COMO Maalifushi is one of those places that feels different. There’s a stillness here that starts the moment you step off the seaplane — no motorised water sports, no over-the-top glitz, just elegant villas, exceptional food, and the kind of slow, healing atmosphere that’s hard to manufacture.
It’s the only resort in the remote Thaa Atoll, which means zero neighbours and some of the most untouched coral reefs in the Maldives. The marine life is incredible — expect dolphin-spotting boat trips, castaway sandbank picnics, and bucket-list snorkelling and diving. On land, everything is designed to help you slow down. The COMO Shambhala Retreat is world-renowned for good reason, with expert therapists, yoga and wellness programmes that go far beyond your average spa menu.
Dining is a standout here too. There’s Madi, the laid-back main restaurant with Maldivian and Mediterranean plates (and an impressive vegan-friendly menu), Tai, the lagoon-side Japanese with top-grade sushi, and Thila Bar, perfect for sundowners or light poolside bites.
COMO Maalifushi works for families, honeymooners, and anyone in need of a proper digital detox — but it’s especially good if you want privacy, a true connection to nature, and a resort that knows exactly how to do understated luxury.
COMO Maalifushi is set in the pristine Thaa Atoll, far south of Malé, where the water is glassy, reefs are thriving, and you won’t see another resort in sight. You’ll arrive via a 60-minute seaplane from Malé — and while it’s a bit further out than most, the views alone are worth the journey. This southern location also means calmer seas and a slightly cooler breeze, especially during the dry season. It’s ideal if you want to escape the more tourist-heavy northern atolls and enjoy a slower, more intimate side of the Maldives — perfect for wellness-focused escapes, couples’ retreats, and families looking for tranquility.
