The guest experience

Loved most

  • Beautiful beaches / beach villa
  • Very friendly and attentive staff (VIP welcome)
  • Quick transfer / close to airport
  • Excellent food and varied buffet
  • Spacious, well-appointed villas (villa pool room outstanding)
  • Quiet, green and relaxing atmosphere

Worth knowing — Very small island — limited activities beyond 1–2 days · All-inclusive beverages limited; extra-cost branded drinks · Amenities issues (pool table/darts unavailable, little animation) · Outdoor bathroom issues (ants) and some exposure to weather · Poor lighting on pathways at night · Some guests noted old/worn furniture

How guests scored the stay

  • Service9.6

    Staff repeatedly described as fantastic, friendly and welcoming (VIP welcome mentioned); high praise for personnel throughout.

  • Location9.5

    Beautiful beaches and very convenient location (≈12 minutes by boat from the airport); ideal for a short, tranquil stay.

  • Room Quality9.2

    Villas and rooms described as spacious, well-appointed and outstanding (villa pool room highlighted); some notes about outside-bathroom issues and occasional ants.

  • Cleanliness9.0

    Rooms cleaned regularly, sand removed and fresh towels provided; overall cleanliness praised in multiple reviews.

  • Food and Beverage9.0

    Food widely praised (excellent buffet, tasty variety, live cooking stations, credit to chefs); drinks and snack timing/selection underwhelming for standard all-inclusive expectations.

  • Overall Experience9.0

    Generally very positive — tranquil, green island with friendly staff and excellent food; limitations are small size, weather-dependent activities and some beverage/value issues.

  • Amenities7.3

    Limited on-island activities (few entertainment options, pool table/darts issues, fitness available); blue bar lacks animation — suitable for quiet stays but not activity-focused guests.

  • Value for Money7.0

    Concerns about all-inclusive tiers and extra cost for branded drinks; guests expected more included beverages which reduced perceived value for some.

    “Every thing from the moment we arrived was just perfect. The food, the staff all super friendly and helpful and our beautiful room with a pool. It was paradise.The sunsets were spectacular. We would like to say a huge thanks to all the staff especially, our room attendant Musa who was so kind and did the most amazing art on our bed. To Shiela, Vanessa, Swati and Subha who looked after us at the restaurant. Also to Islam at the bar who was alway happy to serve us and chat. We would love to go back!!”

    “Amazing resort only a short speedboat ride away from Male airport. The staff were super friendly and exceeded our expectations on a daily basis. Beautiful rooms with amazing views. The food was excellent we opted for a half board package. The room had everything we needed including a regular supply of water initially 2liters per day however after speaking to the staff we were given 2 extra bottles daily too. The restaurant staff were very sufficient and catered to our every need, including a special request of food that we wanted to try even though they weren't going to make it that day. Everyone was extremely polite and friendly and never did we hear the word no! Would very much recommend this place for any type of holiday. Would highly advice to atleast go half board when booking.”

  • Perfect stay. We loved it

    “We had a wonderful stay at Malahini Kuda Bandos. The location is absolutely beautiful, with crystal-clear water, a gorgeous beach and amazing views everywhere you look. The resort is peaceful, clean and perfect for relaxing. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. A special thank you to Axadh, who was especially kind and made our experience even more enjoyable. We truly appreciated his hospitality and all the help he provided during our stay. The food was also good, with a nice variety of options.”
