Situated in the Lhaviyani Atoll
Paradise pure and simple awaits all those who venture to this idyllic private island retreat.
Location
Tucked away in the Lhaviyani, one of the northern atolls of the Maldives, Komandoo is reached by a 40-minute seaplane flight from Malé. This atoll is known for its abundant marine life, with colourful reefs, manta rays, and excellent diving spots nearby. The island itself is tiny and beautifully natural, giving you a true sense of escape while still enjoying attentive service and comfort.
Rooms
There are 65 villas at Komandoo, each blending Maldivian charm with modern elegance. Beach Villas open directly onto soft white sands, with shaded terraces perfect for lazy afternoons. Jacuzzi Beach Villas add extra indulgence with private whirlpools. Water Villas stretch into the lagoon, offering uninterrupted sea views and direct access to the water.
Amenities
Despite its size, the island has plenty to offer. You’ll find two restaurants, including fine dining under the stars at Aqua, plus beach bars for cocktails at sunset. The spa is a highlight, offering treatments in overwater pavilions where the sound of waves sets the tone for relaxation. There’s also a pool, fitness centre, and diving centre for those who want to explore beneath the surface.
Activities
Komandoo is perfect for couples who love the water. Snorkelling and diving are exceptional here, with turtles and reef sharks often seen close by. Romantic excursions include dolphin cruises, sandbank picnics, and private dining experiences. You can also enjoy yoga, water sports, or simply let the island’s peaceful rhythm set the pace.
Sustainability
The resort uses solar energy where possible, manages waste carefully, and actively supports reef conservation. By keeping the island adults-only and small-scale, the impact on the environment is reduced, helping to preserve the pristine beauty of the Lhaviyani Atoll.
