PRIVATE ISLAND · FIVE STARS

COMO Maalifushi

A private island in Thaa Atoll, a 30- to 60-minute seaplane flight from Malé, with reef breaks offshore, an overwater Japanese restaurant and a spa built above the lagoon.

A private island in the far south

COMO Maalifushi occupies its own island in Thaa Atoll, in the remote southern Maldives, a 30- to 60-minute seaplane flight from Malé that ends at the resort's own jetty. The atoll sees far fewer visitors than the north, and the reef breaks offshore are usually uncrowded outside peak season.

Eleven villa categories run from garden-set suites to a four-bedroom overwater residence, with three restaurants, a spa built out over the lagoon, and a Tropicsurf guide based on site through the surf months. Families are as much at home here as couples, with a children's programme that runs from sushi-making to coral planting.
