We booked COMO Maalifushi after a recommendation from a neighbour and it didn’t disappoint. From the moment we made the booking, the communication and level of service was second to none, from arranging our sea planes (with private lounge on arrival in Male), to the care and warmth from every member of staff during our stay. Special mention to our butler Naail, who is available 24/7 to ensure no question or request goes unanswered, Rini, Zuaail and the wider catering team and the kids club assistants. The team really do go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful time, and they are all brilliant with children. The resort itself is exactly how it is described, a remote island paradise with pristine beaches and clear waters, far away from the noise and light pollution of resorts closer to Male. We stayed in a beach villa, spacious with a private pool and direct beach access. We enjoyed snorkelling on the house reef and the sunset dolphin cruise. Food is as you would expect from a five star Maldives resort, and we particularly enjoyed the extensive breakfast and the special themed nights put on in the main restaurant. We highly recommend this resort and look forward to returning in years to come.
