Madi also holds three themed nights each week. There’s the ‘Taste of Indian Ocean’ night on Monday, with traditional Maldivian Boduberu dancing and drumming. On Wednesday night the ‘Flavours of the East’ explores the area’s characteristic sweet, sour hot and salty flavours. The week ends with a seafood barbeque on Friday night, dining beneath the stars to the sound of live music from local musicians.

Activities


Play by COMO

Play by COMO Concept
Play by COMO is the service concept for how COMO Hotels and Resorts caters to families. Underpinning Play by COMO is a “whole-property” approach and we seek to bring our brand pillars of wellness, great food and personalized experiences to the child’s and family’s experiences of COMO. The space caters to our younger guests between the ages of 4 and 12 years old. We know that a travel experience is only as good as the stories that our guests bring home, and share with friends, on Trip advisor, on social media. We are here not merely to deliver a luxury experience but also to create memories.
Play by COMO Space
The dedicated Play by COMO rooms have been designed as an inspiring and social space for families. This is not a place to “dump” children, but a place where parents can feel like children! We created a “village-square” feel as children mix with other children and make friends, either through free play or organize activities.
• This is not a childcare, but inspiring space conducive to imagination, relaxation and discovery.
• Well-designed activities and caring staff are the foundation of great memories
• Children love having authority in a space, and generally understand rules when well-articulated. Such is the [[Play by COMO Pledge]] such that adult discipline within the space is not construed as authoritative, but collaborative in maintaining the rules of the space.
• No more than one scheduled activity per afternoon or morning. Repetition is also fine for many families for signature activities, e.g. Family Yoga, as this builds familiarity and turns an activity into a family tradition.
• Activities for the property reflects the destination but generally creative, informative, and sensory:
– Creative (high touch, interactive, open-ended e.g. art, craft, painting, clay, weaving, collage, light box, drawing with mirrors, photography, narrative)

– Exploratory (make microscope slides and draw what you see, planting/gardening, material world, everyday science, nature journals, crystal growing, etc)

– Collaborative (games, building things, dancing, puppet shows, music sessions, storytelling, playacting)
– Active (beachcombing, sport and games, trampoline, climbing, spelunking, scavenger hunt)

Guided SUP/Kayak Tour

Glide along COMO Maalifushi’s beautiful bay on a kayak or stand up paddleboard. This excursion takes you around the island and provides a fantastic core workout. You can also paddle to COMO’s private, off-coast island, Lavadhoo.

Light Tackle and Fly Fishing

Windsurfing Lesson

Windsurfing is a thrilling blend of sailing and surfing. Each lesson moves at your own pace, as we cover the fundamental techniques needed to balance on the board then harness the wind’s energy.

Diving

The sheer abundance of marine life and clear visibility makes Thaa Atoll one of the greatest underwater regions on the planet. While around 25 sites in the Thaa Atoll are already chronicled, there are numerous unexplored channels and reefs, with the waters offering something for divers of all abilities. All divers are required to hold an International SCUBA diving license, which you will be asked to provide together with your logbook. COMO Maalifushi offers a range of PADI courses for those looking to earn their diving license. Please refer to our diving rate sheet  for more information on equipment rental, courses and dive trips.

Turtle Expedition Snorkel

A short briefing will be given about the turtle species around the island, followed by a 20-minute boat ride to a beautiful outer reef where you can see these gentle creatures, as well as other reef fish, in their natural habitat. Turtles are curious animals and will sometimes swim close to the boat.

Guided Catamaran Snorkel

Sunset Bottom Fishing

Occasionally you may spot Eagle Rays or Green Turtles gliding by.

Whale Shark Night Snorkel

Our boat will take you from the resort to find the largest fish in the sea, where you can choose to join them under the waves or simply watch them from the deck. The Maldives’ clear waters allow for an aquarium-like view of the gentle giants.

Surfing

The Thaa coastline captures swells from numerous directions and is therefore consistent. Choose from scheduled trips to the Farms area – a contoured, reef-corner that delivers mechanical-shaped waves that are ideal for noseriding, fish or finless, SUP or even tearing it up on a shortboard when the swell is up – or dearer private charters to some remote, secret spots. Surfers may also enjoy the benefits of Tropicsurf’s world renowned coaching system. A full time Tropicsurf guide is based exclusively at COMO Maalifushi from April to October. We combine local expertise and vessel to deliver you to the best breaks. Learn secrets to better technique from our guides who can peg your performance to our 100 point-skill progression and tailor your path to rapid improvement. Please approach our Tropicsurf guides at the Surf Shack for pricing and more information.

One review of “COMO Maalifushi Residence

  1. Svetlana / June 28, 2022

    Como Maalifushi won me over with its atmosphere, cozy interiors, lush tropical greenery, gourmet cuisine, including delicious detox cocktails based on vegetables, fruits and herbs.
    You should definitely go to Como Maalifushi if you want cozy luxury. The villas are very spacious, you can stay with a large family or a group of friends. Interiors in natural colors, in which you relax your body and soul. An amazing mix of Japanese simplicity and Italian luxury. Very comfortable bed. Cleanliness and impeccable service. The staff is sensitive and professional, the team is excellent!
