ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE
This island gem, set on Thaa Atoll in the pristine southern Maldives, offers every imaginable luxury in rich, natural setting. The COMO Maalifushi opened in 2013, and skillfully melds that beachcomber, barefoot luxury with the comfort of a 5-star hotel. Built entirely of natural materials, the COMO Maalifushi blends into the landscape for a Robinson Crusoe-like sense of escape where no wish goes unanswered. Double your relaxation and wellbeing at one of two exceptional spas: The COMO Maalifushi enjoys a perfect symbiosis with COMO Cocoa Island, COMO’s first hotel in the Maldives on South Malé Atoll. Enthusiastic island hoppers will enjoy the leap.
A magical, protected coral reef awaits to the southeast, and a large lagoon graces the northwest coast. Take to the water and snorkel, kitesurf or windsurf to your heart’s content, or take it down a notch and just relax on the beach, closing out the evening with a breathtaking sunset. The Play by COMO kid’s club has a range of exciting activities to keep your little ones happy and occupied.
