 Sandies Bathala 

Simple style, sublime snorkelling

Perfectly placed to explore the North Ari Atoll’s spectacular underwater world.

Sandies Bathala is a stylishly easy-breezy all-inclusive resort in the Ari Atoll. It’s a small island on the northeastern edge of the atoll, just a 15-minute scenic seaplane ride from Malé airport.

Why we love Sandies Bathala

  • Pared-back luxury lets the location shine – and wow, what a location it is

  • The crisp bungalows are light and airy with a contemporary beachy feel

  • The romance of the beach grill evenings, with fresh seafood served on a candlelit shore

  • Being all-inclusive, you arrive knowing everything is already taken care of

A single restaurant serves a terrific variety of dishes. For a special occasion, try the Beach Grill, where candlelit tables are set up on the sand.

The Island Gallery
Serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet-style with Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Live cooking stations serve fresh local fish and pasta, and a pizzaiolo bakes fresh, authentic Italian pizza.

The Island Bar
A laid-back beach bar serving coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening.

The fresh fish cooked live at The Island Gallery is unmissable.
