Malahini is perfect for a getaway to reconnect with its beautiful jungle-like nature. The rooms are comfortable, clean and due to the island’s size closeby all the main facilities. The buffet shows variety and the hostess is smily and attentive. The main bar Bluu is modern in pop-up style and perfect to watch the gorgeous sunsets. Price and value match and highly recommend for a short and relaxing vacation! A big thank you again to the entire team of Malahini, especially to Malsha from Reservations who did an absolutely amazing job in helping us with pre-arrival arrangements, to our room boy who was always flexible and helpful as well as to receptionist Mohamed who found the perfect balance between friendliness and professionalism. Keep it up and see you again one day ☀️

After the initial not very happy start on this island, I have to respectfully praise the hotel's response to our initial complaints - the hotel management immediately tried to help us improve our vacation and I have to admit that they really tried and did their best to make us satisfied. Because of the very noisy neighbors, they offered us another villa in our category - the Sunrise pool villas are all very nice, but these above the sea have really beautiful terraces with a great view of the sea. Even if it doesn't have direct access to the sea, it doesn't matter. Thank you for the great approach to Mr. Hassan Nifsal, who is very accommodating, willing and fully helpful. Also, the chef Mr. Mohamed is a nice guy, he has no problem fulfilling the wishes of the guests. The hotel offered us additional services, which we greatly appreciate. It is clear to us that it is impossible to compare a large island with a small one (which we unfortunately did in the beginning), but within the island they really try to accommodate us in everything and that is really pleasant and very professional. We read excellent reviews and bad ones too...we also wrote a bad review at the beginning, but after 24 hours. we decided to delete it, because their attitude and services have really changed. The accommodation is wonderful, the food is not enormous, but is tasty and sufficient. Thank you.…

We stayed at Malahini for 3 nights after doing island hopping in the Maldives and I have to say it were amazing 4 days. The first night was in a garden room on the 1st floor. I was very impressed with the size and cleanliness of it. Our double bed was big and very comfy and our daughter really liked her sofa bed. It was a very good night‘s sleep. On the following day we‘ve changed to a sunrise beach pool villa - it went very smoothly and stress-free. The sunrise villa exceeded my expectations… paradise on earth! The outdoor bathroom was amazing, main room huge and airy, but the highlight was our private terrace with swimming pool and jacuzzi. We went for the all inclusive option ( 3 meals a day and afternoon tea, most soft drinks and some alcoholic drinks included in the price). Food was amazing and waiting staff very polite (big thank you, Eni!). We‘ve had some great chat with Sravan at Bluu. Mona from Bar 75 was very kind and helpful. And big thank you goes also to Shanhy for his managing skills and simply being a kind person. Our flight back home was in the evening, but we were able to stay 5 hours longer in the villa (it is always a subject to availability and has an extra cost). That was the best news for us, we‘ve enjoyed our amazing holidays until last minute. Great reception staff and fantastic holidays! …

The Maldives is probably one of the most beautiful destinations on earth to travel to. That is precisely why I went looking for the most beautiful island with the most luxurious and special accommodation. And that's how I ended up with Malahini Kuda Bandos. A beautiful small island with literally only 1 resort. From Malé Airport it is only a short 15 minute boat ride. We stayed in the Sunrise Beach Pool Villa. With a beautiful swimming pool and jacuzzi you look out over the beach. There's an awful lot privacy and here you really have the time to completely escape and relax. Our room was always very cleaned by the friendly and attentive Saamy. Thank you! The island is truly a paradise. Bright blue sea, white sand, beautiful flowers and plants and very well maintained. Everything is clean and looks nice. You can do everything: diving, snorkeling, kayaking, relaxing and there are phenomenal dining options. During this holiday I wanted to propose to my girlfriend Melissa and I looked at all the possibilities with our regular contact: Imthiyaz. In addition, I was very well advised and he succeeded in having the proposal take place in a short period of time. I thank a lot of people here but Imthiyaz a very special shout out and thank you to you: you made out proposal most beautiful. You could really notice that people wanted to contribute so much to make a special moment such as an engagement truly unforgettable. So many people on this island put so much thought into the proposal and the dinner afterwards. The people here are all keen to give you the most memorable holiday. People of the resort are incredibly friendly, caring and do everything they can to make your stay fantastic. The food is diverse, especially the local cuisine was phenomenal. Every morning afternoon and evening we were greeted by the always cheerful Vanesa. The chefs were always cheerful: Sundesh, Akil & Soudax? (Sorry if I didn’t spell your names correctly) Just like the service: thank you for your hospitality We really want to thank all the people who work here. Everyone here contributes to a fantastic time for their guests. They know hospitality here at the highest level. We hoped that the Maldives would be a dream holiday and we certainly succeeded and the people here at the resort have made a very big contribution to that. I don't normally write reviews, but we have had such an unforgettably beautiful holiday here and people are so incredibly hospitable that I definitely recommend this destination. Whole team Malahini Kuda Bandos: thank you very much for this dream vacation. Bluu bar, shop, reception, diving school, spa & massage team. Thank you for everything and I wish you all the best. We hope to come back when we are married.…

Upon arrival at Male Airport, the hotel staff met us at the appointed time and provided a transfer from the airport to the hotel. We were at the hotel in just 20 minutes. 🛥🚤 A very small and exotic island with clean rooms and super friendly and attentive staff. 🏝 Breakfast and dinner were included in the price of our room, I recommend everyone to take all inclusive or 3-course meals because the food in the restaurants and bars on the island are expensive and low quality.🌭🍕🍟 Both the activities on the island and the water excursions are expensive, and you should consider $100 per person per activity. 🫠 Overall, the hotel has the best location, clean rooms, and professional staff. They just have to fix the prices of the activities and the prices and quality of the products of the Blue Bar on the island. It would also be nice to have entertainment during the day 🏓🏐🪁…

They know how to make your holiday romantically unforgettable with for example the romantic beach diner with the lovely Eni who makes beautiful pictures and the floating breakfast. You have to visit this lovely place/ resort. The employees are so friendly and they make sure your stay is fantastic. It was my first time to the Maledives but I know for sure not the last one!

We stayed here in January .. we went all inclusive.. breakfast lunch and dinner were excellent.. staff were so diligent in restaurant.. we used the spa twice it was so relaxing.. would definitely recommend it.. the only downside was no pool but we upgraded and wish we did that from the start.. it was breath taking.. kalem and harsha in the blu bar they were so diligent.. they remembered our drinks every time.. they were so polite and hard working .. he stood out from all the rest but all the staff were excellent.. the island seems to be under construction but it’s so close to male an was great value. Would highly recommend it

Went to this pardise with my family. Was little apprehensive about the food as my parents were vegetarian but they had very good food options for every meal since I took full board option. At kitchen live counter Amdadul , Dipak Sourav and Vishal provided us with good service. Resort is at 15mins away from airport with very nice beach for snorkelling, sunset, sunrise. Very good experience
