Overview

A small, green island in North Malé Atoll, 12 to 15 minutes from Malé by speedboat, with simple rooms, beach pool villas and a treehouse table.

Malahini Kuda Bandos is a small boutique island in North Malé Atoll, 12 to 15 minutes from Malé by speedboat, which makes it one of the quickest resorts to reach and an easy choice for a short stay or a first or last night. The island is ringed by white sand and a turquoise lagoon, there's snorkelling, diving and free non-motorised water sports (paddleboards, canoes and windsurfing), and every meal plan is on offer, from breakfast to All Inclusive Gold.

The rooms are simple: Garden Rooms (22 to 24 m²) among banana trees and ferns, Deluxe Rooms (27 m²) along the shore with partial ocean views, and Superior Rooms (18 m²) above them. The Sunrise Beach Pool Villas (100 m²) have a private pool, a Jacuzzi, a bathtub and indoor and outdoor rain showers, and the Sunset Beach Pool Suites (200 to 250 m²) add a cabana and an outdoor Jacuzzi. Two- and three-bedroom versions of the Sunrise villa sleep up to eight and ten.

Maaga is the main restaurant, by the water, with buffets and a themed dinner every night. The Bluu serves all day on the beach or inside, with a children's menu, Kuredhi does Italian food and wood-fired pizza on the beach, and Bar 75 is the beach bar. Thari is a treehouse table 17 feet up for private meals, there are dinners on the beach and floating breakfasts in the pool villas, and the Alizé Spa has three treatment rooms.

Good to know

This profile comes from travel agencies, because the resort has no working website of its own. The rooms are small and simple, and the agencies disagree on some room sizes; the price is only maldives.com's 'starting from' range, so treat it as a rough guide.
