отеля работает слаженно и чётко 👌 мечтаем вернуться! Спасибо за отдых!

I servizi la possibilità di fare sport e la cura dell’isola

I palazzi di Malè che si vedono in lontananza e gli scogli artificiali intorno a gran parte dell’isola

Everything about Bandos was awesome, the room, location, food and the staff.

Nothing

Our patio was perfect and only 50m from the sea. we snorkeled every day and had 12 dives in the nearby dive center. All the staff were friendly and accommodated our slightest wish so me and my dive buddy were well satisfied with the whole experience. The restaurant selection on Bandos made eating out in the evening a special occasion each and every time.

The natural beauty, of course the food, and the service

When it rains & blows wind, it's very tough to explore the resort because difficult to walk because of sand mixed water

Everything was amazing, but the sunset restaurant was my favorite spot!

Maybe it just needs a little more music around the installations it can be a little boring sometimes

10min boat trip from airport. Food was really good. Many Options to choose from across beaches and pool. Great snorkeling by dive center. Serving staff were amazing. The spa was amazing.

We tried to book for excursions but were told we can’t go unless min 6 people join which was never stipulated upfront. We would have loved to have gone snorkeling with turtles, nurse sharks etc but were denied because it was just myself and my husband. So unless you are traveling with a group - you probably won’t be allowed to go on excursions. One or 2 members of staff behind desks were quite rude. Quite a few things are excluded from AI package and you end up having to pay (coconut water or freshly squeezed juice for example). A lot of things were not communicated upfront, and if they were, the would be different by the time you addressed them.

The place was very nice and well structured. The kids club had nice interactive activities for the kids and tbe staff were very nice.

The gallary resturant in the weekend seems to be busier than in the other days making it a bit noiser than other days espicially for dinner.

Beautiful location, very spacious rooms. People there are very friendly. We enjoyed our stay there extremely.

While arranging our visit, they were a bit pushy with asking for the time and mode of arrival to the island. Also, the transport to the island they offered was a bit expensive and they did false advertise a discount for the boat transfer.

First of all, I really liked the staff, especially the waiter, Fazeel, who was with us throughout our entire stay and showed an incredible level of service to me with wife. I would also like to mention the waiters by name - Harish and Ibrahim, who also helped us a lot in enjoying a wonderful holiday at this hotel. I really loved the hotel's location and its beautiful lagoons with amazing fauna. The hotel itself is very lively, with constant activity, so it's impossible to get bored. You can always go to different bars during the day, and the opening hours of these bars are very logically detailed, so you can walk around and also visit the different beaches of this island. They have a great sports area, you can play table tennis, tennis, badminton, squash, and also work out in the gym. Overall, my wife and I were very pleased with this vacation. The only thing is, according to my subjective assessment, I would diversify my lunch and dinner a little with more seafood than meat, since with such humidity I would like to eat more quickly digestible food.

Havalimanina yakinligi ve olanaklari

Odamda rutubet kokusu vardi cam olmadigi icin havalandiramadim.

Amazing resort, amazing food, amazing system, amazing sea and reef and marine life. Swimming with sharks and all types of fish everyday. Proper maldives vacation

Some prices of drinks etc were abit high but I don't have much to say about anything I disliked.

The overall feel of the entire resort, the hospitality and cleanliness. The atmosphere and beauty was outstanding.
