Bandaara Lake

Where do I begin..my husband and I stayed here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. From the moment we landed we were welcomed, the service was amazing, the island is so beautiful, the staff was exceptional who made us feel so special, they surprised us with a cake at dinner, they gave us a special treat in our room and decorated our bed.The view we had was amazing with just the sound of the waves. So peaceful and relaxing and would recommend this resort very highly. Overall experience was a memorable one. Thank you to everyone who made our trip so special! x

Easily accessible by 15-20 minute speedboat transfer. Warm hospitality and impeccable service. Breakfast menus change each day. Dinner inclusion in half-board is different each night so get to try different cuisine. Same butler (Mr/Ms Friday) throughout the entire stay which is great. Crystal clear turquoise water, very beautiful. Highly recommended and I would love to return to Gili in the near future.

We enjoy my stays and foods there, but the island is so small plus with very limited public areas for all guests. There are too many restricted areas. Also, There were not too many colorful dishes we found compared to another Maldives islands we went. Kind of disappointing and very likely not returning because of these reasons.
