“It was one of the best vacations we have ever taken. The service and staff were top notch, more than we could have expected. The resort and beach were absolutely beautiful. We never left the entire time we were there! Highly highly recommended.”
Maalifushi by COMO is the first luxury resort in the Maldives to open in the pristine Thaa Atoll in the archipelago’s southwest. With overwater villas and garden suites, Maalifushi is therefore the ultimate away-from-it-all destination for families, couples, surfers and divers. There are some excellent breaks nearby as well as a string of uninhabited private islands, where there are seasonal whale shark sightings.

Sailing
The Maldives’ calm, shallow waters provide the perfect place to learn sailing while the open water can offer challenges for the more experienced.
Snorkelling
For those who don’t dive, there is no need to miss out on the spectacular marine life of the Maldives. With just a mask and flippers, there is plenty to see around each resort and in the lagoon, with Maalifushi’s undisturbed waters making for some excellent opportunities. Children also much enjoy snorkelling, with complimentary gear provided to guests of Maalifushi.
Surfing
The Maldives are rapidly becoming popular among surfers, with some great long curving atoll reef waves. Farms break is 25 minutes away on guided boat trip with Tropic surf. The waves here are medium-sized while more challenging barrels are also available within reach of the resort. Best of all, crowds are non-existent.
Diving
Although the Maldives are rated amongst the top ten diving destinations in the world, many experienced divers would put them in the top five. The sheer abundance of marine life and the clear visibility make this one of the greatest underwater regions on the planet, with Thaa Atoll’s particular status in the dive world assured by seasonal sightings of whale sharks, hammerheads and Manta Rays. All of this is within easy reach of Maalifushi.
Fishing
Fishing is part of the Indian Ocean culture, heritage and for many in the islands, forms a vital livelihood. Thaa Atoll in particular has some of the most productive waters, and a very well regarded fishing industry. Resort guests who want to go fishing have access to our expertise, equipment and boat captains.
