This is a very easy Maldives package to like. Goose has spotted a beachfront stay at Bandos Maldives with all-inclusive dining, Etihad flights, baggage and transfers bundled in — which takes a lot of the usual Maldives faff out of the equation.

Bandos is a handy choice if you want the classic Maldives experience without a long onward journey after landing. The island sits relatively close to Malé, so transfers are typically much simpler than resorts that require a seaplane.
The beachfront room is the big draw here. You’re staying right by the sand, with easy access to the lagoon, snorkelling and the sort of ridiculously clear water the Maldives is known for.

There’s also a 10-night option around £3,797 total, which could be worth comparing if you want a longer stay and the nightly rate works out better.
