The resort

About Malahini Kuda Bandos.

Malahini Kuda Bandos Resort occupies the small private island of Kuda Bandos in North Malé Atoll, positioned roughly 15 to 20 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport. The resort has 82 rooms across several categories, including Classic, Deluxe, Superior and Garden rooms set within tropical vegetation, along with Beach Villas measuring around 40 square metres that feature direct beach access, king-size beds and private outdoor rain showers. The property is configured around the island's beaches and reef rather than overwater architecture, and no swimming pool is available on site. Dining is split between the Maaga buffet restaurant and The Bluu, with the beachfront Bar 75 handling drinks. Guests have access to the Alizé Spa, a gym and a watersports centre with PADI diving facilities, plus non-motorised options such as kayaks, paddleboards and windsurfing. The island's house reef is a core part of the experience, and the resort positions itself as an accessible choice for travellers who want a short transfer rather than a seaplane flight. The small footprint and natural vegetation give the island a lower-density feel than larger resorts in the same atoll.
