Explore vibrant reefs teeming with life, indulge in award-winning spa treatments inspired by Asian traditions, or sink into the stillness of your private villa.
Location
Set in the untouched Thaa Atoll in the southern Maldives, COMO Maalifushi feels worlds away from the busier islands. You’ll arrive by seaplane from Malé, before landing at this private island sanctuary surrounded by turquoise lagoons and thriving coral reefs.
Rooms
The resort offers a collection of beachfront suites and overwater villas, each designed with understated luxury in mind. Light-filled interiors use natural wood, soft whites, and floor-to-ceiling windows to frame the sea. Many come with private pools, outdoor decks, and direct access to either the lagoon or the beach, making them as welcoming for couples as they are for families.
Amenities
What guests love here is the balance of indulgence and calm. You’ll find a stunning infinity pool, a choice of restaurants serving everything from Japanese to fresh, locally inspired dishes, and COMO’s renowned Shambhala Retreat, a spa dedicated to holistic wellbeing. Yoga pavilions, meditation spaces, and expert therapists make it as much a retreat as a luxury resort.
Activities
This is one of the Maldives’ best spots for diving and surfing, thanks to its rich marine life and uncrowded waves. Daily excursions include snorkelling with whale sharks, dolphin cruises, and island-hopping adventures. Families will find thoughtful touches too, with a kids’ club that lets younger travellers discover the wonders of the ocean in safe, engaging ways.
Sustainability
COMO Maalifushi supports coral reef restoration, marine conservation initiatives, and local sourcing to reduce its footprint. Programmes to minimise single-use plastics and responsible waste management are part of everyday practice, ensuring that the island’s natural beauty remains protected for the future.
