PB hotel design editorial

Thaa Atoll sits at the southern edge of the Maldives' inhabited atolls, far enough from Malé that reaching COMO Maalifushi requires a forty-minute seaplane crossing — a journey that effectively puts the Indian Ocean between guests and the rest of the world. That geographical remove shaped everything about the resort when it opened in 2014: the 65 villas arranged across a private island and its surrounding lagoon, the unhurried atmosphere, and an interior language drawn from the COMO group's signature restraint rather than the maximalist tropical excess that characterises so many competitors in the archipelago. The overwater and beach villas, designed with COMO's in-house team, work through a palette of weathered teak, pale linen, and thatch — materials that weather honestly and recede into the lagoon light rather than competing with it. Four-poster beds draped in gauze mosquito netting anchor each bedroom, the canopy framing the water view as deliberately as any picture window. Exposed timber roof structure gives the interior volume without weight. At the pool terrace, a curving infinity edge dissolves into the beach, teak decking edged with smooth river pebbles and shaded by coconut palms bending in the trade wind. The dining deck at dusk — wicker-armed chairs, candlelit tables arranged along the pool edge as the sky moves through amber and rose — captures exactly the calibrated informality that COMO has refined across its resort properties over two decades.

About

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 whale shark sightings are common.

COMO Maalifushi Reviews

947 reviews

"The trip was excellent. Our villa host, Zaeen, was very kind and helpful, he would go out of his way to help us. With him, the trip elevated to a whole different level. Mode, our main snorkelling guide, helped us a lot while on land and in the sea. One thing he did was that he found our goggle in sea. We really enjoyed the house reef, the wild life there was amazing and diverse. Such as: turtles, rays, sharks, and a lot of coral. We would definitely go back!"

"Our six-night stay at COMO Maalifushi exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived until our departure, every detail was thoughtfully considered, creating an experience that felt both luxurious and genuinely personal. The island itself is breathtaking, with beautifully designed villas, crystal-clear water, exceptional dining, and an atmosphere that strikes the perfect balance between understated luxury and complete relaxation. Every member of the team greeted us with genuine warmth and professionalism, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. A special thank you goes to our host, Diksha, who was outstanding. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, coordinated every aspect of our stay seamlessly, and was always available with a warm smile and thoughtful recommendations. Her attention to detail and genuine care made a wonderful holiday truly unforgettable. As a surfer, one of the highlights was spending time with the Tropical Surf team. A special thank you to Angus and Brooke, whose hospitality, local knowledge, and genuine passion for surfing made every session memorable. COMO Maalifushi is a truly special destination that combines world-class accommodation, outstanding service, and unforgettable experiences both in and out of the water. We left feeling completely refreshed and already looking forward to returning. We cannot recommend this resort highly enough."
