10 Top-Rated All-inclusives in North Male Atoll

May 10, 2023 Marlin Saiz

If you’re looking for a Robinson Crusoe experience, you can still find that thatched-hut-on-the-beach vibe in the North Malé Atoll. But this chain of 50 or so palm-shaded islands in the Maldives has been stepping up its game lately with sleek, stylish accommodations. These days, even the islands themselves are designer. The newly opened Patina Maldives and Ritz Carlton Maldives sit on an archipelago that construction crews built in the Indian Ocean. Divers love North Malé Atoll for spots like Manta Point, where manta rays congregate so they can be “cleaned” by small fish. You can even snorkel with curious hawksbill turtles. North of the capital city of Malé are some prime surf spots.

Paradise Island Resort & Spa

Imagine an island right in the middle of the Indian Ocean, with bright white beaches, a lagoon with multiple hues of blue and aquamarine and tall coconut palms swaying to the breeze. Who wouldn't want to be marooned on one? All the more, when all modern comforts and formal professional services that one would expect on a five star hotel come together with it.

Magnificent stay celebrating my 30th

We (my husband, baby and I) spent 5 days in Maldives to celebrate my 30th birthday and it couldn’t have been better. Varu met all our expectations and went over and beyond to ensure we are comfortable and happy. The service provided by the staff was exception where the hospitality was over and beyond. To name a few Limon, Yayu, Priyanka, Janani, Michelle, Lakshan, Chamila, Thivanka, Denika and Nisha. To top it all, the food was just amazing where plenty of options and varieties with all cuisines served being true to its flavours! Definitely see myself going back there!

Fantastic!

Reviewed By andybZ8886GS

Fantastic and friendly service from the time you arrive at the airport until they drop you off for your departure. Easy boat transfer. The location was exceptional. The house reef as some of the best snorkeling we have done anywhere in the world. Food was great with a lot of variety. Definitely try all the Indian dishes. Just Grill the specialty restaurant was very nice. Unfortunately they no longer have the vegetarian restaurant and the menu at Just Wok the other specialty restaurant was uninspired and not much different from the buffet restaurant. Can’t emphasize enough how friendly the staff was and the exceptional level of their service. It was a very long trip from the US but this place made it worth the trip.

Bandos Maldives

Not wishing to rest on the laurels of our existing achievements, Bandos Maldives had in the past year undertaken a major refurbishment project with the intention of transforming ourselves into a hotel that is truly reflective of the times. Careful consideration however, was given at all times to ensure that the old-world refinement for which the island has a reputation remained uncompromised. Under the project, major facelifts have been given to the front desk, lobby areas, shops, restaurants and bars and have furthermore commissioned a new swimming pool and additional accommodation facilities all of which perfectly blend with the island's tropical splendour and give visitors a taste of the Maldivian aesthetic.

looks great online reality is quite disappointing

Reviewed By miab82

The Bandos resort looks like a 4 start resort based on its lovely brochures and traffic web images. The reality of the resort is far less than you expect at that price or for a 4 star resort. I will start with the good, the rooms are well apportioned, excellent air conditioning, basic rooms have good space. The beds are comfortable. But for people working in the hospitality industry, this is a shockingly inhospitable place. check in is only 2 PM, most flights arrive in the AM. The boats take you from the airport in Male (MLE) to the island and then you wait till 2. No early check in. No courtesy suites set aside to let you shower or rest after 2 days journey. Staff have memorized the check in and checkout times and that is all. The "lounge: they offer is a room with couches and a locker room like shower facility. No privacy and service at check in was painful. The food is buffet style for the all inclusive. Limited selection of alcohol wine and beer unless you are willing too pay extra. At Bandos, everything is an extra charge. The spa facility charges $120 for a massage or $60 for a manicure. The prices are not commensurate with being in a country where that would be a monthly wage. Back to the food. most of it is over cooked and unimaginative. It was awful, except for the fresh fruit, and salads. The island is so isolated so once there you are stuck. Wifi service is unreliable at best. Each night features a different entertainment, Karaoke, or a live local band (playing AC/DC and Bon Jovi .. badly) at ear busting decibel levels. Dont bother asking fo any kind of accommodation. the answer is always no. In sum, for the money you will spend at Bandos find somewhere else .. it is definitely not worth the money and service was pretty awful.
