A decent hotel and the suite we stayed in was lovely. Our issue really comes from the lack of available tours unless sufficient guests book in, but if not enough book you’re not able to book with another tour company without paying an extortionate docking fee.
The food at the buffet is average but the Italian restaurant was lovely.
The staff seem very confused with requests and say they’re not allowed to make decisions and yet there is never anyone around who can. Frustrating experience

Had a sunrise room, it was lovely though may put some people off who don't like insects in your bathroom as it is outside. Food was great, staff was lovely. House reef is really good, accessible from all sides. We saw reef sharks, eagle rays and devil rays on the house reef. Manta ray excursion is 30 min boat ride.
Very comfortable and pretty resort, in keeping with the island surroundings. Food was good and the staff were lovely and very flexible with my requests. Highly recommend
Great resort . Super friendly staff Mr Rakeeb and Ms Devi provided an exceptional service much appreciated. Memorable stay well done Malahini Kuda Bandos.
Very kind staff. Good breakfast. Nice beaches and sea. Tours are a bit expensive like in other hotels in Maldives. Foods are also expensive as other hotels, better to come as full board. Overall a good experience.
We have nothing to complain about! We had a wonderful time and the staff is incredible. We were treated so well and the place is truly a paradise—fantastic in every way! I’d like to mention some amazing people who made our stay special, especially the chef Riffath and Kritika from reception Thank you all for an unforgettable experience!

Great place to get away for a couple days. Really happy we paid to stay in a villa - it was unfortunately raining while we were here so the extra space was very appreciate.
All to nclusive is definitely the way to go. The buffet was awesome.
Would have been nice if there was a larger pool for all guests to use. The bubble tub on our patio was nice and probably never needs but it need it doing our rainy stay to be usable.

Nice resort, big, clean and very comfy rooms. Beach chairs are quite hard, it would be good if they had some cushions. Very convenient to travel from/to Male airport. Buffet food is nice but a bit bland, not much fish or local food. Very good vegetarian options. Beach is ok, water can get a bit murky at times and there are lots of rocks so beach shoes are recommended.
It was an amazing experience, the sunrise pool villa was just incredibly beutiful, also the dicoration for our honey moon. the stuff was super kind and the cleaned the the room twice a day. the hotel manager did fullfill all our wishes.
the buffet was variable and dilicious.
- the only thing that enoyed us was that there was just water, coffee and Tea included in the full meal. we expected to have at least soft drinks or juis but they were extra.
The resort was a dream.
We really liked the island, you could walk around it in 10 minutes.
We had the Sunrise Beach Pool Villa and it was really nice, especially the bathroom was an oasis.
The room was cleaned twice a day and the towels and bathrobes were changed, even the pool was checked and cleaned every day.
A few steps from our villa you could go snorkeling where you could also experience sharks up close.
We had an all-in stay, which I would recommend to everyone because otherwise it would be VERY expensive.
The food was fantastic, it really tasted very good (not the usual all-in that you experience in other countries), the chefs Dipak, Souray, Vishal, Amdadul and Rana put a lot of effort into fulfilling every wish and warmly every time Greeted and always had a good mood and a smile on their faces. The waiters were always very friendly and did a great job.
We really felt very comfortable and would come again.
Our stay at Malahini Kuda Bandos was truly unforgettable. As a welcome gift, we received a fruit-filled basket. The cleanliness of our room, the pool, and the jacuzzi were all perfect. The dining staff were very attentive, especially Leona, who always served us with a smile, and Sauran, who prepared fresh eggs for us every morning. We also want to thank Deepak, Jahangeer, Rana, and Vishal for their kind and meticulous service. The privacy of our room, the tranquility, and the peacefulness of the island gave us the most unforgettable memories. The natural beauty of the island is beyond words—white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters filled with vibrant coral, colorful fish, and sea turtles. It's truly a slice of paradise. Thank you so much for everything, Malahini Kuda Bandos!
The resort is 8 km by sea from Malè, 15 minutes by speedboat. In fact, standing on the beach and looking to the left from the island you can see Malè with its port, merchant ships and its skyline of skyscrapers, it is not a pretty sight and it is not such a remote atoll as it seems from the photos. There are motorboats at sea going to and from Malè to the other atolls, and planes heading for the other islands continually pass overhead. However, it is comfortable, the food is good, and the resort is clean even if a little old and the staff is friendly. On the island there are Carletto (little Charles), Giulietto (little Julius) and Franchino (little Frank), three roosters who crow day and night and night and day. It's like being in a chicken coop. the Resort is a 3 star not 4.
We stayed two weeks in Malahini Kuda Bandos in a Garden Room. The room was nice. The cleaning was ok also, but sometimes we had to ask from the reception for towels etc and the cleaning times were unpredictable. The island is small and closeness to Male is both a good thing (transfer times) and a bad thing (lots of trafic and the view to Hulhumale was not great). The sand on the island has shifted almost totally to the other side of the island where the main beach is located, so some of the pictures I had seen before weren't accurate anymore, but we actually enjoyed the small area near Bar75 more than the big beach. Also the bar was much better than the big bar on the main beach, where the drinks weren't good and service wasn't great either. But in Bar75 Harsha made great drinks and was very nice and provided excellent service. Food in main restaurant was great and the guys working behind the "Live food" counter were always nice and smiling, so were the waiters. We had half board and the drinks, especially a bottle of wine, was really expensive and I felt that the island was more expensive to for example Sun Island Villa Resort, where I've been many times. For the room we got a good deal from Expedia.
The weather wasn't great and it was very cloudy and windy almost all the time, so we didn't do any excursions and did very little snorkeling.
The best part of this resort, asides from the per beauty of the island is the people that work there. From Imthyaz, Vanesa, Eni, the Marine Hub Crew, they make you feel so welcomed and are so kind. This time, I also enjoyed the excursions, the food is amazing. I'll keep coming back to Malahini.

The beach was beautiful and the room was nice. The staff let you seek them out if you needed anything, which may have been intentional to allow quiet and privacy but we were expecting more of a luxury resort atmosphere. It was more of a secluded island get away.very hot and expensive.The staff was kind and helpful when we asked for anything.
This is an ideal island to spend a night or two but not a two week holiday , there is very little to do and the water is so shallow around the island it is hard to swim above the coral , there is also almost no available beach
Nice resort with good opportunities for snorkling and diving. There are many fish and reef sharks. Also opportunities for other watersports like supping, and waterscooters.
All-inclusive offers reasonable opportunities for food and drinks. Very friend staff.
