It seems like it was only yesterday that we officially opened the resort’s (imaginary) doors and welcomed the very first guests, Elvira, Uwe and Bianca, but it’s already a whole 20 years since that lucky Friday, 13th November 1998! What was the second resort to open in Lhaviyani Atoll has slowly but persistently established itself as one of the top resorts for romance, and not just in the Maldives but in wider Asia too. By constantly improving the island’s facilities, caring for its fragile natural environment and putting a big emphasis on the team’s professional and personal development, everyone who has been living and breathing with the resort in these past two decades – the owners, management, our team of champions and last but certainly not least you, our guests, with your heartwarming support – has helped make it possible for Komandoo to stand the test of time and remain a small island that takes up big chunks in the hearts of many people.

Thank you for loving Komandoo just the way it is!

A special thank you to Sara Louise Hodds who dug out some of the pictures used in this gallery from her holiday album from 18 years ago. See you in January, Sara!
