Bandos Island is a coral island in the North Male Atoll of the Maldives and boasts one of the best house reefs just 40-60 metres from the beach. The resort features fantastic modern amenities and design that blends perfectly with the tropical surroundings. The elegantly appointed accommodation on the island ranges from Standard Rooms to Water Villas, with each offering a wide range of modern amenities. Beach Fronted Deluxe Rooms are ideal for families as they offer spacious living/sitting areas, whilst the Garden Villas are best for couples as they are located in the middle of the island overlooking the landscaped gardens and feature private patios and four poster beds. The Water Villas are newly constructed and sit on stilts over the lagoon. They also boast a private Jacuzzi, four poster beds and wonderful ocean views from the living area. Featuring a state-of-the-art sports complex which includes aerobics classes, squash, badminton, tennis and volleyball, the resort also offers a water sports centre, PADI dive centre and diving courses, a full service spa consisting of private villas and cabanas and a variety of local excursions. Five restaurants and bars include a fine dining restaurant serving international cuisine, a waterside café and a tropical bar with a sand floor.

This island and resort has something for everyone but is particularly suited to families, one of the few in the Maldives. If looking for a contemporary resort with a metropolitan atmosphere, Bandos will be ideal.
