Bandos, a beautiful coral island located in North Malé' Atoll, about 7 kilometres 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 splendour 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”.
