Bandos Island Resort & spa
FULL NAME: BANDOS ISLAND RESORT & SPA
Bandos, a beautiful coral island located in North Malé'
Atoll, about 7 kilometers from Malé International Airport
and the capital Malé, is covered with lush tropical
vegetation, numerous palm trees, surrounded by a wide sandy
beach and the crystal clear waters of an azure lagoon.
Opened in 1972 the island owns one of the best house reefs,
just 40 - 60 meters away from the beach. The natural
splendor is complemented by the modern amenities of the
resort, which ensure that your stay is both comfortable and
memorable.
A major reconstruction project successfully completed in
2005 has brought a trendy new look to Bandos. Front desk,
lobby areas, shops, all the restaurants, bars, and a new
swimming pool have been rebuilt with the state of the art
architectural designs blending perfectly with the tropical
surrounding and maintaining the “local feel”.
