COMO Maalifushi, The Maldives
Private pools, a living reef, and 211 km from the airport crowds.
A resort island in Thaa Atoll
COMO Maalifushi sits on its own beachfront island in the Maldives, 211 km from Velana International Airport and reached by domestic flight followed by a speedboat transfer. Every villa category includes a private pool, and the island has a house reef directly accessible for snorkelling and diving. Three restaurants cover a broad dietary spread, including vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten-free menus. A spa, fitness centre, kids' club, and water sports facilities round out what's on the ground.
Who this stay suits
A quiet, pool-villa island with serious dive access and high nightly rates to match.
Best for
- Couples wanting overwater or beachfront seclusion
- Divers and snorkellers with reef access on-site
- Families using the kids' club
- Guests who want dietary flexibility across three restaurants
Less suited to
- Budget-conscious travellers — entry price is $2,363/night
- Those wanting to explore multiple islands or local towns
- Travellers averse to a domestic flight plus boat to reach the property
House reef and water sports
The house reef is reachable directly from the island, so you are not scheduling a boat just to snorkel. On-site diving and water sport facilities mean most activity is self-contained. Fishing is also available for guests who want it.
Three restaurants, wide menu range
The resort runs three restaurants with menus that cover continental, Asian, American, and buffet formats. Special diet menus, including halal, vegan, and gluten-free, are available on request. A bar and snack bar supplement main dining.
Spa and fitness centre
The spa and wellness centre is on-site alongside a fitness centre. Live music, cooking classes, themed dinner nights, and evening entertainment run as regular programming rather than one-off events.
Private pools across all villa types
Every category, from the 101 m² Beach Suite to the 120 m² Water Villa, includes its own private pool. There is no base room without a pool at this property.
Kids' club and family rooms
A dedicated kids' club is on the island, and the resort lists family rooms among its facility categories. Entertainment staff are also present, which matters if you are travelling with children who need structured activity.
Facilities for accessibility
The resort lists facilities for guests with disabilities, which is worth confirming directly before booking given the overwater and beachfront terrain typical of Maldivian island resorts.

Getting there

Expect roughly $150–400 per person round trip for the domestic flight + speedboat, arranged by the property. Confirm the fare when booking.
COMO Maalifushi holds a 4.8 Google rating across 217 reviews, and recent guests have rated location at 9.7 out of 10.
