Our recent trip to Maldives wouldn’t be complete without a stay at the new COMO resort, which we were looking forward to checking out for a long time. Having now returned to the considerably less glamorous Europe we are happy to report that our eagerness to visit Maalifushi was fully justified.
With the tall palm tree forest, wide beaches and natural reefs the island has a wild feel, a rarity in Maldives these days.
This resort is ideal for couples who are after some peace and quiet, looking to escape it all.
Maalifushi's design and atmosphere falls somewhere between the sophisticated minimalism of the Aman Resorts and the Six Senses eco chic—a sweet spot to be in!
Spacious, cosy, luxurious: the villas were some of the best we ever tried—especially the beautiful villas on stilts.
This island smells good! Famous for its Shambhala Spas, COMO has its own range of high quality cosmetics, distributed in tiny bottles in the guest bathrooms but also available at a small spa shop.
