Bandos Island Resort 4*

The incomparably beautiful Island of Bandos is situated north of Male, about 8kms from the airport. Travel time by speed boat is approximtely 20 minutes. The sense of calm and serenity the island emanates is truly out of this world. The gentle lull of the sea, the whistling breeze, and the rustling of the palm fronds on the beach will help transcend you from the hurly-burly rigours of daily life.

This aural feast, complimented by an all colourful visual one, where the turquoise of the lagoon, the lush green vegetation, the pearl white beaches, azure blue sky and generous offerings of golden sunshine inspires in us the question, did heaven and earth meet?

Restaurant

The Harbour
The Stylish Harbour Restaurant is a unique outlet which features contemporary Asian fusion cuisine. The vibrant flavour of the authentic dishes is inspired from Sri Lankan and Indian cultures.

Sand Bar

As a classic island-beach bar, the Sand Bar's modern facilities blend well with the tropical atmosphere. The sand floor and island ambience of the bar is ideal for customers to enjoy one of our many tropical cocktails or any other beverage that suits their fancy.

Gallery Restaurant

The Gallery, consisting of three spacious pods, is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and is the main restaurant at Bandos. It usually has elaborate buffet setups during mealtimes and although open to all guests, the Gallery specializes in catering to those who have pre-booked their meals.

Sea Breeze Cafe

The  recently commissioned Sea Breeze Café is situated at the edge of the water where customers can lounge on the large outdoor over-water deck and enjoy the breathtaking view of the lagoon while relaxing in the gentle breeze.

Sun Downers Bar

Situated near our world class diving facility, the Sundowners Bar is so named because it is the best place to watch breathtaking Maldivian sunsets. The enormous sundeck allows you to watch the beautiful stars in the night or the blueness of the sky in the day and makes you unwind and relax. Soft music fills the air in the evening while you watch glorious sunsets.

Pool Bar

Stop by our swim up pool bar while on your refreshing swim in our main pool. In the midst of the beautiful surroundings of palm trees and blossoms with their lush fragrance, a chilled drink is all you need to bring out the sunny spirit within you. Relax under the shade and feel the bubbles of its Jacuzzi stools with your loved ones.
