Sandies Bathala

It was an amazing experience of living on such a small island, but they will provide everything you need. The food is just wonderful, stuff is friendly and helpful, atmosphere is nice and very Italian oriented. Reccomend for those who loves privacy and very calm vacations in beautiful place! Would add TV into the rooms for the days with bad weather.

It’s not the first time of staying there and we are absolutely satisfied! Great staff, an awesome service and picturesque views!

Sandies Bathala is a wonderful resort for those who love peace and nature. The location is beautiful and very quiet, making it the perfect place to relax. The atmosphere is calm and laid-back, with a true Maldivian island feel. It’s also a great snorkeling spot, with easy access to the house reef full of marine life. I also love that the resort doesn’t have barriers, so the island feels open and natural, letting you enjoy the ocean views from all sides.

Located in the Northern Atoll is Sandies Bathala Island which is a 20 min seaplane ride from the main Island. Transfer to the Island is via TMA, met on arrival into Male, and bused seamlessly to TMA seaplane terminal. Wow what a busy little terminal with seaplane departing and arriving on a regular basis transporting staff and tourist to multiple island destinations. We're off!! Unfortunately due to weather we couldn't land at our destination and were dropped off at Safari Island a 1hr 20 min boat ride from Bathala. Arrival was relatively painless and our beach bungalow was spacious, comfortable with onsuite and outside shower, serviced twice daily. The Island isnt large by any stretch of the imagimation, walk 15 minutes and you've circumnavigated around the Island. There is a dive centre for those interested on deeper exploration or snorkeling for those just wanting to see the wide array of tropical fish. Bathala is an All Inclusive resort and individuals would struggle not to find something to eat. We found the food to be a high standard, multiple options and the support from staff whether in the restaurant, reception or bar outstanding. Special call out to " Magic" his attention to detail set him apart. If you want a relaxing break, in a tropical oasis, good amenities, good attentive staff. I recommend this Island.

The title is fitting for the wonderful experience we just had. The resort management is punctual and highly professional, as are all the staff, who provide care and attention every day. Spending a week at Bathala means being able to reconnect not only with nature but, above all, with yourself. See you soon, and thank you for the wonderful energy you shared with me and my partner!
