Malahini Kuda Bandos Resort

That's just wow! Worth every penny! We had amazing 8 days in paradise! We stayed in a regular garden room and it is good. Great shower, nice bed, more than enough space for two. Maybe willa is ok if you're ready to spend x2 on it, but come on! You're on the island in the ocean and there is so much things to do actually! It is better to spend more on the ocean adventures like snorkeling, diving, excursions, surf and so on. But if you have kids than yes, villa is a must. We had full board and it was amazing! I'd like to say huge thank you to all restaurant chefs, waiters and everyone who is involved in cooking, serving and cleaning. We've never had such breakfast - lunch - dinner experience. Meat, beef, fish, fruits, vegetables, national and international cuisine... Incredibly tasty and dozen of meals to choose from every day. Superb! Beach is clean and has a lot of different places where you can chill. Ocean life if awesome! Snorkeling close to the beach or near the deeper reef — you'll find a lot of fish to explore. Marine Hub and guys working there - true ocean gods! Take at least one adventure with them. We went snorkeling with stingrays and oh my! It was incredible! Safety measures, equipment, support - 10/10. Ocean life... I'm speechless. Never seen it before with my own eyes. Super! Great respect for every malahini marine hub person! People. Maybe this resort is not super luxury or exclusive, but listen, people who work here 🙏 they are one of a kind! They are making this resort the best place to be!!!! Marine hub guys, room service, tech stuff, kitchen, reception — I'd like to say thank you 1000000000 times! Our stay at malahini was perfect because of you! I wish you only best ❤️ you took our hearts and we're so happy about it! We're going to come back soon!

Some guests should be more polite and gentle. Smoking, using Bluetooth speaker on the public beach, screaming drunk in a bar during live music evening event .. come on, rent a villa and go wild there, don't ruin other people holidays. Maybe some politics should be applied for those situations.

Location is great near from airport and you will still have the isolated island vibes. Modern resort. Clean. Breakfast was good Nice sunset, nature on the garden also nice.

buffet was average. With cheap options for seafood, strange for an island in Maldives... Too many terms and conditions. Please treat the guests as guests not customers, they try to charge you for anything!

- Amazing sea life for snorkeling - Dinner food was good (the kitchen staff is welcoming) - The room was confortable - Sunset at the blu bar - Activities included: nautical, shows, stingray calling…

- No gym tough it was specified as available - Nautical activities staff were sometimes not nice. - They refused to give a glass of still water 5 minutes after checkout while waiting for the boat (we were all inclusive) - No cocktails available in the all inclusive offer. - Only nautical activities are available during the day. - breakfast food is mediocre

Small environment with relatively little number of rooms. The establishment is new and nicely decorated. Vegetation is beautiful and staff is very kind. Our sunrise villa with pool was absolutely the best room I’ve seen in Maldives. Prices are pretty expensive though. Worth it for 1-2 nights stay, after you will get bored as in most of the resorts.

Nice escape island but water there is not very clean; maybe because the sea was rough during our stay. Snorkelling is difficult as well as sunbathing in the sea bank: water is full of death coral reef and not many fishes are around there.

Welcome drink, wet towels on arrival, Food, excellent staff, location, comfy beds, free drinking water, view, para sailing, excellent service, white sand, pool, weather.

Insects, lizard in the toilet which I had to remove my self, lack of privacy in the private pool ( people walking past the villa could look inside), everything was too expensive ($5 for a glass of juice, tetra pack), sink was semi clogged, mosquitos. Transport charges $85/ person from the airport were too high for a 15min boat ride.

Everything was spot on. What you paid you get, everything else is very expensive.

Price of the transport from airport- speedboat was a rip off (we have travelled in maldives with speed boats, for hours and hours, and the prices didnt even reach the price of this speed boat for only 10-15min). 170 USD for two is simply to much for this trip, especially is no understanding in the time you are leaving the island - we were trown off 4h before our flight. Mosquitos- are all around.

Rooms are neat and clean. Design of the room, garden, pool are very good. Staff is fantastic.

Food quality, diversity is very poor for main restaurant which all inclusive package goes. Beaches are short as it’s a small island. Extras are expensive.

Villa with swimming pool was new and perfect! 5*! Deluxe room was clean and good organised and has perfect access to the beach. Food was perfect! Stuff is doing maximum of their possibilities, everything is going anyway to the positive note in the end! Eni, Vanessa, Zalil and Nikku did amazing job in the restaurant, but all stuff was very kind, in the blue bar all boys are excellent! That was trip with a big Family, 7 kids and we prepared for our kids some entertainment in the evenings and all stuff helped us with it ! in Spa girls are also doing perfect job, so that I was so relaxed that asleep twice by the massage 🤪. Cleaning team did some presents for the kids, and for the birthday of my sister, everyday they did a lot of work because of the kids and always perfect and fast, Farhad was really kind ! We were happy to stay there 12 days and everyday found something to do after dinner. Diving center has a lot of possibilities and also very kind stuff!

Small thing, there was building on the territory, but that was everything covered and not so noisy as we was imagined by the beginning.

We were a group of 7 people and our stay (for 3 nights - all inclusive package) was exactly what we had expected. The airport representative took care of all our baggage and the boat trip to the resort. From the check in to check out everything was a smooth process with the staff only willing to go the extra mile & assist at every requirement. After one night of karaoke, we wanted to change the movie night to karaoke night, and with requests put across, the team managed to change it to karaoke just for us. We had a blast. The food was excellent (variety every single day) with live grilled items - couldn't ask for anything more. The bars (Bar 75 and Bleue Bar) both were amazing with amazing staff. The location of Bleue Bar on the beach is just amazing. Becoz of the daily activities (karaoke, movie, game nights), at Malahini, all the guests sort of become one family!!. Shout out to Vanessa who after every meal made it a point to check if we were content, Kishore from Bar 75 who allowed us to play our own music, and team from Bleue Bar for their outstanding service.

Would be nice if the resort can have a common swimming pool as its not safe for all children to get into the ocean for a swim. Would be nice if some known liquor brands could be included in the All Inclusive package. And if there were more staff to assist with water activities rather than the guests doing it on their own. However do not allow these to bring down the rating of the resort which was truly remarkable.

We enjoyed our stay at Malahini Kuda Bandos especially the food aspect. They had a range of cuisines for every meal at Maaga restaurant and we did not have to eat the same food over and over again (Bonus points because the meals were very tasty). We also loved the customer service and attention to detail. Would definitely recommend this resort every time.

The Wi-Fi. It was actually not so great and we had to buy a local e-sim.
