Bandos Maldives is set on a coral island in the Indian Ocean surrounded by a white sand beach, blue seas and exotic vegetation.
The resort opened in 1972 and offers divers the chance to swim with turtles, reef fish and macro life. Look out for mantas forming their rare feeding formation at Manta Point between May and October.
Thatched roof villas are tucked amongst the greenery, dotted along the waterfront or hover over the clear blue lagoon. Each air-conditioned space comes with a WiFi, a flat screen TV, king sized bed, safe and tea/coffee making facilities. Complimentary drinking water is refilled daily.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served at the open-sided buffet restaurant. 4 eateries offer authentic Thai cuisine, local dishes and western favourites in a pool side, over-water or beach bar environment. Enjoy tropical cocktails as you watch the sun set over the rippling waves.
Get involved in night fishing, sunset dolphin cruises, snorkelling trips or island hopping. Tours of Male and glass bottom boat trips are available. The Orchid Spa provides a full menu of Asian inspired healing therapies.
The resort runs weekly live band, karaoke and disco evenings.
