COMO Hotels and Resorts has opened its second luxury retreat in the Maldives: Maalifushi by COMO. Located on a private 20-acre island in the pristine Thaa Atoll, this intimate 66-room sanctuary is the brand’s first property in this untouched region, offering a tranquil alternative to busier atolls.
The resort’s accommodations blend overwater and garden suites, designed to provide privacy, comfort and easy access to vibrant marine life. Overwater rooms open directly to the lagoon for snorkelling and swimming, while garden rooms are set among lush tropical landscaping for a secluded feel.
Maalifushi’s wellness offering centers on the COMO Shambhala Retreat, which features eight overwater treatment rooms, a dedicated yoga pavilion and a fully equipped gym. The spa program integrates holistic therapies and wellness treatments tailored to individual needs, making it a focal point for guests seeking relaxation and rejuvenation.
For underwater exploration, the resort operates an on-island dive centre that organizes guided dives and PADI courses led by experienced instructors. Snorkelling, dolphin cruises, fishing trips and sailing excursions are also available, ensuring a range of activities for guests who want to engage with the ocean and local marine life.
One of the resort’s distinctive experiences is the option to book a small private islet owned by the property for castaway-style picnics or intimate, romantic dinners. This allows couples and small groups to enjoy a truly private, tailor-made island dining experience against a spectacular natural backdrop.
Maalifushi complements COMO’s existing presence in the Maldives; its sister property, Cocoa Island by COMO, is situated to the north in the South Malé Atoll. Together the two properties provide different Maldivian experiences—Cocoa Island’s proximity to Malé makes it convenient and classic in style, while Maalifushi offers a more secluded, off-the-beaten-track escape.
Whether guests seek active marine adventures, restorative spa treatments or peaceful seclusion on a private island, Maalifushi by COMO positions itself as a refined, low-key luxury option in the Maldives that emphasizes wellness, personalized service and direct access to exceptional ocean environments.
