Sandies Bathala Resort

My stay at this stunning Maldives resort was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the fantastic team made us feel welcome and ensured our experience was unforgettable. The resort offers great activities and affordable excursions, with highlights including incredible snorkeling right off the island. We encountered a vibrant array of marine life including turtles, sharks, angel rays, and beautifully reconstructed coral reefs. Dining at the resort was a delightful experience, with high-quality food that catered to various tastes. Each meal was a culinary adventure, showcasing the best of local and international cuisines. if I had to mention a couple of areas for improvement. I would suggest adding fans at the pool table area to enhance comfort. Additionally, while the food was outstanding, the desserts tended to be overly sweet. A bit more balance in the sweetness would elevate the dining experience to perfection. Despite these minor points, our stay was magical. The natural beauty, attentive staff, and variety of activities made it a perfect getaway. Thank you for an amazing time in this little piece of paradise!

Great resort and friendly staff . About 30-40 mins Seaplane transfer from Male airport . Mostly Italian guests and cuisine . Great dive center in resort . Most amazing breakfast lunch and dinner buffet . Super blue and pretty waters . They also have doctor and marine experts at the property

One of the most amazing vacation of my life. The feeling when you first see the island is indescribable! White sand and tall trees with green clear waters around! The friendly staff was always really helpful and from the beginning we felt welcome. Honestly the team is smiling and accommodating and really friendly! The ocean villa was amazing! The bed was comfy, bathroom was big and luxurious and of course the balcony led to the ocean! Food was tasty, with all kinds of options. Rich buffet, 3 times a day. Congratulations to Mahinda the chef. He has managed to accomplish an outstanding menu! Activities. Obviously most of them had to do with the ocean 😊. We saw fish, sea turtles and small sharks. We enjoyed the complimentary snorkelling twice a day. Totally worth it!! The people in charge make you feel safe in the water and are really helpful when needed. The night activities were also interesting and funny. Made us feel like a big family enjoying a night out! I will also mention a Pilates and a yoga session next to the ocean. A unique experience! To conclude, the Maldives is a place everyone should see at least once and Sandies is the place to visit! Thank you all for making our vacation a unique and unforgettable experience!

This place is a beautiful and chill, beautiful clean beaches and the sunsets are incredible. The staff are kind and engaged. Very relaxing pool beside the ocean. Great place for snorkeling too!

Our stay at Sandies Bathala Resort in the Maldives was nothing short of magical! From the moment we set foot on the island, we were warmly welcomed by Janie from Switzerland, who made us feel right at home. Despite not being avid swimmers, we decided to give snorkeling a try, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. The crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life left us in awe. For those who prefer a more relaxed water experience, the pool was a fantastic alternative, offering a perfect blend of serenity and enjoyment. The highlight of our stay was the opportunity to experience both a Beach Villa and a Water Villa. Each provided a unique and luxurious atmosphere, allowing us to indulge in the beauty of the Maldives in different ways. The attention to detail in the villas was impeccable, and waking up to the gentle sounds of the ocean was truly enchanting. The resort's daily activities added an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay. Zumba, pool dance, and the lively night dance activities, orchestrated by the talented Simone and the main dance lead (whose name unfortunately slipped our minds), kept us entertained throughout our time on the island. The energy and enthusiasm of the staff were infectious, creating an atmosphere of pure joy. Being vegetarians, we were pleasantly surprised by the resort's commitment to catering to our dietary preferences. The chef went above and beyond to provide us with a delicious and varied vegetarian breakfast of our choice each day. This thoughtful touch added a personal and considerate element to our dining experience. In conclusion, Sandies Bathala Resort exceeded our expectations in every aspect. From the warm hospitality of Janie to the diverse activities and exquisite accommodations, this Maldivian paradise is a true gem. We left with hearts full of gratitude and memories that will last a lifetime. We highly recommend Sandies Bathala Resort to anyone seeking a perfect blend of luxury, adventure, and relaxation in the breathtaking Maldives.
