Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

COMO Maalifushi is a year-round destination, though the optimal time to visit is December through April during the dry season with calm seas, clear skies and excellent visibility for snorkelling and diving. Shoulder seasons can offer better value, but it’s wise to check weather and sea conditions. The resort’s wellness facilities ensure a meaningful experience regardless of season.

COMO Maalifushi is far more than a resort with a spa — it is a dedicated wellness destination powered by the globally respected COMO Shambhala philosophy. The retreat features eight over-water treatment suites, an open-air yoga pavilion, and personalised programmes including Holistic Reset, Body in Harmony and Digestive Reset. The combination of serious wellness depth with an ultra-luxury Maldivian setting is what sets it apart.

COMO Maalifushi is reached by a scenic seaplane transfer of approximately 45–60 minutes from Malé International Airport. The resort can arrange transfers for you. The seaplane journey itself is a memorable experience, offering breathtaking aerial views of the Maldivian atolls and turquoise waters below.

Pack light, breathable resort wear and swimwear, comfortable exercise clothing for yoga and movement classes, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses for sun protection, and light layers for air-conditioned spaces and cooler evening breezes. The barefoot luxury atmosphere means formal attire is not required.

COMO Maalifushi welcomes both couples and families, though the emphasis throughout is on wellness, nature and calm rather than high-energy resort entertainment. The serene environment and focus on meaningful reset makes it particularly well-suited for those seeking a purposeful, restorative escape.

Absolutely. The COMO Shambhala Kitchen specialises in nutrition-forward, healthy cuisine and can accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other specific needs. The resort also offers fine dining, beach dining and over-water restaurant experiences, all with an emphasis on fresh, wholesome ingredients. Please inform the resort of your dietary requirements when booking.

COMO Maalifushi offers both over-water villas and beach-based villas, many with private pools and direct sea or lagoon access. Designed by architect Koichiro Ikebuchi, each villa emphasises a seamless connection to sea, sky and lagoon through indoor-outdoor living, premium natural materials and understated luxury appointments.

We recommend a minimum stay of 5–7 nights to fully experience the comprehensive wellness programmes and allow time for the COMO Shambhala treatments to deliver meaningful results. Some programmes, such as the Digestive Reset, are designed for 4 days/3 nights, while extended stays allow for deeper transformation. Shorter visits are available but longer stays typically yield the most significant benefits.

Beyond the COMO Shambhala Retreat, guests can enjoy daily yoga and pilates classes, meditation sessions, world-class snorkelling and diving in pristine Thaa Atoll waters, surfing excursions, beach activities, nature walks, and curated ocean experiences. The emphasis is on wellness, nature and calm — creating space for genuine reset and renewal.

Yes, complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the resort. However, many guests find the remote Thaa Atoll setting naturally encourages a digital detox, and the wellness team can support you in finding a healthy balance between connectivity and the restorative benefits of disconnecting.
