With idyllic villas, white sands, turquoise waters and exquisite dining under the stars, Komandoo Maldives Resort is a perfect place to let go of modern life distractions and to focus on the meaningful things in life.

Leave work-related stress and constant notifications on your phone behind for a week or two, and let the lapping of the waves and dolphin spotting be your only distractions. Treat yourself to a digital detox: search for clown fish and turtles rather than for Wi-Fi coverage and feel zero guilt to take time to yourself, to switch off, reflect, pause and observe the natural wonders and the romance on the island. Notice the warm and beneath your feet, how beautiful the sun’s rays are as they sparkle through the water and cast mesmerising patterns on the sand beneath, take a deep breath and simply be – it does wonders for the soul.

Swap your smartphone for snorkel gear and spend your days exploring the reefs of Lhaviyani Atoll, or sipping cocktails next to the resort’s infinity pool or on your villa sundeck. To indulge in pure relaxation, a visit to Duniye Spa will leave you feeling rejuvenated and recharged, and put your body and mind into a state of complete calm. Sign up for that yoga lesson you’ve been meaning to do for years or choose from the rest of the array of experiences that promote your wellness!

The excellent culinary offerings available in both Falhu and Aqua restaurants, as well as the exquisite private dining events, allow you to spend time savouring the flavours, smelling and aromas, and taking in the views of the ocean while doing so. Dine under the stars with your loved one to really unplug and rekindle the sparks in your relationship that might have been pushed aside due to the hustle and bustle of the daily grind.

The slow pace of the days, combined with the favourable climate, beautiful natural surroundings and romance, make Komandoo a stress-free, a shoe-free and a traffic-free, adults-only holiday retreat that allows you ditch the digital leash and connect with yourself again.

If you can’t quite bear to ditch the mobile entirely, make a pledge with yourself to simply leave it in your villa, set yourself some screen time restrictions, turn off notifications and maybe just take it out for photo opportunities once in a while – better still, make use of our professional photographer for stunning ‘Instagram-worthy’, ‘likeable’ and ‘loveable’ shots that will be the envy of all when you post them upon your return!

It’s worth noting that we do have a Mobile App which is a great planning tool where you can book lots of incredible experiences before you leave home – these can be changed once you’re here and if you prefer to go phone free, our team at reception can help you with that!

Anyone flirting with the idea of spending their next holiday in the Maldives inevitably has the country’s iconic water villas on the radar. Whether you fancy the idea of waking up to the lapping of the waves, can’t resist the thought of swimming in the 27°C warm lagoon directly from your own steps, or want to arrange a Champagne Breakfast for your loved one on your private terrace, the verdict is clear – you need water villas in your life!

Living up to your expectations of a tranquil, adults-only resort that boasts 15 villas perched right on top of the ocean (in addition to 50 beach villas) is Komandoo, one of the Maldives’ most renowned islands for romance. Here, the Maldives’ experience, as seen in your Instagram feed and raved about on TripAdvisor, is yours to be had; be it seeking shade in the airy villa, enjoying a Jacuzzi Indulgence or lazing on the terrace sunbed admiring unobstructed views of the ocean before heading off to the coral reef directly in front, the Jacuzzi Water Villas will not disappoint.

The excited feeling of butterflies at the trip planning stage is nothing compared to the moment you spot the wooden pontoon walkway that connects Komandoo’s water villas as you gaze through the seaplane window!

Every day is a special occasion at Komandoo, the Maldives’ only adults-only resort. Whether it’s your honeymoon, anniversary or that special birthday, a box to tick during your holiday on the island is to visit Duniye Spa, where Kerti and her team look forward to pampering you to help you turn into even more relaxed and rejuvenated version of yourself!

As your countdown ticks closer, we invite you to head over to Komandoo Gifts, the resort’s online gift registry, where you can choose from three flexible spa packages; the Bronze, Silver and Gold Packages are available at discounted rates only valid for bookings through Komandoo Gifts.

Celebrate well-being on the most romantic island in the Maldives.

One of the lovely features that sets Komandoo apart from the larger Maldives’ resorts is its personalised, attentive approach to diving. The philosophy of the dive center’s valet service is straightforward: ensure that scuba diving adventures are as hassle free, stress free and enjoyable as possible.

For you to experience the wonders of the atoll’s underwater, a lot of the inconveniences that are often associated with diving are taken off your shoulders at Komandoo. You may find carrying tanks, loading the equipment onto the boat, rinsing it after the dive and similar tasks a part of the experience, however don’t feel guilty if deep inside you would be rather pleased if for once you could offload some of these logistics and worries to the dive center team. You are in luck because the Prodivers’ instructors and support team (including Saizuddin who’s been keeping Komandoo divers happy for a whopping 20 years!), know how precious your holiday time is, and are on hand to help you with the surface part of the diving.

The team will help you with storing your equipment, getting it ready for your dive, transporting it to the boat, setting it up if you wish to, so the only things left for you is to make a giant stride and dive in! Once the underwater fun is over, the team will assist you with taking the gear back to the dive center and even rinse it and hang it up to dry for you.

Whether you are arriving at Komandoo for the first time or have been here a dozen times, you can expect exceptional service with a big emphasis on safety and attentiveness. The diving groups are small (private diving is available on request too), the team speak a number of languages, the diving boats are comfortable and the dive sites aplenty. In fact, it is not unlikely that the diving at Komandoo will change you – you’ll be hard-pressed to find a resort dive center on par with the service offered at Komandoo’s!

No holiday in the Maldives is complete without dining on the beach and Komandoo is no exception! Chef’s outstanding, seafood-inspired 3-course menu is delightful in and of itself, but add the romantic atmosphere created by the lapping of the waves, candlelight and the company of your loved one and you get an evening to remember!

There is nothing better than your darling surprising you with fine dining in the starlight – be it during your honeymoon, to celebrate your birthday or wedding anniversary or simply to enjoy each other’s company over excellent food – and Komandoo Gifts allows you to keep your reservation a secret!

Komandoo’s Sunday beach dinner makes a great gift for your friends or family too; should you not be able to spend a holiday at the resort together, you can still tell them you’re thinking about them and wish them a fabulous time with this thoughtful gesture.
