“Malahini Kuda Bandos's greatest strength lies in its location, a mere ten-minute speedboat ride from Male International Airport. The traditional Maldivian architecture blends seamlessly with contemporary design, creating a visually appealing and comfortable environment, although some areas might show signs of wear. In my opinion, the resort's smaller bar, Bar75, stands out for its superior service and expertly crafted drinks compared to the main beach bar.”

The transfer from the airport was quick. I was greeted with refreshing drinks upon arrival.

The all-inclusive drinks selection was limited to local beers and spirits. The cocktail quality was poor, and taste varied between bars. Beach seating was insufficient, and the sunbeds were not clean. (I certainly think improvements could be made!)
