Big Game Fishing
Popular statistics have it that the average Maldivian consumes an average of 75 kilograms of tuna annually. Our love for fishing should then come as no surprise, and Bandos is proud to share the Maldivian flair for fishing, particularly the art of baitless fishing, with our guests. One needn’t be a professional as our team includes professional fishermen who will be able to assist you through out the course of entire trip. Geared towards this end is our state of the art vessel, Prowler equipped with fish finder, global positioning systems, radar and so forth.
The type of fish caught is heavily dependant upon the monsoon. The country experiences two main seasons, the South West Monsoon and the North East Monsoon. The South West Monsoon, which usually starts in May and continues until August, is the rainy season. However, given that these coral isles have an abundance of marine fauna, there hardly goes a time when a trip fails to yield a good catch.

Bandos strives to redefine the art of dining. Geared towards this goal are our selection of restaurants and bars, including a 24 hour coffee shop that will offer you a great many variety of culinary options from a la carte to Indian, from local cuisine to continental delicacies and so much more.
