We visited Bandos Maldives at the end of February and beginning of March 2026 and, despite a few teething problems when we first arrived, we had a fantastic holiday and came away with some wonderful memories. We arrived by speedboat at around 8.00 am and received a lovely welcome. We were told by Jenny that our room wouldn’t be ready until around 2.00 pm, which was a little disappointing after travelling, particularly as we discovered that we couldn’t have breakfast because our stay hadn’t officially started and the previous occupants of our room had not yet checked out. When we eventually received our room, 1350, we had one more small frustration when the keys didn’t work and we had to get that sorted. Thankfully, that was pretty much where the problems ended because from then on we had a fantastic experience. Bandos is a beautiful island and we quickly settled into the wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. It gave us exactly what we needed, the opportunity to slow down, switch off and properly rest. One of the highlights for us was snorkelling for the first time. Being able to get into the water and see the marine life for ourselves was an amazing experience. Seeing small sharks and stingrays swimming nearby is something we will definitely remember! The whole island had a lovely atmosphere and, as the holiday went on, those minor issues on our first morning became insignificant compared with everything we enjoyed afterwards. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed and very pleased that we had experienced Bandos and the Maldives. A fantastic holiday and some very special memories.

Everythngs were perfect! Facilities and room cleaness were perfect and dive bandos service is also top level. Japanese instructor Mr. Kaito was very helpful with high level skill set.

Our vacation on Bandos was wonderful and unforgettable! Our Premium Beach Villa was beautiful and we fell in love with it right away. However, there was frequent construction work taking place in the immediate vicinity, which was a bit disruptive, especially in the mornings. The underwater experience was also a real highlight: We had great dives with a professional crew. The entire hotel team was consistently very friendly and accommodating. Our very special thanks go to Uttar from the Gallery Buffet Restaurant. Whether at breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Uttar was always in a great mood, extremely attentive, and literally read our every wish right off our faces. His charming and warm demeanor made us feel completely at ease. An employee as dedicated as Uttar is an absolute asset to the hotel. A huge thank you to the entire team for helping to make this an unforgettable vacation—and a special thank you to Uttar.
