Bandos Beach Escape

Cruise to a spectacularly scenic atoll and spend time relaxing at Bandos Maldives, a pioneering resort that has only gotten better since opening in 1972. The trip over will be just as pleasurable as your time at the resort, as you will travel there on board a dhoni. Fishermen have used these traditional, curved-bow wooden boats for centuries and they have become one of the preferred means of transportation between islands. Upon arriving at the resort—which covers the entire island—you will be free to spend hours relaxing on the beach and swimming in the turquoise lagoon that surrounds the atoll. Few settings are quite so tranquil and naturally beautiful. You might stretch out on the sand and bask in the sun, take a refreshing swim in the ocean and stroll the beach that rims the whole island. Snorkeling is also available and there is plenty to view on the reefs just offshore due the water’s clarity.

HIGHLIGHTS
• Cruise to the Bandos Maldives island resort in a traditional wooden dhohi boat.
