the Low Down

Accessed by a 60-minute seaplane journey from the islands’ capital, Malé COMO Maalifushi, the first and only resort to open on the unspoilt Thaa Atoll, greets you with jungle greens, palm trees and tropical feels, complete with stunning panoramic views across white sands and crystal-clear seas. As well as being perfect for a romantic getaway, the island is ideal for families. The ultimate experience for little ones comes in the form of a sunset cruise with a twist, as the team set off in search of dolphin pods migrating through the Thaa Atoll. Once in the open water, you can hop onto COMO’s dhoni’s splash net and experience the thrill of being towed safely through the ocean.

The Reasons To Go

COMO is moving towards 100% elimination of single use plastic by 2020. COMO Maalifushi has also installed solar panels on almost all back-of-house buildings in an effort to reduce carbon emission.
COMO Cuisine incorporates organic ingredients rich in living enzymes, vitamins and sea minerals while still delivering on flavour. The menu showcases dishes that are raw, steamed or grilled for maximum health benefits and the chefs also make ample use of the tandoor, a type of Indian oven allowing for fat-free cooking whilst introducing a wonderful charcoal flavour – this unique collection of dishes allows for a mid-holiday detox, a day of juicing, or a holiday on a tailored meal plan
COMO Shambhala Retreat at COMO Maalifushi offers holistic, Asian-inspired treatments with views of the Indian Ocean. It is the embodiment of a philosophy for healthy living that COMO Shambhala has successfully refined at its award-winning retreats all over the world. There are eight overwater ocean-facing treatment rooms, steam rooms, a pool and an open-air yoga pavilion – all enveloped by blue horizons and gentle sea breezes.

The Nitty Gritty

Accommodation:
COMO Maalifushi’s accommodation includes 33 overwater villas and suites, and 32 beach villas, suites and garden rooms, all built of yellow balau with Kajan thatched roofs, referencing indigenous architecture while remaining elegantly pared back to reflect the island’s calming setting. Whilst the stunning overwater suites and villas are built off wooden walkways that stand above the shallow lagoon, each has its own private terrace and pool. The garden villas and suites are set within the folds of the island’s lush tropical vegetation — yet still only twenty steps from the beach’s high tide mark.

COMO Maalifushi is located in the turquoise waters of the Maldives’ southerly Thaa Atoll, just a 60-minute seaplane flight from Male International Airport, or a 45-minute seaplane flight from sister property, COMO Cocoa Island.

The Weather

The Maldives are a year-round destination with a near constant temperature of 86°F (30°C). The water temperature remains steady, never falling below 77°F (25°C) and reaching 84°F (29°C) during high season. However, the islands are tropical and therefore also subject to two distinct seasons, or monsoons. April is a transitional time between these two seasons and is known for the clear water, which is appealing to divers. The iruvai (northeast monsoon) is hot and dry and runs from December to April, making this the official high season when the islands enjoy little rain and low humidity. Rain is more likely from May to November (during hulghangu, or southwest monsoon), making this the official low season.
