Bandos resort was one of the first resort islands in the Maldives and enjoys a great location, only a 15 minute speedboat transfer from Male airport. It's a great choice for a night or two before or after your Liveaboard holiday, in the heart of Male Atoll. Bandos is an well loved resort with several room grades to suit all budgets. And within minutes of landing you can be docking at an island resort packed with facilities and amenities. While away the hours in the bright Maldivian sun - be it for a night or two or a full longer stay.
There are 220 rooms in total, all with air con, free wifi, mini bar, TV, safe, tea and coffee. The Standard Beachfront Rooms have a shower and veranda, whilst the Deluxe Beachfront Rooms are larger with a bath and living area. Due to their location and more recent renovation, we recommend the semi-detached Deluxe Beachfront Rooms as an affordable upgrade to the standard option. If you prefer to be close to the pool and Dive Centre, the Garden Villas are a great choice. The Superior Beach Villas are more private and a best suited to couples. They are modern and stylish with a king size bed on a mezzanine, separate living area and private Jacuzzi bathroom. For the ultimate Maldivian experience, opt for the Sunset Water Villa with pool. Your Villa sits right on the edge of the stunning blue waters with private sea access and sun deck. These are fresh, stylish with a 4 poster king bed and a jacuzzi bath overlooking the sea and living area.
Bandos offers a range of meal plans, from half board to all inclusive options, so don't forget to ask your travel consultant at the time of booking! There are 4 restaurants to chose from - the Sea Breeze cafe serves a wide ranges of snacks and meals 24 hours. The Gallery is the main buffet style restaurant. Try the Huvan or Umi Yaki restaurants in the evenings. There are 3 bars spread throughout the resort for refreshing drinks and cocktails. Peel yourself away from the white beeches and try your hand at tennis, windsurfing, wakeboards or canoes, work up a sweat in the ultra modern gym or spoil yourself at the Orchid spa. Baby sitting services are available but must be booked and paid for locally. Bandos is a relaxed home away from home for everyone!

The Maldives is a magical scuba diving destination with a well deserved reputation. This is the place to head for if you are looking for an sundrenched holiday with serious style. Diving in the Maldives is all about the fast drifts and massive rays that patrol the channels between each atoll spit. Be it manta, eagle ray or even grey reef sharks, there is big fish action a plenty, all easily located from the glistening white shores of Bandos resort. And with great schools of snapper, barracuda or goat fish, the reef diving is vibrant and always rewarding. Clownfish in their hundreds hide in multi coloured anemones while porcelain crabs filter food in the current. Simply overflowing with marine life everywhere you look, the diving around Bandos in North Male atoll will leave you breathless.
Dive Bandos depart each day for boat dives on one of their 4 custom built dhonis (traditional Maldivian boat). There are over 40 different sites to explore including the Victory Wreck Lion's Head or Lankan Manta Point. If you don't fancy a boat ride, no problem - why not head out for a shore dive on the house reef? Dive Bandos take your safety seriously at all times and the island boasts one of the Maldives' hyperbaric chambers on site. Underwater or above it, let Dive Bandos make your every moment in the Maldives a dream come true.
Dive Bandos pride themselves on being one of the premier dive centres in the Maldives.

The dive centre is located in the resort and has modern classrooms for all teaching activities as well as a highly trained professional dive team to assist you every step of the way.
