What Our Guests Say

Rated Travellers' Choice on TripAdvisor

Secluded yet family friendly resort

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. 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!

Always the best time at Como Maalifushi

We always have the best time at Como Maalifushi - we've been coming here with our 6 year old every summer since she was 2. Naail took such good care of us and a special thank you also to Ibu Rini as well as Diah and Sheryl from the kids club.
