Open year round, 24/7
C随心启示录:“With a marriage certificate within six months, you can apply for a honeymoon package~ There are very elaborate room decorations and champagne cake gifts~
The little black guy who cleans the room is really cute~
During our stay on the island, we did not choose a sand house + water house~ Because there were only 4 nights~, so we simply booked a water house~ The water house on Olu Island is half sand and half water~ Every morning when the water rises, there are fish under the house~ Small sharks, manta rays and various fish are very beautiful~
At night, after the sunset, the crabs all came out~ Lazily lying on the beach~
There are stairs in the water house that can go directly to the sea. As soon as you walk in, the crabs scatter~
In short, the water house is a good experience~ And compared to the sand house, the water house is also a little larger~”

Dr BP:“For most people this will be their first or last stop in The Maldives, as it is the island on which the airport is located.It is newly reclaimed land and being designed as a kind of "back-up" capital city in case neighboring Male succumbs to rising sea levels. As such, it is a bit of construction site as new hotels, apartments etc are going up all over the place.An okay beach for a quick dip, but gets a bit of floating trash.In any case, it is okay stopover for a night after arriving or before leaving the country.”
Bandos

4.7/5220 Reviews
Open year round, 24/7
shanghaiboyu:“Bandos Island is a cost-effective resort island in the Maldives
• Advantages:
◦ Excellent geographical location: Located in the North Male Atoll, it is very close to Male International Airport. It takes 15-20 minutes to get to the island by speedboat. The transportation is convenient, which reduces the fatigue of the journey.
◦ Excellent snorkeling environment: As a snorkeling double A island, there are more than 40 diving spots around the island. The coral reef is only 40-60 meters away from the beach. Sharks and rays can be seen on the beach. Snorkeling enthusiasts can enjoy rich marine life and colorful coral reefs here.
◦ Complete supporting facilities: The island has a children's club, medical center, diving center, water sports center, etc., and is also equipped with tennis courts, squash courts, badminton courts, saunas, gyms and other sports facilities to meet the needs of different tourists.
◦ High cost-effectiveness: You can stay for 4 nights for more than 3,000 per person, which also includes daily breakfast and dinner and speedboat transfers to and from Male. The price is relatively affordable and suitable for tourists with limited budgets.
◦ Beautiful natural environment: Most of the island is covered with lush tropical green plants, the beach is fine and white, the sea water is clear and transparent, exuding a unique tranquil beauty, it is a good place to relax on vacation.
• Disadvantages:
◦ The room facilities are relatively old: As an old island, although it has been renovated, some room facilities may still not be as luxurious as some newly developed high-end islands, which may not be satisfactory for tourists who pursue the ultimate accommodation experience.
◦ The quality of catering needs to be improved: Some tourists reported that the food choices in the buffet restaurant lack diversity and the quality of dinner is average. In contrast, the island's order-based restaurants such as barbecue bars have relatively good reviews.
◦ Some service attitudes are poor: Some guests mentioned that the attitude of local employees in treating guests can be further improved, and there is a lack of respect and enthusiasm, which to some extent affects the overall experience of tourists.”

David Lee Ali Daudi:“The company's group travel recommended an all-inclusive island. To be honest, the cost-effectiveness is very high. Adults and children are very satisfied. The island is very close to Male Airport and it takes about 15 minutes to get to the island. The recreational facilities are all available. The restaurant is large and the food is very complete. The staff on the island are very nice and friendly. If it is a family or a group, it is especially recommended to come here. The cost-effectiveness is still OK”
Maldivian Seaplane Terminal

4.8/513 Reviews
Opening hours: 06:00-16:00
djjdjndjd:“The seaplane is beautiful, but I will never take it again.
The first time I went to Maldives, I wanted to experience the characteristics and see the beautiful scenery, so I chose to take a seaplane to the island, but! I will never choose a seaplane island again next time!
The main attraction is that it is stuffy, hot, noisy and smelly. I suggest that people who are prone to motion sickness and sensitive to smells should not try it. The diesel smell + noise + stuffiness, and the seaplane that lasts more than 20 minutes is really unbearable. We flew to the island for almost an hour, and I was almost exhausted.
Although it is indeed beautiful from above, I think you can also see and take beautiful photos when you are about to arrive in Male by plane (p2 is what I took on the plane). It is not worth the suffering. It took me a long time to recover after arriving on the island.”

小民2011:“The environment on the island is pretty good, and it must be well managed. There are many water activities, including free kayaking, sailing, etc., as well as paid paragliding, banana boats, etc. There is also a swimming pool and a bar, so you can relax at night if you are tired during the day.”What to eat

中音谱号:“#Farine is an Italian restaurant on #patinaMaldives. Although it serves the #PatinaMaldives, you can also make an appointment to eat at the #Ritz-CarltonMaldives, which is developed by the same developer. It is not open every day. If I remember correctly, it should be open three days a week. It is semi-self-service. You can make an appointment with the hotel for the specific time of arrival.
Italian food is quite friendly to Chinese people, with good quality and taste. You can get free drinks for an additional $50 per person. Due to weather reasons tonight, we changed to the buffet restaurant (with shade). #Fari Islands”

Joyce M:“Last year, I was deeply attracted by the notes of Patina (Badian) in Maldives. This time, I chose it without hesitation when traveling with Zhou Ge’s girlfriend.
In the past six months since my aunt resigned, this is the first time that I have "abandoned my husband and children" and traveled alone. I am "a little bit" happy.
Today I will share with you my experience of staying in Patina:
🩶Patina is a simple and artistic design style. The gray color is very young and textured. You can take a fashionable blockbuster in any corner.
🩶We stayed in both the sand house and the water house. The sand house is larger and more designed. Babies who like light and shadow like me will be fascinated by this place.
For the water house, I recommend you to choose the sunset water house or the lagoon water house. The wind and waves will be smaller. The sunrise water house we stayed in had a little big wind and waves.
🩶The food on the island is very suitable for Chinese stomachs. We ate in every restaurant on FB. The breakfast is particularly rich and has many choices. The boiled wagyu beef and sweet and sour eggplant in the Chinese restaurant are quite delicious. KOEN's fine dining amazed me, especially the last matcha ice cream, which was so delicious.
There is also free afternoon tea and ice cream every afternoon on the island.
🩶 The hotel also has many activities. We went to Pilates and sunset cruise. We did Pilates in an art installation in the hotel. The light and shadow at 8 o'clock in the morning were healing and beautiful.
We were lucky on the sunset cruise. With the sunset, drinking champagne, and having a girlfriend by my side, it was really a blessing.
～～
I started to miss Patina as soon as she left. I want to bring my daughter back to stay for a few more days during the peak season to continue to enjoy the slow life in Maldives. #Travel with girlfriends #Maldives Island Selection Guide #Maldives Hotel Recommendation #Maldives Travel #That's the beach I always want to go to”
Fari Beach Club

中音谱号:“#FariBeachClub is a club in #patinaMaldives. In addition to drinks, it also provides free #happyhour (time needs to be confirmed with the butler). There is a swimming pool, an inner sea view, a sunset, and a DJ. #Patina advocates a young, relaxed, fashionable, and harmonious social atmosphere. Even if you are on an island vacation, you can chat with everyone, drink wine, and taste food. But don't underestimate the snacks. They are all exquisite and delicious. They are provided for free and are not inferior to the food on sale. Here you can not only chat with guests, but also with hotel managers and waiters around you. It's a very pleasant process!
After HappyHour, the fun is not over, so I went here to have dinner. Fari Beach Club offers fusion cuisine, but it is generally friendly to Asian appetites👏Open from 12:00 to 00:00, lunch from 13:00 to 17:00, dinner from 19:00 to 22:30, and drinks at other times.
🥗Thai green papaya salad, sour and spicy appetizer;
🐂Beef short ribs rendang curry, Indonesian style, slow-cooked with coconut milk and a variety of spices, the meat is tender and the spices are rich;
🍜Thai fried rice noodles, the classic Thai national food Pad Thai, you will never get tired of it!
The chefs on the island have restored the original taste of the dishes to the maximum extent. You can also eat authentic exotic cuisine at #MaldivesPadianHotel. The portion is also quite large, thumbs up to the chef team!”

中音谱号:“#Brasa is a steakhouse in #patinaMaldives, located in FARI MARINA VILLAGE, open from 19:00 to 22:30 (not open every day).
Although it is on the island, the ingredients and kitchenware are all available. The huge aging cabinet is in the corner, aging beef and fish, cooked to order, and there is an open stove.
Ordered T-bone steak🥩The fresh steak was put into the oven and it came out in a few seconds. It had a smoky smell, and the steak was fat and lean, with a good taste. The seafood salad🦐 tasted good, and the sauce was very suitable for Chinese people's appetite.
The embarrassing thing is that there are many flies, and you have to be careful not to land on the food. The restaurant has prepared expulsion equipment. But there is no seaside view outdoors anyway, so it is better to sit in an indoor position.
